Frequently Asked Questions - TDDP2213ES2 TOSHIBA

Why does my dehumidifier show error code P2?

Error code P2 indicates that the water bucket is full or not properly positioned. Empty the bucket and ensure it is correctly placed back in the unit.

How often should I clean the air filter?

The air filter should be cleaned every two weeks. The filter cleaning indicator will flash after 250 hours of fan operation as a reminder.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Positioning the Unit

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. (See Fig. 9)

• Do not use outdoors.
- This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications.

- Place the on a smooth level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.

- Allow at least 8 inches of air space on all sides of the unit for air circulation (at least 16 inches for air outlet).

- This unit is designed to operate with a working environment between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C), and between 30%(RH) and 80%(RH). The coils can become covered with frost at lower temperatures, which may reduce performance.

- Place the unit away from any clothes dryer, heater or radiator.

- Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.
