Frequently Asked Questions - DESD9LW ElectriQ

Why does the dehumidifier stop suddenly?

The most common cause is that the water tank is full or not correctly inserted. Empty the tank and ensure it is securely placed. The TANK FULL indicator will flash and the unit will beep.

How often should I clean the filters?

The pre-filter (mesh) should be cleaned every 3 weeks by vacuuming or washing with warm soapy water. The optional activated carbon filter should be replaced every 3-6 months, and the optional HEPA filter every 3 months (cannot be washed).

Can I use continuous drainage instead of the water tank?

Yes. Remove the cover on the back drain port, connect a hose (15 mm inner diameter) to the connector, and ensure the hose runs downhill. The water will drain continuously. Make sure the hose is not kinked.

What humidity level should I set for normal use?

For comfort and energy efficiency, set the humidity between 50% and 60% RH. Use 50-55% for dry storage and 60% for personal comfort. Lower settings (35-40%) are recommended only for laundry drying or severe condensation.

Why is the unit blowing warm air?

This is normal. The desiccant dehumidifier heats the air during the dehumidification process. The warm, dry air can help reduce heating costs in cooler months. The unit is not an air conditioner.

Why does the water tank fill up frequently at first?

When first used, the dehumidifier works harder to reduce the humidity from high levels (e.g., 70% RH) to your target (e.g., 50%). This results in more water collected initially. As the room dries, the frequency will decrease.

How do I connect the dehumidifier to WiFi?

Download the 'Tuya Smart' app. Ensure your phone is on a 2.4 GHz network. Put the dehumidifier in standby, then press and hold the MODE button for 7 seconds until the WiFi light flashes. Choose CF mode (fast flash) or AP mode (slow flash). Follow the app instructions to connect.

What should I do if water leaks from the unit?

First, check that the unit is on a level surface. Clean the filters, as dirt can fall into the internal tray. Also inspect the water tank for cracks by filling it with water and placing it on a paper towel. If leaks persist, contact service.

Can I use the dehumidifier in very cold temperatures?

Yes. The desiccant dehumidifier operates effectively in temperatures as low as 1°C, unlike compressor models. It is ideal for unheated spaces like garages or basements.

How do I activate the laundry mode?

Set the fan to Turbo mode and the target humidity to 35-50% RH. Adjust the louvres to swing or 45 degrees to direct air onto clothes. Place laundry at least 40 cm away from the unit. For best results, keep the dehumidifier within 1.5 meters of the laundry.

• This appliance only intended for use in an indoor domestic environment. Any other use is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause fire, electrical shock or other injuries to person or damage to property.
• Rating: This unit must only be connected to an AC 220-240V / 50 Hz earthed outlet. Installation must be in accordance with the regulations of the country where the unit is used.
• If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply, have it checked and, if necessary, modified by a qualified electrician.
• This dehumidifier has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical appliance – care must be taken during use.
• Disconnect the power from the appliance before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
• Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.
• Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through the guard.

- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for use by those with a lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Do not leave children unsupervised with this appliance.
• Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.
• Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If a power outlet is not available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician.
• Never operate this appliance if the cord, power adapter or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp object/edges.
• A damaged power supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
• Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an authorized service

representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.

- Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.

- Do not tilt the unit while in use. The unit is designed to work only in a vertical position. This dehumidifier must always be stored upright, otherwise irreparable damage may be caused.

- This unit will still operate for approximatively 3-4 minute after pressing the power button to turn off. This is normal and ensures the desiccant wheel is drained of water. Avoid restarting the dehumidifier until 5 minutes have passed after being turned off.

- Never use the mains plug as a switch to start or turn off the dehumidifier. Use the provided power button located on the control panel.

- Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.

- The appliance should not be installed in a laundry or wet room where the humidity is higher than 85% RH. This unit should be operated at an ambient temperature between 1°C and 32°C.

- Do not dry laundry directly above the unit. To prevent water from

entering the dehumidifier, laundry should be placed at least 40 cm away from your dehumidifier.

- Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires, fireplaces, etc.)

