Frequently Asked Questions - PD45E ElectriQ

Why doesn't the dehumidifier extract much water in low temperatures?

This is a compressor dehumidifier that works best above 15°C. In low temperatures, the air is drier and extraction efficiency drops. For unheated spaces, consider a desiccant model.

Why does the unit stop suddenly or not work?

Possible causes: the water tank is full or not properly inserted, or the room temperature is below 5°C (the unit stops in dehumidifying mode). Check the tank and ambient temperature. Also, the unit may be in defrost mode.

What should I do if the 'Tank Full' indicator lights up even when the tank is empty?

Ensure the tank is correctly seated. The float inside the tank may be stuck; check and free it. Also, remove any obstructions behind the tank.

How do I set up the Wi-Fi function?

Download the 'Tuya Smart' app, ensure your phone is on a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Put the dehumidifier in standby, press and hold the Wi-Fi button for 6 seconds to enter pairing mode (CF or AP). Follow the app instructions.

Can I use an extension cord with this dehumidifier?

No, never use an extension cord. Plug directly into a 220-240 V earthed outlet. If needed, have a qualified electrician install an additional outlet.

How often should I clean the filter?

Under normal conditions, clean the mesh filter every three weeks. Use a vacuum or wash with warm soapy water, dry thoroughly before reinserting. Do not operate without the filter.

What is the continuous drainage option and how to set it up?

Attach a 10 mm internal diameter hose to the drain outlet on the back. Ensure the pipe runs downhill and is not kinked. The tank must be in place. This allows automatic water removal without emptying the tank.

Why does cold air come out of the outlet?

During dehumidifying mode, the unit absorbs humid air and cools it to condense water. Cold air is normal during the cooling cycle. During defrost, hot dry air is expelled.

What do the error codes E1 mean?

E1 indicates a coil sensor error. Operate the unit within the specified temperature range. Unplug, wait 3 minutes, and restart. If the error persists, contact electriQ support.

Is the dehumidifier safe to use in a basement?

Yes, it is suitable for basements. Ensure the area is well-ventilated (minimum 7 m² per unit) as R290 refrigerant is flammable. Place the unit on a flat, dry surface and keep at least 20 cm from walls.

Up and Down Buttons: While the unit is in dehumidifying mode, these buttons can be used to adjust the desired humidity level. The desired relative humidity can be set between 30 and 90% in 5% increments. Pressing DOWN below 30% will put the unit in continuous mode (CO). Pressing UP above 90% will put the unit in auto mode. In auto mode, the desired humidity will be based on the room temperature.

AUTO MODE (AU)
ROOM TEMPERATURE	DESIRED HUMIDITY (%)
≤ 20^	60
21 ≤ Room Temp ≤ 27^	55
>27^	50

LAUNDRY MODE: When drying clothes, it is advised for the dehumidifier to operate continuously with maximum water extraction until the water tank is full. Set the unit to the laundry mode, and the unit will work until the water tank is full. Do not place clothes directly over any of the vents on the dehumidifier. Make sure that there is nothing blocking the hot air exhaust airflow and for best results place the laundry within 1.5 meters of the dehumidifier.

NOTES:

• If a permanent drainage pipe is fitted, the unit will not stop operating. Setting the desired humidity to around 35% is good for laundry mode, a quick-drying boost, or in emergencies. It is not recommended for long normal operation in a domestic or office environment.
• To allow more moisture in the air, press the up button and set to a higher desired humidity (e.g. 60-70%).
• We recommend setting the humidity to 50-55%. This is great for domestic operation and dry storage
• Setting the humidity to 60% is great for personal comfort and applications where 50% RH is considered too dry
• Setting the humidity to 70% is ideal for unoccupied properties or where an economical run is needed without the need to reduce the humidity further.

OTHER FEATURES AND INDICATORS

TANK FULL LIGHT

When the water tank is full, removed or incorrectly inserted the unit will stop dehumidifying, the tank full light will illuminate. Empty the tank and reinsert it correctly to resume operation.

AUTO DEFROST

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off, and the unit will go in to defrost mode. Following completion of the defrost mode, the unit will return to the previously operating settings.

• When the unit is running in a room with a temperature between 5 °C and 12°C, it will enter defrost mode roughly every 30 minutes.
• When the unit is running in a room with a temperature between 12^ C and 20^ C, it will enter the defrost mode roughly every 45 minutes.

HUMIDISTAT CONTROL AND FAN/COMPRESSOR OPERATION

• When the humidity of the room is 2% lower than the desired humidity, the compressor will turn off automatically but the fan will continue to operate to ensure that the air within the room is not stale. The unit will use only a minimal amount of energy in fan mode.
• When the humidity of the room is equal to or higher than the desired humidity, the compressor will restart after a 3 minutes delay to protect the compressor.

