Frequently Asked Questions - IVADH70PW Ivation

Can I use this dehumidifier in a cold basement?

Yes, the Ivation IVADH70PW can operate in temperatures as low as 41°F (5°C). Below this temperature, the unit may freeze and should be turned off. The auto defrost feature activates when frost is detected on the coils.

How do I set up continuous drainage?

To use continuous drainage, unscrew the drain cover at the back of the unit, remove the soft rubber stopper, insert the included drain hose through the cover, and tighten the cover onto the drainage outlet. Ensure the bucket is properly positioned.

How often should I clean the air filter?

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks for optimal efficiency. Gently pull out the filter, vacuum or wash with clean water, dry thoroughly, and reinstall.

What does 'Defrost' light mean?

The Defrost light indicates the unit is in defrost mode. This occurs automatically when the unit operates at low temperatures (below 56.6°F/12°C) to prevent frost buildup on the evaporator coils. The unit continues to operate during defrost.

Why does the unit make a loud noise?

Possible causes include a clogged air filter, the unit not being level, or the floor surface being uneven. Check and clean the filter, and ensure the dehumidifier is on a flat, stable surface.

What should I do when the 'Reservoir Full' light is on?

When the water reservoir is full, the unit stops and the light illuminates. Slide out the reservoir from the front, discard the water, and reinstall it. Use both hands to avoid spillage. The unit will resume operation automatically.

Is this dehumidifier safe to use around children?

Yes, but supervision is recommended. The manual states children ages 8 and above can operate the unit if properly instructed. Never allow children to play with the appliance or insert objects into the grilles.

Can I use an extension cord with this dehumidifier?

It is recommended to plug the unit directly into a grounded outlet. If an extension cord is necessary, use only an approved dehumidifier extension cord available at hardware stores. Do not use a standard extension cord.

How do I switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Press the °C/°F button on the control panel to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature display.

What does error code 'E2' or 'P2' mean?

Error codes like AS, E2, P2, and EC are protection or error codes. Refer to the control section of the manual for specific troubleshooting. Generally, unplug the unit, wait a few minutes, and restart. If the code persists, contact customer service.

Operational Instructions

General Operation

1. Place the unit in the upright position ensuring that it is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
   Note: To avoid a hazardous condition, do NOT place within 39 inches (100 mm) of anything that is flammable or heat-sensitive.

2. Plug unit into wall socket (check the rating label to ensure that it matches the voltage of your electrical outlet).

3. Ensure that the Water Reservoir is properly attached and placed.

Note: If the Reservoir Full light illuminates on first use, slide water reservoir out and make sure that "Float" lever moves freely. Return reservoir to proper position.

When Reservoir Full Light is ON

When the reservoir is full, the unit will stop and the "Reservoir Full" light will illuminate. Carefully remove the reservoir from the unit by sliding it out from the front of the unit, and discard water. Once the reservoir is empty, return it to position. The unit will return to normal operation.

Note: Use both hands when emptying the reservoir to avoid spillage.

Defrost Mode

When the unit operates at low temperatures (less than 56.6^ F/ 12^ C, a layer of frost may develop on the evaporator surface, which reduces the dehumidifier's efficiency. In these cases, the unit goes into periodic Defrost Mode. Time to defrost may vary. Note: This unit can operate in temperatures as low as 41^ F/ 5^ C. If the unit freezes, turn OFF and restart. If the room temperature remains below 41^ F/ 5^ C, switch the unit OFF.

Continuous Drainage Function

Continuous Drainage Function

If the unit is operating in a location with good drainage, follow the steps below to use the Continuous Drainage Function:

1. To avoid periodic emptying of the water reservoir, use the Continuous Drainage Function by attaching the drain hose (included) to the continuous drainage outlet at the back of the unit.

2. Unscrew and remove drain cover.

3. Remove soft rubber stopper (place in water reservoir for storage).

4. Insert the drain hose through the hole in the drain cover.

5. Connect drain hose to continuous drainage outlet.

6. Tighten drain cover by turning clockwise.

7. Return water reservoir to original position.

Maintenance Guide

Make sure the unit is unplugged from wall unit before cleaning.

Cleaning the exterior

1. Wipe with clean soft cloth.

2. If unit is especially dirty, use mild detergent with a moist cloth.

3. Do NOT clean with hose or immerse in water as this may short circuit the unit causing it to malfunction.

Cleaning the air filter

The air filter is designed to filter dust and other materials from the air. When the air filter is clogged, the unit will use more electricity to operate. For optimal efficiency, clean the air filter once every two (2) weeks.

1. Pull air filter out gently.

2. Clean with a vacuum cleaner or wash with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

3. Carefully re-install air filter to the unit