- Desiccant dehumidifiers tend to absorb odours from the surrounding environment like cigarettes, cooking, cosmetics, new furniture etc. This smell is described as a burning or sour smell. This is released during operation as the zeolite disc is heated. This is not a sign of a fault and the smell will fade after usage.

- Do not store or use gasoline, petrol, paint, solvents or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this dehumidifier or any other appliance. Do not use dehumidifiers where flammable gases or VOC can be released or accumulate.

ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS

Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.

For maximum performance, the unit should be operated at least 20 cm away from walls and 50 cm from other objects within the room.

Keep the filters and grills of the appliance clean. Under normal conditions, filters and grills should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Do not use the unit without the mesh air filter as this will allow dirt to gather inside the dehumidifier, which could invalidate the warranty.

A dirty filter will restrict the airflow into the machine, which will increase the resistance on the fan and could result in damage and might invalidate the warranty.

Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on the air quality. Vacuum and wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry them before placing them back in the unit.

SWING CONTROL BUTTON: Press once to make the louvres swing and press again to lock at 45 degrees, press again to lock at 90 degrees. Do not operate the unit if the self-opening louvers do not open when the unit is powered on.

TIMER BUTTON: Press the timer button before using the up and down buttons to adjust the duration of the timer (1-24 hrs, start / stop timer).

IN POWER ON MODE: The number displayed will represent the number of hours the unit will run for before turning off. This will remain unaffected if unit goes in to defrost mode or the tank is emptied then reinserted.

IN STANDBY MODE: The number displayed represents the period in hours after which the unit will start. To cancel the timer press the timer button again.

MODE BUTTON: Used to change between the 4 operating modes.

SMART MODE: In smart mode the target humidity is set to 50% and the dehumidifier will automatically determine the best fan speed and dehumidification rate according to the humidity of the room. The fan speed cannot be adjusted manually.

A: When the ambient humidity is >65% , the fan runs at high speed, and the dehumidifier runs at maximum performance;
B: When the ambient humidity is between 55% and 65%, the fan runs at normal speed, and the dehumidifier runs in eco mode.
C: When the ambient humidity is between 50% and 55%, the fan runs at low speed (Sleep), and the dehumidifier runs in eco mode.
D: When the ambient humidity is <50%, the fan runs at a low speed with no dehumidification and only circulates indoor air.

HEATING MODE: The unit will provide heating up to the desired room temperature, which can be selected using the up and down buttons, this can be adjusted between 16 - 30°C in 1°C increments. The control panel will display room temperature, with the front panel displaying the humidity of the room. While adjusting the temperature, both displays will flash the desired temperature set. Use the fan speed button to adjust the fan speed and level of heating (maximum or eco-mode).

DEHUMIDIFIER MODE: The unit will dehumidify until the required humidity level has been reached. This can be adjusted using the up and down buttons between 35 – 80% in 5% increments. The control panel will display current humidity of the room, and the front panel will display the room temperature. While adjusting the desired humidity, both displays will flash the desired humidity set. Use the fan speed button to adjust the fan speed and level of dehumidifying (maximum or eco-mode).

AIR PURIFIER MODE: No moisture will be extracted in this mode, which, when used with filters, will purify the air. The UV and plasma ioniser can also be used in this mode to further improve the quality of air processed.

WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS RUNNING IN HEATING, DEHUMIDIFYING OR SMART MODE:

1. If the unit works continuously more than 8 hours without reaching the desired setting it will go into standby for a period of 30 minutes. After the 30 minutes has elapsed, the unit will restart with the previously used settings.
2. When the room temperature or humidity reaches the desired level, the heating element will turn off. The fan will continue to work for 5 minutes before the unit enters standby mode. After a delay of 30 minutes, the fan will then restart for 5 minutes to recirculate and sample the air.

HEATING MODE: If the room temperature has dropped to at least 1^ C below the desired level, the unit will restart operation.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODES: If the humidity of the room is at least 2% above the desired level set, the unit will restart operation.

If the conditions above are not met for the unit to restart operation, the appliance will re-enter standby mode for another 30 minutes.

