Frequently Asked Questions - DH1 Thermex

How do I set the timer on the Thermex DH1 dehumidifier?

Press the TIMER button repeatedly to set the desired operating hours: 1, 2, 4, 8, or 15 hours. The chosen indicator will light up. When the set time is reached, the compressor stops automatically. You can also pre-set the timer without turning on the unit; the unit will start automatically after the set time.

What does the 'Full Water' indicator mean and how do I fix it?

The 'Full Water' indicator lights red when the water tank is full, causing the compressor to stop for self-protection. To resolve, turn off the unit, unplug it, pull out the water tank squarely, empty it, then reinsert it properly. Ensure the tank is correctly positioned; if not, the indicator will remain red.

How do I set up continuous drainage on the DH1?

For continuous drainage, connect a water tube with an inner diameter of 11 mm to the spout for continuous drainage (tube not included). Ensure the tube drains freely and is securely placed. In cold weather, prevent the tube from freezing.

How do I clean and maintain the filters?

The dehumidifier has two filters: an anti-dust filter and an active carbon filter. To clean the anti-dust filter, remove the filter holder, take out the active carbon filter, and clean the anti-dust filter with a vacuum or by tapping. If very dirty, wash with warm water and mild detergent, then dry completely before replacing. Do not expose to sunlight. The active carbon filter is not washable and should be replaced periodically.

Where should I place the Thermex DH1 dehumidifier?

Place the dehumidifier on a level surface with at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space on both sides for airflow. Do not block air intakes or outlets. For best efficiency, position centrally to draw moist air from the whole home, or near a problem area. Close doors and windows during operation. Avoid placement on soft surfaces, near flammable materials, or in cabinets/closets.

Can I use an extension cord with the DH1?

We recommend not using an extension cord. If necessary, ensure the cord has wires of at least 1 mm² diameter. Always plug directly into a grounded outlet. Overloading circuits can cause fires.

What should I do if the unit is not operating?

Check the following: Is the unit plugged in? Is the household electricity on? Is the room temperature between 5°C and 32°C? Is the ON/OFF button turned on? Is the water tank properly positioned and not full? Are the air inlet and outlet unobstructed? If all are fine, consult a professional.

Why is the dehumidifier making noise?

Noise may occur if the unit is not on a level surface. Ensure it sits on a firm, flat surface. Check if the filter is dusty or if the unit is obstructed. Normal operation includes compressor sounds.

How do I store the dehumidifier when not in use?

Turn off and unplug the unit. Empty the water tank completely and wipe it dry. Tidy the AC cord. Cover the unit and store it in a place not exposed to direct sunlight.

What is the purpose of the active carbon filter and how often should it be replaced?

The active carbon filter captures dust particles suspended in the air and prevents bacteria growth. It is not washable. Its lifespan varies depending on ambient conditions; check periodically and replace when dirty. The filter is a spare part available as an accessory.

How it works

This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air through the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling elements. Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense. This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried air then passes through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room at a slightly elevated temperature.

Where to position

Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned, so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home. Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point. When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that there is a minimum of 10 cm (4") of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow. This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it should first be switched off and the water tank emptied. We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the unit is sufficiently close to a fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use an extension lead, please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable are at least 1 mm ^2 .

When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed when necessary for most efficient use.

Caution!

• Always keep the unit in vertical position and on a firm flat surface at all times.
• Ensure that there is at least 300mm (1") between the sides of the appliance and any flammable, heating materials.

Drainage

While the water tank is full, the compressor will stop for self-protection and the water full indicator will turn red.

To move the water tank, pull it out squarely from the unit.

After emptying the water tank, place the water tank into space. Make sure it is properly positioned, in order for the 'water full' sign to go out and your dehumidifier is operating.

Please note, in case, the water tank has not been positioned well, the water full indicator will turn red.

Continuous drainage

When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will require more frequent drainage. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous drainage with the following procedures:

1. Connect the spout for continuous drainage with water tube of inner diameter: 11 mm. * Please note, the water tube is not supplied with the unit.

2. Ensure the water will always drain away freely and the tube will remain in right place.

Note! In very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to prevent the water tube from freeing.
