• Place the dehumidifi er on a smooth, level fl oor 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 fl ow around the appliance.

• Do not force casters to move over carpeting as the appliance can become unbalanced and spill water.

• To maintain effi ciency, operate the appliance in an enclosed area. Keep nearby doors and windows closed.

• Maintain a minimum clearance of 30 - 45 cm (12 - 18 inches) on all sides of the appliance to allow for proper air circulation.

• The recommended ambient operating temperature is between 5°C (41°F) and 32°C (90°F).

• 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 50% 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 50%. 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.

MEMORY AND AUTO RESTART SETTINGS

Each time the appliance is disconnected or reconnected or in the event of a power failure, the appliance will default to the last program setting that was used. If the appliance shuts off unexpectedly due to a power failure, it will restart with the previous settings automatically once power resumes. AUTOMATIC DEFROST If the appliance is operating in an environment where the ambient temperature is very cold, frost may form on the evaporator coils. The compressor will cycle off but the fan will continue to run until the frost melts. An error code may show on the control panel display. When the frost has melted, the compressor function will resume and the appliance will return to regular operation. To ensure frost does not form on the evaporator coils, ensure the ambient temperature around the appliance is at a comfortable level. Higher ambient temperature will also help to remove humidity from the air.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WATER REMOVAL There are two ways to remove collected water from the appliance.

The dehumidifi er will automatically collect condensed water in the water bucket. When the bucket is full or displaced inside the unit, the fl oat actuator inside the bucket breaks contact with the safety switch. The compressor will shut down, preventing moisture from being condensed. The fan will continue to run for approximately 2-3 minutes. Water may drip onto the base of the appliance and onto the fl oor. Make sure to protect fl ooring when emptying the water bucket. 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. 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 fl oor. 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. The bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent mold growth. Only use mild detergent to clean the bucket; do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.

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 are either one or two drain ports inside the bucket compartment of the appliance, remove the bucket to see them. There are one or two drain ports on the back of the appliance where the drain hoses attach. 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 fl oor 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 1.8 m (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.6 CARE & MAINTENANCE AIR FILTER The fi lter indicator will illuminate after 250 hours of use, indicating that the fi lter should be cleaned. Remove the fi lter from the back of the appliance. Use a vacuum to remove dust from the fi lter or wash with warm water and mild detergent. Ensure the fi lter is completely dry before replacing it in the appliance. Press the fi lter button to reset the fi lter indicator. Note: Do not operate the appliance without the air fi lter installed. 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 fi nish 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. ERROR CODES EH - humidity sensor fault E1 or E2 - temperature sensor fault P1 - water bucket is full or not installed correctly 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.

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 fi lter is clean and dry. Secure the power cord with the power cord strap as per the below. Store the appliance upright and covered in a dry location.TROUBLESHOOTING Danby Consumer Care: 1-800-263-2629 Hours of operation: Monday to Thursday 8:30 am - 6:00 pm Eastern Standard Time Friday 8:30 am - 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time Information in this manual is subject to change without notice.