When the power button is pressed, the heating element will turn off immediately, but the fan motor will continue to run for 5 minutes, in order to radiate the inner heat. In order to protect the machine do not remove the plug during the 5-minute power down process.

LAUNDRY MODE: When drying clothes the dehumidifier is required to operate continuously with maximum water extraction until the tank is full, set the fan to Turbo mode and set the desired humidity level to 35%-50% RH. 35% is very dry, and the unit will work until the water tank is full as 35%RH is unlikely to be achieved in a domestic environment. The louvres should be set to either swing mode or to 45 degrees directing the airflow onto clothes / laundry. Do not place clothes directly over the dehumidifier vents. Make sure that there are no obstructions to either the hot air exhaust or the air inlet, for best results place the laundry within 1.5 meters of the dehumidifier.

Please Note: If a permanent drainage pipe is fitted, the unit will not stop operation. Setting the desired humidity to around 35% is good for a drying boost, on the units initial run, or in emergencies. It is not recommended to use it with these settings for normal operation in a domestic or office environment over a long period of time, as the air may become uncomfortably dry.

For allowing more moisture in the air, press the humidity button to set to a higher percentage value (e.g. 60-70%).

50-55% RH - Recommended setting, great for domestic operation and dry storage.

60% RH - Great for personal comfort and applications where 50% RH is considered too dry.

70% RH - Ideal for unoccupied properties or where an economical run is needed without the need to go drier than 70% RH

OTHER FEATURES AND INDICATORS

TANK FULL LIGHT

The light will illuminate and the unit will beep when the tank is ready to be emptied, or if the water tank is incorrectly inserted. The water level control will shut off the dehumidifier until the tank has been emptied and replaced in its proper position.

AUTO-RESTART (ON SOME MODELS)

If the unit stops unexpectedly due to a power cut, it will restart with the previous function selected when the power is reinstated.

LIGHTWEIGHT PORTABLE DESIGN ON CASTORS

The dehumidifier is built to be compact and lightweight. The castors on the bottom of the unit makes it easy to move from room to room. Your dehumidifier is an advanced micro-CPU controlled device capable of self-diagnostics. The LCD display may also show error and protection codes.

POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little effect. In positioning the dehumidifier please ensure circulation of the air is not restricted around the unit. At least 20 cm space should be allowed around the unit.

This dehumidifier is designed for indoor residential / small office applications only and any commercial or industrial use will invalidate the warranty.

Use the dehumidifier in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. Close all external doors and windows 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. A warm hallway or landing is an ideal position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation between rooms.

Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier in that area and moving it to a more central location at a later date. 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, and ensure it is placed on a dry flat surface.

WATER DRAINAGE

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

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.

USE THE INTERNAL WATER TANK

When the tank is full, the unit will stop running, and the TANK FULL indicator light will display. Grip the tank securely and carefully pull 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 to its correct position.

NOTES:

- Do not remove the water tank immediately after the unit stops. Please wait a while to avoid the water dripping into the unit and causing damage.

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

- Do not rest the tank on the floor because the bottom of the tank could be uneven and the tank may fall, causing water to spill.

- When you remove the 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 tank against anything or failing to push it securely into place may prevent the unit from operating.

- Do not remove or damage the float switch in the water tank, otherwise the machine will stop working.

- Please make sure the water tank cover is put back into place correctly before the water tank is reinserted.

- If the water tank is inserted incorrectly, the full tank indicator will illuminate. Remove the water tank and reinsert to turn the indicator off and resume normal use.

- At all times, avoid water entering the unit. It may cause an electrical hazard and damage the unit.

SET UP CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

The dehumidifier has a continuous drain hole that can be connected to a plastic pipe with a 15 mm inner diameter (Not Supplied). Water can be plumbed in or drained into a sink, a larger receptacle or through the wall into an outside drain. Please follow the steps below to set your unit up for continuous drainage.

