Frequently Asked Questions - 2650e EBAC

How to use the Smart control on my Ebac 2650e?

Press the mode button until AUTO (or SMART HIGH depending on the panel) lights up. The device automatically adjusts its operation based on conditions. After 2 to 4 weeks, you can switch to eco mode (ECO or SMART LOW) to reduce operating time.

What to do if the red full tank indicator stays on permanently?

First check that the tank is not actually full. If it is empty, make sure it is properly installed: remove it, put it back in place and close the door. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the filter of my Ebac 2650e dehumidifier?

Remove the filter cartridge from the back of the device. Clean it with a vacuum cleaner set to low suction. Put it back in place. It is recommended to clean the filter every month and replace it every 4 months.

Can I use the device to dry laundry?

Yes, use the MAX function (or continuous operation) to maximize water extraction. Press the mode button until MAX lights up. The device will operate at full power and can be set for a duration of 8 hours.

How to install permanent drainage on my Ebac 2650e?

You must order the permanent drainage kit (see order form or contact your dealer). Once received, follow the kit instructions to connect it to the back of the device. This allows continuous drainage without having to empty the tank.

Why is my dehumidifier not collecting water even though it is on?

First check that the hygrostat setting is not too low (increase it). Make sure the tank is not full and is properly installed. Also check that the device is not in standby mode. If the problem persists, clean the filter and check that the temperature is between 3°C and 35°C.

What is the initial adaptation period of the device?

After the first startup, the device usually takes 2 to 4 weeks to control the humidity in your home. In extreme conditions, it can take up to 8 weeks. During this period, leave the hygrostat on MAX (or use Smart mode).

How to adjust the hygrostat on my Ebac 2650e?

Press the mode button until MAX lights up (hygrostat activated). Use the increase or decrease buttons to adjust the desired humidity level. The device will automatically stop when the level is reached and restart if necessary.

Can the device operate continuously?

Yes, select MAX mode (continuous operation) or the 8-hour max function. In continuous mode, the device operates without stopping until you change the setting. The 8-hour max function runs it at full power for 8 hours then returns to previous settings.

What to do in case of automatic defrost?

Automatic defrost is normal between 3°C and 25°C. The device periodically removes the ice that forms on the evaporator. Do not worry, it will resume normal operation after the defrost cycle. No action is required on your part.

The first time you plug in your new Ebac dehumidifier, you'll begin to realise the difference it will make to your home. You'll be amazed at just how much water this quiet, yet powerful unit extracts and stores in its container. It'll get you thinking where it all comes from and where it's been going all those years.

Incredibly, the average family produces 20 pints/12 litres of moisture a day. However, that's one fact you needn't worry about now.

Your Ebac dehumidifier is designed to cope with everything you do that adds even more moisture to the British climate. Everything from showering to washing up, boiling a kettle to breathing – they all add moisture to the air.

This brochure will help you get the very best out of your Ebac and not only protect your home from the damaging effects of condensation and damp, but also improve the quality of your air.

It's surprising what an Ebac can do for your home

There's a lot more to your Ebac dehumidifier than preventing damp and condensation damage. It could actually improve your health.

Damp conditions provide the ideal breeding ground for dust mites. So, if you suffer from an allergy or asthma aggravated by dust mites, lower humidity levels may help. Also, sufferers of arthritis, bronchitis and rheumatism may also find relief from drier, warmer air.

Economy-wise, your Ebac dehumidifier costs typically 2p an hour to run. It can even lower your heating bills, as moist air absorbs heat. This is then removed and channelled back into the atmosphere to raise temperatures by up to 3^ . Plus, being light and portable, every room in the house can benefit too.

Made in Great Britain

Your Ebac dehumidifier has been specificallydesigned to cope with Britain's unique and unsettled climate by Europe's No.1 manufacturer of dehumidifiers.

Important

Your Ebac 2000 is packed in a plastic wrapping, please ensure that it is disposed of safely and where it will not be a danger to children.

This dehumidifier should not be used by children and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, unless they have been given instructions on the safe use of the appliance and they understand the hazards involved. Children should not play with the dehumidifier and any maintenance or cleaning of the product should not be made by children.

