Important Safety Information READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
To avoid risk of electric shock, do not operate this dehumidifi er in an area that is likely to accumulate standing water. If this condition develops, disconnect the power supply before stepping into the water.
Do not store or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Do not insert fingers or other objects into grills or openings in the appliance.
Do not cover or block the intake and exhaust openings.
Do not operate the appliance without the fi Iter installed.
Do not operate the appliance near heat sources.
This appliance is intended for indoor, residential applications only. Do not use this dehumidifi er outdoors. Do not use this dehumidifi er for commercial or industrial applications.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect the appliance to extension cords, adapters or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet.
Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualifi ed person in order to avoid hazard.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
- Place the dehumidifi er on a smooth, level floor that is strong enough to support the appliance with a full bucket of water.
- Do not place the dehumidifi er on carpeting as this can block air flow around the appliance.
- Do not force casters to move over carpeting as the appliance can become unbalanced and spill water.
- To maintain efficiency, operate the appliance in an enclosed area. Keep nearby doors and windows closed.
- Maintain a minimum clearance of 20~cm (8 inches) on all sides of the appliance to allow for proper air circulation.
The recommended ambient operating temperature is between 5^ (41^) and 35^ (95^) . - Any time the appliance is placed on its back or side, it must be allowed to stand upright for 6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to internal components.
- The default humidity setting is 40% and low fan speed. Depending on humidity conditions the dehumidifi er may not start automatically under the default setting. This means the humidity in the surrounding air is less than 40% . Press the down button to lower the set humidity until the set humidity is lower than the ambient humidity.
- For optimal performance, ensure that the humidity setting is 10% lower than the ambient humidity. It is normal for the ambient humidity to vary up to 5% above or below the set humidity.
It is recommended in normal conditions to set the humidity between 40 - 45%
It is normal for the dehumidifi er to exhaust warm air from the top.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WATER REMOVAL
There are two ways to remove collected water from the appliance.
1. Water Bucket
The dehumidifi er will automatically collect condensed water in the water bucket. When the bucket is full, the compressor and fan will turn off and the full bucket indicator light will turn on.
To empty the bucket, gently remove it from the appliance by gripping both sides and pulling outward. Be cautious when removing the bucket, it will be full and can be heavy.
Do not place the water bucket directly on the floor. The bottom of the bucket is uneven and it will fall over and spill water.
Empty the bucket and replace it in the appliance. The dehumidifi er will not function without the bucket installed.
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level fl oat system. Proper installation of the water bucket is crucial in maintaining reliable operation.
2. Continuous Drain
Water can be removed from the appliance using the continuous drain and a standard garden hose (not provided).
Before using any automatic drain functions, check that all drain ports are clean and free of debris. There is one drain port inside the bucket compartment of the appliance, remove the bucket to see it. There is one drain port on the back of the appliance where the drain hose attaches. All drain ports should be cleaned with a pipe cleaner prior to use.
Note: Do not clean the drain ports with anything more rigid than a pipe cleaner as this can damage the appliance.
Note: If the drain ports are clogged or dirty it can cause water to leak from the bottom of the appliance.
Remove the cover from the continuous drain outlet and attach the female threaded end of the garden hose to the back of the appliance. Direct the other end of the garden hose to a bucket or floor drain.
Ensure that the garden hose is not bent and goes straight down from the back of the appliance. The continuous drain is only activated by gravity so any bends or upward motion in the hose will stop the water from draining.
The garden hose should be cut so that it is no more than 1.8m (6 feet) long. If the drain hose is too long water may not drain completely which can lead to stagnant water and mildew build up inside the hose.
Note: There is no drain pump in this appliance. The continuous drain is fed by gravity alone.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
The air fi ler should be cleaned approximately every 2 weeks. The air fi ler may require more frequent cleaning if there is signifi cant dander or fur in the air.
Approximately every two weeks, the fi liter indicator light on the control panel will illuminate as a reminder to clean the fi liter. Follow the steps below to clean the fi liter and return the appliance to normal functioning.
- The air fi liter is located behind the rear intake grill. To remove the air fi liter, grasp the fi liter tab on the bottom of the grill and slide it downward.
- Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove any large debris or dust build up from the air fiiter.
- Wash the filter in lukewarm, soapy water, below 40^ (104^) , or use a neutral cleaning agent.
- Rinse the fiiter with clean water and dry thoroughly before reinstalling in the appliance.
- Press the fiter button on the control panel to resume normal functioning.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without the air fi iter installed.
ERROR CODES
If the display panel shows any of the below error codes, unplug the appliance, let it stand for 5-10 minutes and then plug it back in. If the error persists, call for service.
AS - Humidity sensor error
ES - Temperature sensor error
EC - Can indicate that the appliance is either too hot or too cold to function properly. Ensure that the ambient room temperature is between 5^ (41^) and 35^ (95^) .
CLEANING
To avoid possible electric shock, ensure that the appliance is unplugged before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
The outside of the appliance can be wiped clean with a soft cloth or with a lukewarm, damp cloth if necessary.
Do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any other chemicals to clean this appliance as these substances can cause damage to the finish and deformation of plastic parts.
Never pour water directly onto the appliance as this will cause deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation.
Ensure that the drain ports on the interior of the appliance and the drain ports on the back of the appliance are free of dirt and calcium build up.
END OF SEASON CARE
Before removing the appliance from service for the year, operate the appliance on high fan mode for half a day to ensure that the inside of the appliance is dry. This will help avoid the growth of mold or mildew inside the appliance. Ensure the filter is clean and dry. Store the appliance covered in a dry location.
DISPOSAL
This appliance may not be treated as regular household waste, it should be taken to the appropriate waste collection point for recycling of electrical components. Check for local regulatory compliance regarding approved and safe disposal of this appliance.
