-
Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the dehumidifier depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.
-
Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit or out of the louvers on the left side of cabinet.
- A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. It may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying.
- The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of water.
- There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.
HOW IT WORKS
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidi
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Allow the unit to reach room temperature before operating. To begin operating the dehumidifier, follow these steps: Unit must be upright for one hour prior to operating.
- Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 220 V AC outlet. If the BUCKET FULL light is on, remove the bucket and re-install to reset the float switch.
fying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier. The unit is designed to operate between 5^ (41^) and 35^ (96^) . The unit will not work properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will fall greatly.
The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.
- To turn the unit on, press the ON/OFF button . The unit will run in the factory setting of CONTINUOUS and high fan speed. In the CONTINUOUS mode, the unit will only display CO and not the room humidity. It is recommended you leave the unit running in the CONTINUOUS setting for the first three or four days until the sweating and dampness odors have stopped.
- After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY or buttons to choose a value between 35% to 85% , so the room is kept at a comfortable humidity. Pressing the or buttons will change the humidity selection in 5% increments. After you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual room humidity. If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY button will lower the Relative Humidity through the 5% increments until the display reads CO.
- You can also use the FAN SPEED button to change the fan speed to HIGH or LOW. The indicator light will show the setting you have selected. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal.
- The CLEAN FILTER light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. At this time refer to the care and cleaning section to remove and clean the filter. Once the filter has been cleaned and replaced, simply press the FILTER button to extinguish the light.
- The TIMER function enables you to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the choice from 0.5 hour to 24 hours. If the unit is running, then selecting Timer will turn the unit off in the hours that will be set (Delay Stop). If the unit is off, then selecting Timer will turn the unit on in the hours that will be set (Delay Start).
TIMER setting:
First press TIMER button , then adjust timer setting, by tapping or holding the or button to change the delay timer at 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then by 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining (8, 7.5, 7, etc.) until the unit either starts or stops. For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity maintained will be the same as previous setting. After TIMER setting finishes, pressing TIMER button again at any time will stop the TIMER function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the unit either starts or stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated.
- Before entering TIMER setting, make sure power is being supplied to the unit.
Before entering TIMER setting, make sure pressing HUMIDITY or button sets one desired room humidity first.
- To shut the unit down, press the ON/OFF button
FAULT CODES
If the display reads "AS" or "ES", a sensor has failed. Contact your Authorized Service Center.
REMOVING COLLECTED WATER
-
Emptying the Bucket:
-
When the bucket is full, the unit will shut down and the BUCKET FULL indicator will illuminate.
- Do not move the unit at this time otherwise water may spill on the floor.
- Press sides of bucket gently to unclip the bucket from the unit.
- Remove the bucket as shown in the photographs below and empty the bucket.
- Replace the empty bucket back into the unit and once seated correctly, the unit will start up again.
- You should hear a click when the bucket is in the correct position
Warning! Discard water from bucket.
Water is not potable and cannot be used for drinking.
If the BUCKET FULL light does not extinguish, check that the float is correctly snapped in place as indicated by the diagram.
For continuous drainage operation, you will need a garden hose and a drain nearby to discharge the water