Before operation

1. Stand your dehumidifier upright for at least 2 hours prior to operating.
2. Open the water container door, remove the water container - replace and close the door. This will reset the sensors which may have been activated during transit.

Getting the most from your Ebac 2000

1. Ensure it is always connected to the mains.
2. Ensure your Ebac 2000 Smart Control does not switch off for long periods of time due to an incorrect humidistat setting (if activated).
3. Ensure internal doors are kept ajar where possible to allow air circulation.
4. Ensure external doors and windows are kept closed as much as possible. This also saves wasting heat from your home.
5. Ensure the unit is positioned on a flat, even surface.

Positioning your Ebac 2000

Your Ebac 2000 Smart Control is designed to be used wherever you have a condensation or dampness problem and can be easily moved to the desired location. To ensure that you get the best service from your Ebac 2000 Smart Control do not place the dehumidifier next to a radiator or other heat source as this will reduce the performance of your dehumidifier.

Setting the controls

Smart Control

Your dehumidifier is fitted with both a traditional humidistat (see section For use via the Humidistat) and a patented intelligent Smart Control System. We recommend that all customers use the intelligent system, which automatically adjusts the running pattern of your Ebac according to changes in the weather and your lifestyle.

Smart control options.

1. Auto Economy (indicated by one green light illuminated)
2. Auto (indicated by two green lights illuminated)
3. Continuous (indicated by all three lights illuminated)
4. Off (no lights illuminated)

To activate Smart

To activate Smart Control, press the mode button until AUTO is displayed on the control panel. The unit should start in this mode when connected to the mains. The unit will now automatically adjust itself to work at the times needed to maintain the ideal conditions for your home. After starting to use the unit for the first time it normally takes 2-4 weeks to get the humidity in your home under control.

Once signs of excess moisture have gone we would recommend that you try switching to Economy mode by pressing the mode button until AUTO and ECON are displayed on the control panel. The unit will still work using the Smart Control but for less time each day.

NOTE: Economy mode may not be suitable for all homes and/or at certain times of the year. If signs of excess humidity return switch off economy by pressing the mode button until the control panel shows AUTO without ECON being lit.

Fan speed control

Adjusting the fan speed

You may wish to change the fan speed of your Ebac from time to time. Using the Normal setting will remove more moisture from the air compared to the Quiet setting thereby improving efficiency. When switched on, your dehumidifier will default to level 1.

Pressing the fan speed button will scroll through the settings below, after standby mode it will return to setting 1.

Setting

Function

1 Low setting for quiet operation
2 Normal setting
3 Continuous Fan Mode Quiet
4 Continuous Fan Mode Normal
5 Standby position

The speed of the fan is indicated by the green fan symbol - the higher the setting the faster this symbol rotates.

Air Cleaning: When fitted with one of our high performance filters, your dehumidifier may also be used as an air cleaner. To do this, press the Fan speed & Air cleaning button until the fan symbol turns yellow. Pressing the Fan speed & Air cleaning button again will increase the Fan speed for faster air filtration.

Standby: When selected, the dehumidifier will not operate. This allows the dehumidifier to be switched off without adjusting the humidistat setting. Standby mode is indicated by the power-on light turning yellow.

Boost Control: The boost control on your Dehumidifier allows the setting of the humidistat or Smart Control and fan speed to be overridden for a set period of time to maximise water extraction from the air. This is ideal for laundry drying etc.

To select this function press the mode button until MAX flashes on the control panel. The unit will now run on maximum fan speed and at full-power for a period of 8 hours. After this time the unit will return to the settings you had prior to activation.

Note: As the mode button changes a number of functions, the settings remembered are those made 10 seconds prior to boost being activated.

Smart Control

Your dehumidifier is fitted with a patented intelligent Smart Control System. We recommend that all customers use the intelligent system, which automatically adjusts the running pattern of your Ebac according to changes in the weather and your lifestyle.

To activate Smart

To activate Smart Control, press the mode button(1) until SMART HIGH(5) is displayed on the control panel. The unit should start in this mode automatically when connected to the mains. The unit will now automatically adjust itself to work at the times needed to maintain the ideal conditions for your home. It normally takes 2-4 weeks to get the humidity in your home under control. Once signs of excess moisture have gone we would recommend that you switch to a lower setting by pressing the mode button(1) until SMART LOW(5) is displayed on the control panel. The unit will still work using Smart Control but for less time each day.

