Frequently Asked Questions - LE60933we GUTFELS

How to start the dehumidifier?

Plug in the appliance, open the air deflector, then press the POWER button. The appliance starts in default mode (low fan, low heat, target humidity 50%). You can adjust settings with the HUMIDITY, FAN SPEED and TIMER buttons.

What to do if the water tank is full?

The WATER FULL indicator flashes red. Remove the tank by the handle, empty it, then replace it correctly. The appliance will restart automatically if the tank is properly positioned.

How to use continuous drainage?

Connect a water hose (inner diameter 11 mm, not supplied) to the drain hole at the back of the appliance. Make sure the hose is clear and water flows freely. To switch back to the tank, remove the hose.

What are the different fan speeds?

Three speeds are available via the FAN SPEED button: Standby (silent, low speed), Standard (medium speed), and Turbo (high speed). In Standby mode, the front humidity indicator does not light up.

How to set the timer?

Press the TIMER button to set the operating time from 1 to 24 hours. The LED display shows the set time. Once the time has elapsed, the appliance turns off automatically. You can also preset the start by pressing TIMER without any other function.

What does the AUTO mode do?

In AUTO mode, the appliance automatically adjusts its operation according to ambient humidity: above 70% → Turbo mode; between 55% and 70% → Standby mode; below 55% → stops for 30 minutes before checking again.

How to use DRY mode to dry laundry?

Press the DRY button to activate the laundry drying mode. The appliance runs for 8 hours continuously with a target humidity of 40% and fan at high speed. After 8 hours, it rests for 30 minutes then checks humidity again. Maintain a distance of at least 40 cm between the air outlet and clothes.

Can I use a HEPA filter with this appliance?

Yes, an optional HEPA filter (ref. HEPA_Filter_LE60933) can be installed to improve air purification. Press the AIR CLEAN button to use only ventilation without dehumidification. Note that dehumidification performance may be reduced by about 10% with the HEPA filter.

What do the displayed error codes mean?

The appliance has a self-diagnosis. Codes E1 to E7 indicate different problems. For example, E5 means the appliance is tipped over: place it upright and press POWER. For other codes, contact technical support.

How to maintain the air filter?

Unplug the appliance and wait at least one hour. Remove the filter at the back. The dust filter (washable) can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or with warm soapy water. Dry it completely before putting it back. The activated carbon filter is not washable; check it every 6 months and replace if necessary.

FAN SPEED BUTTON There are 3 selections under this button:

◆ SLEEP (MUTE): the unit will run at low fan speed with low heat, thus, the unit is quieter. And, if the ambient humidity is less than set humidity, it will run at low fan (ventilation) only, no heat. Note! In sleep mode, the humidity indicator in the front plate will not light on.

24

♦ NORM (standard): the unit will run at MEDIUM fan speed with HIGH heat setting. And, if the ambient humidity is below set humidity, the unit will run at Medium fan speed only, no heat.
◆ TURBO: the unit will run at HIGH fan with HIGH Heat. And, when the ambient humidity is below set humidity, the unit will run at HIGH fan speed only, no heat. Indicator for the set mode will light on.
♦ AUTO BUTTON By pressing this button, the unit will work automatically as below:

• Above 70% .... unit works in TURBO mode.
• Between 55% and 70% .... unit works in SLEEP model.
• Less than 55%, .... unit stops for 30 minutes before rechecking room humidity. Will not restart until humidity is above 55%.

DRY (LAUNDRY) BUTTON (40% RH / high fan speed/high heat) This mode is ideal for creating a great environment for drying clothes. The unit will work for 8hrs continuously with the desired humidity set at 40% before resting for 30 minutes. The unit will then check the humidity of the room. If it is above 40%, the unit will work for another 8hrs before repeating the process. If the humidity of the room is found to be below 40%, the unit will rest for another 30 minutes before rechecking the humidity of the room. The LED above the button is lit when DRY (LAUNDRY) mode is selected.

☆ Under this mode, the fan speed is always fixed at HIGH speed, not adjustable.

HUMIDITY BUTTON Set the humidity level you need: CO (continuous dehumidify), 40%, 50%, 60% or 70%. The set HUMIDIFY level will show on the LED display. Please Note:

1. After 8hrs of the heater running continuously, the unit will rest for 30 minutes before resuming the previously selected operation.
2. If the HUMIDITY button is not set, the unit will work at the default setting: 50% RH /low fan speed/low heat.

※Continuous dehumidify mode

For safety reason, the machine will stop automatically after running for 8hrs. After rest for 30 minutes, resumes to work. Repeat in this cycle.

※ Continuous dehumidify mode + Ambient humidity less than 35% the heater works for 15minutes -> rest for a few minutes, repeats in this cycle, unless the humidity rises up.

※Ambient temperature higher than 36°C

the heater stops, the fan keeps running to check humidity (last set mode) / temperature, then follows the general logic of stopping for 30 minutes if humidity is reached.

※Working with humidity setting: 40%, 50%, 60% or 70% the machine will stop automatically after running for 8 hours, no matter the setting humidity is reached or not. After rest for 30 minutes, resumes to work. Repeat in this cycle.

POWER BUTTON Press this button to start or turn off the machine. Please note it may take a few minutes for the unit to turn off once pressed.

2. By pressing the timer but without turning on the other functions, you can PRE-SET the time for the machine to work. For example, if you press the timer to '2', the unit will turn on automatically 2 hours after and works in the previous mode.

AIR CLEAN BUTTON This mode runs the fan without dehumidifying the air. This is great for purifying the air when the

desired room humidity has been reached, especially when the optional HEPA filter is installed. AIR CLEAN indicator will light on at the same time. The fan speed is adjustable in this mode.