AUTO-RESTART (on some models)

If the unit stops unexpectedly due to the power cut, it will restart with the previous function selected automatically when the power resumes, and the 3-minute compressor protection has elapsed.

POWER

After the unit has stopped, to protect the compressor it is not recommended to resume operation for at least 10 minutes. Operation can resume after this period lapses. When the unit is restarted there is a 3 minute delay before the compressor will start.

POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little effect. When positioning the dehumidifier, please ensure circulation of air is not restricted around the unit.

Allow at least 20 cm space around the unit. This dehumidifier is designed only for indoor residential or office applications and any industrial use will invalidate the warranty.

Use in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. All doors and windows should be closed to create an effective operating environment. Do not use outdoors.

Your electriQ dehumidifier will begin to protect your space from the harmful effects of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on. Excess moisture is dispersed throughout your home. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation.

Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area, you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier there and moving it to a more central location at a later date. For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors, and windows kept closed. Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a radiator or other heat source.

When positioning your electriQ dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement. Place the dehumidifier on a flat dry surface.

Note: Do not move the unit with water in the tank as it may tip over and spill water.

WATER DRAINAGE

When the water tank is full, the unit will stop automatically. When this happens, the TANK FULL light will show on the control panel.

NOTE: Only empty the water tank when it is full or before moving or storing the unit.

There are two ways to dispense collected water.

1. USE THE TANK

When the tank is full, the unit will automatically stop running, and the Tank Full indicator will flash.

Slowly pull out the tank. Grip the tank by its handle securely, and carefully pull it out. Empty the water tank and reinsert it into the dehumidifier. The tank must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate again. The dehumidifier will re-start when the tank is restored in its correct position.

NOTES:

When you remove the water tank, do not touch sensors or any parts which are

situated behind the tank. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the tank gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it in securely into place may cause the unit not to operate.

Do not remove any parts from the water tank or tank enclosure. The tank full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water level correctly and water may leak from the water tank.

2. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

Water can be automatically plumbed in or drained into a sink, a larger recipient or through the wall into an outside drain by attaching a pipe to the unit (10 mm internal diameter) (not included). Remove the pipe cutout on the top of the tank and Insert the pipe into the drain outlet above the tank.

Line drawing of a portable air conditioner unit with grid grille and side-mounted buttons (no text or symbols)

Make sure the connection between pipe and the drain outlet is tight and does not leak. Then direct the pipe to a suitable drainage point. This unit uses gravity to dispose of water hence the drain should be lower than the water outlet on the unit. Put the tank back into the unit. Be sure to run the water pipe downward and let the water to flow out smoothly. Do not kink or bend the pipe.

The permanent drain can be used in conjunction with a water pump (e.g. when draining from a cellar) to lift the water upwards.

SETTING UP THE WIFI FUNCTION

BEFORE YOU START

• Ensure your router provides a standard 2.4ghz connection.
• If your router is dual-band ensure that both networks have different network names (SSID). The provider of your router / Internet service provider will be able to provide advice specific to your router.

1. CLEAN THE GRILLE AND CASE

Use water and a mild detergent to clean the washable mesh filters. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock and can lead to the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or soft brush to clean. Wipe the dehumidifier body with a soft damp cloth or kitchen towel.

Remove the ABS filter frame. If the mesh filter is dirty, hoover it. If it is heavily soiled wash it with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before reinserting it in the unit.

When filter cleaning is finished and filters are dry placed them back into the unit.

NOTE: Never run the unit without the mesh filter frame correctly inserted.

2. CLEAN THE WATER TANK

Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent the growth of mould, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around and then empty the tank and rinse.

NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying, the tank must be reinserted securely into dehumidifier in order to restart operation.

END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE

1. Empty and clean the water tank.
2. Clean the unit and the filters as per the cleaning procedure above.
3. Coil the power cord on the special cord storage rest at the back of the unit
4. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why doesn't the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is low?

This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 15^ C. If the temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat the unit will not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated properties, boats or garages please check our desiccant range.

Why doesn't the unit work /or stops suddenly?

The water tank may be full or displaced. To rectify: empty the tank and carefully place the tank back in the unit. Also the unit may be running in dehumidifying mode with a low room temperature. Please check if the room temperature is lower than 5^ C. If so, the unit will stop working while in dehumidifying mode. (unit may be defrosting).

The ambient operating range is between 5^ C and 35^ C with a relative humidity ranging from 30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between 15^ C and 32^ C.

Sometimes cold and/or hot air comes out from the air outlet grill, why?

When the unit is in dehumidifying mode it absorbs humid air from room and freezes it to reduce the humidity.

During the cold cycle there should be cold air coming out of the unit

During the hot cycle hot dry air should be coming out of the outlet grill.
