Frequently Asked Questions - KA ADH 3 KALORIK

How to empty the water tank?

Press the sides of the tank, hold the handle, and pull it out. Empty the water (max 5.5 liters). Reinstall by pushing firmly until it clicks. Ensure the water tank is properly positioned; otherwise, the FULL indicator light will flash.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the pre-filter every two weeks using a vacuum cleaner or lukewarm water with mild detergent. The active carbon filter cannot be cleaned and should be replaced as needed.

What do the indicator lights mean?

FULL: Water tank is full or improperly installed. Power: Unit is connected to power. Mode: Indicates current mode (Dehumidification, Laundry, or Quiet). Humidity: Shows set humidity level (50%, 60%, 70%, or Continuous).

Can I use an extension cord with this dehumidifier?

No, using an extension cord is not recommended as it may cause a fire hazard. Plug the unit directly into a wall outlet.

Why does the unit only operate in laundry mode?

If the room temperature is below 10°C or above 35°C, the protective device forces the unit to run only in Laundry mode (high fan speed). This protects the compressor from extreme conditions.

How to set the desired humidity level?

Press the HUMIDITY button repeatedly to cycle through 50%, 60%, 70%, and Continuous. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate. In Continuous mode, the unit runs until the tank is full or manually turned off.

Why is my unit not operating?

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in, the water tank is empty and properly installed, and the ambient temperature is between 2°C and 39°C. If the FULL light is on, empty the tank. Also ensure the air filter is not blocked.

What does the 'Full' light mean?

The FULL indicator flashes when the water tank is full (approx. 5.5 liters) or not correctly positioned. Empty the tank and reinstall it firmly. The unit will automatically stop operating until this is resolved.

How to set up continuous drainage?

Switch off and unplug the unit. Remove the water tank. Use pliers to cut open the continuous drainage outlet on the side. Insert a water tube (15mm bore diameter) into the outlet, pushing it firmly. Replace the water tank. Ensure the tube is not blocked and drains properly.

How to store the dehumidifier when not in use?

Empty the water tank completely. Clean the air filter. Roll up the power cord and secure it. Wipe any moisture from the unit. Store vertically in a cool, dry place, preferably in the original packaging to prevent dust.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	CAUSE	POSSIBLE SOLUTION
The unit cannot be operated	Is the power cable disconnected?	Plug in the power cable properly.
	Is the FULL indication light on?(The water tank is full, or the water tank is not placed in a proper position).	Empty the water tank and place it back to its original position, or replace it to a proper position.
	Is the ambient temperature above 39°C or below 2°C?	The built-in protective device is in action, making the unit unable to be switched on to avoid operations of the unit under a seriously unfavorable condition. Do not use the dehumidifier under such circumstances.
The dehumidification is not functioning	Is the air filter blocked	Clean the air filter by the ways stated in the Maintenance and Cleaning section.
	Is the air inlet or air outlet blocked?	Remove the blocking substance from the air inlet or air outlet.
No air is discharged from the unit.	Is the filter blocked?	Clean the air filter by the ways stated in the Maintenance and Cleaning section.
The operating noise level is very high.	Is the unit properly installed? Is it tilted or unstable?	Place the unit on a firm and stable surface. It is recommended to put a cushion under the unit to reduce the operational noise.
	Is the air filter blocked?	Clean the air filter by the ways stated in the Maintenance and Cleaning section.

If the above-stated phenomena remain alter the corresponding trouble shooting is made, or there are some other defects or malfunctions of the unit, please contact a qualified technician.

The following phenomena are not defects or malfunctions of the unit. You do not have to worry about them.

Phenomena	Causes
The operational noise turns bigger abruptly	When the compressor is activated, the operational noise will be bigger.
The humidity does not drop	Is the room too large for the model of the dehumidifier? Are the windows or doors closed? Are there any apparatuses inside the room that may discharge vapor, such as an oven?
The dehumidification is very little or nothing at all	When the room temperature or RH is too low, such phenomenon will occur.
The outlet air smells moldy when the unit is put into operation for the first time.	As the temperature of the heat exchanger is raised abruptly, there might be some strange odor or moldy smell.
The unit utters echoing sounds.	If the unit is used in a small room or a room with wood floor, it might have echoing sounds.
The unit utters abnormal noises when it is turned on or when it shifts the operational modes.	The refrigerant might utter some noises before it restores to stable flow.
There are water stains in the water tank.	The stains are left by the test operation of the unit before leaving the factory; or they are left by the water evaporating during test running. These are not indications of problems.
The unit only operates in the laundry mode, and refuses to work in other modes by pressing the buttons.	When the ambient temperature is above 35°C or below 10°C, the protective device of the unit will be in action, which makes the unit only operate in the laundry mode (with air delivery speed at high level). When the ambient temperature is below 10°C, the compressor will be operating intermittently by switching on for 40 minutes and switching off for 10 minutes.
The fan motor runs but the compressor is not activated.	If the unit is immediately switched on within 3 minutes after the power is off of the unit is stopped for operation, the protective device of the unit will be in action. The compressor will be automatically reactivated after 3 minutes' delay. Or when the ambient temperature is too low, the dehumidifier is in the operational mode of defrosting. The dehumidification will be resumed after the defrosting is over.