Line drawings of three different household air purifiers with ventilation grilles, shown from top to bottom (no text or symbols)

1. Cut off the cover for the continuous drain on the back of the unit.
2. Pull out the water tank and connect a water tube with an inner diameter of 15mm to the drain connector, and ensure the connection is tight
3. Replace the water tank into position within the unit.

This unit uses gravity to dispose of the water collected and as such the drain should be lower than the dehumidifier water outlet. Be sure to run the water pipe downward and let the water flow out smoothly. Do not kink or bend the pipe.

NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the pipe installation, to start the water collecting in the water tank. The permanent drain can be used in conjunction with a water pump (e.g. when draining from a cellar) to lift the water upwards.

DEVICE SHARING

This allows you to share access to the controls of your dehumidifier with friends and family.

PROFILE TAB

The Profile tab allows you to make changes to the app, such as setting up a username and editing or adding rooms.

Within the Profile tab, you are also able to change settings related to the app itself.

CONNECTION TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Check whether the device is powered on and is in the correct standby mode, if not please refer to the CHANGING BETWEEN CONNECTION MODES section on page 12.
2. Ensure the wifi password has been entered into the app correctly (Case sensitive)
3. Check that the phone is connected to the wifi you are connecting the device to.
4. Ensure the network you are connecting it to is 2.4Ghz (5Ghz wifi networks are not supported), and that there is a strong wifi signal to the item.
5. If your router is dual band, ensure that the 2.4ghz network has a different network name (SSID). Further advice on changing router settings will be available from your Internet service provider / Router manufacturer.
6. Check the settings on the router. Encryption should be WPA2-PSK and authorisation type should be set to AES
7. Try using the alternative connection method. i.e. If connection is failing when attempting to connect through CF mode, try AP mode.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always shut off the unit and unplug it from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance. When it is not in use for long periods, it is advisable to remove the plug from the power socket. Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit.

FILTER CLEANING

The Air-inlet may gather dust easily, clean it often with a soft, damp cloth. If the filter is covered by dust, the airflow and the performance of the unit will be affected. It may even cause damage to the unit. We recommend that you regularly clean the filters. The dehumidifier must be disconnected from the socket before maintenance, and the filters must be allowed to fully dry before use.

1. Remove the filters from the unit, and tap the dust away.
2. Clean the Carbon (Optional) and the mesh filter with a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.
3. If dirt and grease have accumulated, wash the mesh filter in hot soapy water.
4. Replace the filters in position.

NOTE: Never use the unit without the antibacterial mesh dust filter. The active carbon filter is optional and should be replaced if necessary after 1-1 12 years of usage.

HEPA FILTER (OPTIONAL):

According to the time and frequency of use, it is generally recommended to replace the HEPA filter after about 3 months. The HEPA filter cannot be washed.

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 before emptying the tank and rinsing.

NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying the tank must be reinserted securely into the 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.

