- Timer button: Press to set the timer.
- Humidity adjust buttons: The humidity level can be set within a range of 35% to 85% relative humidity in 5% increments. For drier air, set to a lower percentage value. For more damp air, set a higher percentage value.
- Power button: Press to turn the dehumidifi er on or off.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
- Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor that is strong enough to support the appliance with a full bucket of water.
- Do not place the dehumidifi er on carpeting as this can block air flow around the appliance. Do not force casters to move over carpeting as the appliance can become unbalanced and spill water.
- To maintain efficiency, operate the appliance in an enclosed area. Keep nearby doors and windows closed.
- Maintain a minimum clearance of 40 cm (16 inches) around the air outlets and 20 cm (8 inches) on other sides of the appliance to allow for proper air circulation.
- The recommended ambient operating temperature is between 5^ C ( 41^ F) and 32^ C ( 90^ F).
- Any time the appliance is placed on its back or side, it must be allowed to stand upright for 6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to internal components.
- The default humidity setting is 40% and high fan speed. Depending on humidity conditions the dehumidifi er may not start automatically under the default setting. This means the humidity in the surrounding air is less than 40%. Press the down button to lower the set humidity until the set humidity is lower than the ambient humidity.
- For optimal performance, ensure that the humidity setting is 10% lower than the ambient humidity. It is normal for the ambient humidity to vary up to 5% above or below the set humidity.
- It is recommended in normal conditions to set the humidity between 40-45%.
- It is normal for the dehumidifi er to exhaust warm air from the air outlet.
- The power cord storage band can be found in the water bucket and it can be installed by pressing it onto the back of the cabinet until it clicks.
TIMER
Auto Off
- When the dehumidifi er is turned on, press the timer button to activate the auto off timer.
- Press the humidity adjust buttons to change the set time in 0.5 hour increments up to 10 hours and then in 1 hour increments up to 24 hours.
Auto On
- When the dehumidifi er is turned off, press the timer button to activate the auto on timer.
- Press the humidity adjust buttons to change the set time in 0.5 hour increments up to 10 hours and then in 1 hour increments up to 24 hours.
Using Auto On and Auto Off Together
The auto on and auto off timers can be used at the same time by first setting one and then the other.
For example, if the dehumidifi er is running, you can set the auto off timer to let it run for a set amount of time before turning off and then set the auto on timer to turn it back on at a later time.
Or, if the dehumidifi er is not running, you can set the auto on timer to turn it on at a later time and then set the auto off timer to shut it off after running for a period of time.
Note: The timer will not cycle the dehumidifi er on and off indefinitely. The auto on and auto off timers will function one time and then the dehumidifi er will return to regular functioning.
Turning the dehumidifi er on or off at any time or changing the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the timer settings.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WATER REMOVAL
There are two ways to remove collected water from the appliance.
1. Water Bucket
The dehumidifi er will automatically collect condensed water in the water bucket. When the bucket is full, the compressor and fan will turn off and the full bucket indicator light will turn on. The display will show "P2".
To empty the bucket, gently remove it from the appliance by gripping both sides and pulling outward. Be cautious when removing the bucket, it will be full and can be heavy.
Do not place the water bucket directly on the floor. The bottom of the bucket is uneven and it will fall over and spill water.
Empty the bucket and replace it in the appliance. The dehumidifi er will not function without the bucket installed.
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level fl oat system. Proper installation of the water bucket is crucial in maintaining reliable operation.
2. Continuous Drain
Water can be removed using the continuous drain with a standard garden hose and female threaded end (not provided).
Before using any automatic drain functions, check that all drain ports are clean. There is one drain port inside the bucket compartment of the appliance, remove the bucket to see it. There is one drain port on the back of the appliance where the female threaded end and garden hose attach. All drain ports should be cleaned with a pipe cleaner prior to use.
To use the continuous drain you must purchase a garden hose and female threaded end.
The required dimensions are:
• Female threaded end: ID:M=1''
• Garden hose: ID≥Φ5/16"
Remove the cover from the continuous drain outlet and attach the female threaded end and the garden hose to the back of the appliance. Direct the other end of the garden hose to a bucket or floor drain.
Ensure that the garden hose is not bent and goes straight down from the back of the appliance. The continuous drain is only activated by gravity so any bends or upward motion in the hose will stop the water from draining.
The garden hose should be cut so that it is no more than 1.8 m (6 feet) long. If the drain hose is too long water may not drain completely which can lead to stagnant water and mildew build up inside the hose.
Notes:
- Do not clean the drain ports with anything more rigid than a pipe cleaner as this can damage the appliance.
- If the drain ports are clogged or dirty it can cause water to leak from the bottom of the appliance.
- There is no drain pump in this appliance. The continuous drain is fed by gravity alone.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
The air fi liter should be cleaned approximately every 2 weeks. The air fi liter may require more frequent cleaning if there is significant dander or fur in the air.
Approximately every two weeks, the fi Iter indicator light on the control panel will illuminate as a reminder to clean the fi Iter. Follow the steps below to clean the fi Iter and return the appliance to normal functioning.
- The air fi liter is located behind the rear intake grill. To remove the air fi liter, grasp the fi liter tab on the bottom of the grill and slide it downward.
- Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove any large debris or dust build up from the air filter.
- Wash the filter in lukewarm, soapy water, below 40^ C ( 104^ F), or use a neutral cleaning agent.
- Rinse the filter with clean water and dry thoroughly before reinstalling in the appliance.
- Press the filter button on the control panel to resume normal functioning.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without the air filter installed.
CLEANING
To avoid possible electric shock, ensure that the appliance is unplugged before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
The outside of the appliance can be wiped clean with a soft cloth or with a lukewarm, damp cloth if necessary.
Do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any other chemicals to clean this appliance as these substances can cause damage to the fi nish and deformation of plastic parts.
Never pour water directly onto the appliance as this will cause deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation.
Ensure that the drain ports on the interior of the appliance and the drain ports on the back of the appliance are free of dirt and calcium build up.
Note: Do not clean the drain ports with anything more rigid than a pipe cleaner as this can damage the appliance.
Note: If the drain ports are clogged or dirty it can cause water to leak from the bottom of the appliance.
END OF SEASON CARE
Unplug the dehumidifi er and ensure the fi lter is clean. Ensure the bucket is empty and then allow both the bucket and the dehumidifi er to dry completely before storing for the off season. It could take a few days for water inside the dehumidifi er to completely evaporate. You can speed up this process by wiping the bucket with a dry cloth and ensuring the lower drain of the dehumidifi er has been emptied. Store the dehumidifi er covered in a dry location.
