Frequently Asked Questions - 3650e EBAC

How do I switch on and set the mode on my Ebac 3650e dehumidifier?

Press the MODE button to cycle between SMART and MAX modes. SMART mode runs automatically to maintain humidity; MAX runs continuously at high fan speed.

What does the red status light mean?

The Status symbol illuminates red when the water container is full or not properly inserted. Empty or replace the container to resume operation.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter every month using a vacuum. Replace it every 4 months to maintain performance.

Why is my dehumidifier not collecting water?

Ensure the unit is on MAX or SMART mode (not Air Purifying). Check placement away from heat sources and that the temperature is above 3°C. Allow 24 hours for initial operation.

How do I use the Laundry Drying function?

Press the LAUNDRY button to activate high-speed drying. Use the TIMER button to set a duration of 2, 4, or 8 hours. The unit will revert to SMART mode after the set time.

Can I use the dehumidifier continuously without emptying the tank?

Yes, you can attach the optional Permanent Drainage Kit (part no. DDA110) for continuous drainage, ideal for unattended use in cellars or holiday homes.

Why is ice forming on the coils?

A thin layer of ice is normal and will melt during automatic defrost cycles. If ice is thick and persistent, ensure the room temperature is above 3°C and the unit is not placed near a cold draft.

How do I change the fan speed?

Press the FAN button to toggle between speed 1 (low/normal) and speed 2 (high). Fan speed can only be changed in SMART, MAX, or Air Purifying modes.

What should I do if the unit leaks water?

Check that the drainage bung at the rear is securely inserted. Ensure the water container is not cracked and that the dehumidifier is on a level surface.

Introduction

At Ebac we pride ourselves on being the dehumidifier experts. With over 30 years experience we have helped over 1 million customers remove excess moisture from their homes. Our range of products (all designed and manufactured in the UK) reflects our years of expertise and provides an option for every home.

The first time you plug in your new Ebac dehumidifier you'll begin to realise the difference it will make to your home. You'll be amazed at just how much water this quiet, yet powerful unit extracts and stores in its container. It's sure to get you thinking where it all comes from and where it's been going all those years.

Incredibly, the average family produces 20 pints/12 litres of moisture a day. However, that's one fact you needn't worry about now. Your Ebac dehumidifier is designed to cope with everything you do that adds even more moisture to the British climate. Everything from showering to washing up, boiling a kettle to breathing; they all add moisture to the air.

This manual will help you get the very best out of your Ebac and not only protect your home from the damaging effects of condensation and damp, but also improve the quality of your air.

Unpacking you dehumidifier

Please ensure that all packaging is disposed of or stored safely where it will not be a danger to children or pets. In the unlikely event of having to return your dehumidifier for repair, cardboard packaging will be required. You may wish to consider this before disposing of the packaging. Stand your dehumidifier upright for a minimum of 2 hours before switching on.

Technical and Safety information

Setting up your dehumidifier for maximum performance

Location

Unless you have a particular area in need, we suggest that you place your dehumidifier in the coldest, dampest part of the home or alternatively in a central location ensuring that safety is paramount.

Since moisture rises, first floor location is preferable.

Place the dehumidifier away from direct heat source. As the unit uses a cold surface to collect moisture, direct heat will reduce its ability to do so. Doors should be kept ajar to ensure good air flow throughout the home.

Your dehumidifier will not operate should the temperature drop below 3^ c.

Operation

Unless you have a severe problem with excess moisture or damp, we recommend plugging in the dehumidifier and running on SMART Control (see Switching on your Dehumidifier, page 7) Your dehumidifier should run on this setting continuously for 24-48 hours when switching on for the first time. It will then switch on and off automatically at the most economical times to keep the humidity at the correct level.

In the event of needing to increase air flow and water collection, the dehumidifier can be run on MAX for a set period of Time or Continuously.

Comfort

The compressor will make a humming noise similar to that of your fridge freezer. We recommend that the dehumidifier is not placed directly onto a hard floor as this will increase and amplify the sound.

Cleaning the filter

Your Ebac 3000 has a filter to remove dust from the air.

This filter should be cleaned every month and replaced every 4 months. Failure to do this will reduce the performance of your dehumidifier and may over time lead to a permanent reduction in performance.