POWER CORD MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT

If the power cord is damaged, it could cause a short circuit or become a fire risk. Please avoid pulling the cord, twisting or pressing it and keep it away from pets. If the power cord is damaged, power the unit off and unplug it immediately. Contact an electrician or service centre for repairs; do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
The unit does not work	Power is abnormal	Contact an electrician to perform a repair.
	Water tank displaced or full	Check water tank placement or empty water tank
	Room temperature is too high, or air-outlet is covered	Lower room temperature, clear air outlet
Poor performance	Filter is dirty	Clean the filter
	Door & windows are open	Close door & windows
	Air-inlet or out-let is blocked.	Clean air-inlet & air-outlet
Too Noisy	Unit is not placed on even surface.	Place the machine on the flat surface. Add carpet or rubber mat underneath
	Filter is blocked	Clean the filter
The device does not dehumidify	The relative humidity in the room where the dehumidifier is operating is too low.	The dehumidifier dries down to the target relative humidity set and will then go into standby if the desired humidity has been reached.
The dehumidifier works, but relative humidity is still high	The place is too large. This dehumidifier can dry up to about a small five-bedroom house.	We recommend using a dehumidifier with a greater capacity. Call customer service line for advice.
	There are too many sources of moisture. Bathing, washing, drying clothes and cooking all put moisture into the air.	We recommend using a dehumidifier with a greater capacity.
	Paraffin or Calor gas heating can add too much moisture into the air	Consider using alternative heat sources
The windows were clear, and now condensation has returned.	The outside air temperature has dropped significantly, and the windows are colder.	Set the dehumidifier to 40%RH and run for longer
I cannot remove the condensation from my windows, even in “Continuous” or “Laundry” mode	The surface temperature of the windows is too low for a dehumidifier to prevent condensation. Common with single glazed windows or poorly insulated houses when the outside air temperature drops below 0°C	Keep running the dehumidifier on “Laundry” 24 hours a day and if the air temperature outside increases the condensation on windows may clear
The dehumidifier is blowing out warm air	The dried air is passed over a heating element before it is blown into the room as part of the dehumidification process	This is normal and helpful, especially in the cold weather; a dehumidifier is not an air cooler.
Knocking noise coming from the dehumidifier	The motor wheel is low on lubrication or dirt may have entered the motor ball bearings	Run the dehumidifier in Laundry mode for two days to increase the lubrication, if the fault persists then call the service centre
Water notdrainingdown thehose	The hose is fitted forcontinuous drainage,but the water still goesinto the tank	Negative air pressure in the room is pulling the water back into the dehumidifier overflow.Insert a 3 mm hole into the top of the tube 25 mm down from the spout. This willintroduce air into the tube and balance out the air pressure.
		Dirt is gathered in the internal tray. May need servicing.
		If the fault persists then call the service centre
Dehumidifierleaks wateronto the floor	Usually means that thedehumidifier is not on alevel surface or that thefilter has not beencleaned often enoughand dirt has fallen intothe internal traydehumidifier.	Check that the water bucket is not cracked by filling it with water and placing it on kitchenpaper on the kitchen side.
		Check if filters are clean
		If the fault persists then call the service centre
Machine notswitching offthe heaterwhen desiredhumidity isreached	Temperature andrelative humidity sensorthat reads the roomreading is unable toread the correctreadings	Clean the filter and blow the air sensor with a hover or hairdryer on the COLD setting toclear the sensor of dirt
		Unplug the dehumidifier for 10 minutes to reset PCB and then turn back on.
		If the fault persists then call the service centre
On pressingpower off fanstill works foraroundminutes andswitches off	Unit is drying/coolinginternally before goingin off mode	Normal operation. DO NOT remove power until this has finished.

Note: when the fault cannot be solved by the solutions above, please contact the service centre for help, do not attempt repairs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY DOESN'T THE UNIT WORK /OR STOPS SUDDENLY?

The water tank may be full or displaced. Empty the tank and carefully replace in the unit to rectify.

WHY DOES IT REQUIRE EMPTYING VERY REGULARLY?

When you first use your dehumidifier, it will work harder to reduce the room humidity down to 50%RH (SMART mode or the desired humidity set in dehumidifier mode). This is the time when it will produce the most water and as such will require emptying most frequently (even 2-3 times /day). As the room becomes dryer, the dehumidifier will collect less water and it will take longer to fill the tank, this is perfectly normal. When the target relative humidity has been reached the dehumidifier will stop collecting water and will operate for longer periods in fan-only mode, this is normal operation. The intelligent logic of your machine will save you money.

WHAT DESIRED HUMIDITY SHOULD I SET THE DEHUMIDIFIER TO?

Unless you are using the unit to dry clothes, we recommend setting the desired humidity to between 50 and 60% .

For unoccupied properties, garages and etc, set the unit 60-70%RH with the fan in normal or sleep mode according to your needs. That will ensure minimum power consumption while preventing moisture-related issues.

THE ROOM HAS REACHED THE DESIRED HUMIDITY, BUT STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CONDENSATION

If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you need to dry the air further, set the unit to 40%RH or continuous mode with the fan set to turbo mode. This may be necessary if you have single glazed windows, the house is poorly insulated or if the outside air temperature drops towards freezing. Using the unit in turbo mode will add more heat to your room and reduce your heating bill as dry air will heat quicker