Every home is different and it is worth trying your unit on SMART LOW(5) which has lower running costs. There may be times when you need SMART HIGH(5) or even MAX(2) running because you are producing more excess moisture or outside conditions have worsened.

NOTE: SMART LOW(5) mode may not be suitable for all homes and /or at certain times of the year. If signs of excess humidity return switch off SMART LOW(5) by pressing the mode button(1) until the control panel shows SMART HIGH(5).

Fan speed control

Adjusting the fan speed

You may wish to change the fan speed of your Ebac from time to time. Using the Full Fan Speed Control Panel(4) will remove more moisture from the air compared to the Low/Quiet Control Panel(3) thereby improving efficiency. When switched on, your dehumidifier will default to fan speed setting A.

Pressing the Full Fan speed button(4) will scroll through the settings below.

Setting Function

A Low/Quiet setting - fan illuminated in green moving at low speed(7)
B Normal setting - fan illuminated in green moving at high speed(7)
C Continuous Fan Mode Quiet - fan illuminated in amber moving at low speed(7)
D Continuous Fan Mode Normal - fan illuminated in amber moving at high speed(7)

The speed of the fan is indicated by the green fan symbol - the higher the setting the faster this symbol rotates.

Standby: When selected, the dehumidifier will not extract water. Pressing Low Fan Speed(3) will instruct the unit to go into Standby Mode. Depending on the current fan speed, you may need to press this several times until Standby Mode is indicated by the power -on light turning amber(8). By pressing the Full Fan Speed Button(4) the unit will return to fan speed setting A.

Air Cleaning (Continuous Fan Mode): When fitted with one of our high performance filters, your dehumidifier may also be used as an air cleaner. To do this, press the Full Fan Speed(4) until the fan symbol(7) turns amber. Pressing the Full Fan speed(4) again will increase the Fan speed for faster air filtration.

Max Continuous/8 hour Run(2): The Max Continuous/8 hour run(2) on your Dehumidifier allows the setting of Smart Control and fan speed to be overridden maximising water extraction from the air. This is ideal for laundry drying etc.

To use this function select max(2) on your dehumidifier (refer to relevant control diagram) until MAX(6) illuminates on the control panel, then select normal setting (fan speed B) on your dehumidifier. The unit will now run on maximum fan speed continuously until standby or Smart is reselected.

Pressing the max(2) button again will cause the MAX(6) symbol to flash. The unit will now run on maximum fan speed continuously for a period of 8 hours. After this time the unit will return to the settings you had prior to activation.

Emptying the water container

The red light on the control panel will illuminate when the container is full. When this occurs water collection stops.

To empty, open the water container access door

The container can then be removed and emptied as shown

Replace the container back into the dehumidifier with the outlet on the left hand side and gently close the door.

Cleaning the filter

Your Ebac 2000 Smart control has a filter to remove dust from the air.

This filter should be cleaned every month and replaced after 4 months. Failure to do this will reduce the performance of your dehumidifier and may over time lead to a permanent reduction in performance.

Remove the filter cartridge from the rear of the unit.

Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner on a low power.

Replace the filter cartridge onto the rear panel.

Automatic defrost system

Your Ebac 2000 Smart Control will collect excess moisture either as condensed water or ice on the evaporator coil located behind the filter. Any accumulation of ice is cleared periodically automatically.

This maximises the efficiency of the unit at temperatures between 3^ (37^) and 25^ (77^) . Above 25^ no defrost is required.

Using the permanent draining facility

The Ebac 2000 Smart Control series can be used in unattended dwellings such as holiday homes, without emptying the water container. To use this facility you must order a permanent drainage kit. To order, please see the order form enclosed with this manual or contact your retailer.

Optional accessories

Your Ebac 2000 Smart Control has a full range of optional accessories available to ensure that you get the most out of your dehumidifier. These include high performance filters and castors. Please see the brochure included with your dehumidifier for further details.
