Frequently Asked Questions - Tørr S DH-18 WILFA

What does the tank full indicator mean?

The tank full indicator light turns red and the unit beeps 15 times when the drainage tank is full. You must empty the tank and reinsert it properly to resume operation.

How do I set the timer to turn the dehumidifier on and off?

Press the timer button repeatedly to set the desired on/off times. The display shows the set times. To cancel, adjust the time to 00 using the same button.

Can I use the dehumidifier in cold rooms?

Yes, the unit operates at temperatures between +5 °C and +35 °C. At low temperatures, it automatically defrosts every 30-45 minutes depending on the temperature.

What humidity level should I set?

Press the humidistat button to choose a level between 40% and 80% in 5% increments. The default is 60%. The unit stops automatically when the room humidity drops below the set level.

How do I clean the air filter?

Remove the filter, vacuum it gently, or if very dirty, wash with warm water and mild detergent. Let it dry completely before reinserting.

Why is the unit not turning on?

Check if the power cord is plugged in, the tank is properly inserted (tank full indicator may be flashing), and the room temperature is within 5-35 °C.

How do I use continuous drainage?

Attach the included drain pipe to the continuous drainage port. Ensure the pipe runs downward to allow gravity drainage. The tank will not fill.

What does the heating function do?

The heating function activates an additional heating element, which warms the room air slightly, helping to reduce humidity more quickly.

How often should I empty the tank?

Empty the tank when the tank full indicator lights up. Frequency depends on humidity level and usage; at high humidity you may need to empty several times a day.

What is the recommended clearance around the unit?

Maintain at least 20 cm of clearance on all sides to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
