Frequently Asked Questions - the All Climate Dehumidifier LAD250 BREVILLE

How do I set the desired humidity level?

Press the Humidity button repeatedly to cycle through settings from 30% to 90% RH (in 5% increments). The display will show the set humidity. The unit will run until the room reaches that level.

What does the 'All Climate' feature do?

The All Climate function allows the dehumidifier to operate in low temperatures down to 41°F (5°C) by automatically activating a defrost cycle to prevent ice buildup on the coils.

How do I use the continuous drain option?

Attach the provided 3/4-inch garden hose (not included) to the drain outlet at the back of the unit. Route the hose to a floor drain or sink. The unit will then continuously drain without needing to empty the tank.

Why is the 'Tank Full' light on even though the tank is empty?

The float switch may be stuck. Remove the tank and check for obstructions. Clean the float mechanism gently. Also ensure the tank is properly seated and the cover is closed completely.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the washable filter every 2 weeks in normal operation. More frequently in dusty environments. To clean, vacuum or rinse with warm water, let dry completely before reinstalling.

The unit is making a loud noise. What's wrong?

Check if the unit is on a level, solid surface. Ensure the filter is clean and not obstructing airflow. Some noise from the compressor is normal, but rattling may indicate loose parts. If persistent, contact support.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, it is recommended to plug the dehumidifier directly into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Using an extension cord may cause voltage drop and unsafe operation. If necessary, use a heavy-duty cord rated for 15A minimum.

What does the 'Auto Defrost' indicator mean?

When the Auto Defrost light is on, the unit is running a defrost cycle to remove ice from the evaporator coils. This is normal in low-temperature operation. The fan will continue to run but the compressor will cycle off temporarily.

How do I reset the filter clean reminder?

After cleaning the filter, press and hold the Filter button for 3 seconds until the indicator light turns off. The timer will reset for another 250 hours of operation.

The display shows an error code 'E1'. What does it mean?

E1 indicates a humidity sensor failure. Unplug the unit, wait 10 minutes, and plug it back in. If the code persists, the sensor may need replacement. Contact Breville customer service for assistance.

Features

WHAT IS A DEHUMIDIFIER?

Your Breville dehumidifier is designed to reduce and maintain the level of humidity in the air as well as to prevent condensation and mildew on the ceilings and walls.

HOW DOES A DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?

Your Breville dehumidifier regulates the relative humidity of your home by drawing moist, humid air from the surrounding area and turning the moisture into water. The water is dispensed into the water tank or drainage hose, while the now non-humid air is rewarmed and passed back into the room.

WHAT IS RELATIVE HUMIDITY?

Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air and it is commonly expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can hold at a given temperature. A comfortable %RH level is between 40-60%RH.

Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Before using your dehumidifier for the first time, remove all packaging material and promotional labels.
2. Check for any missing or damaged parts as per the components list.
3. Clean all parts according to the Care, Cleaning & Storage section of this book.
4. Use the carry handle to move the dehumidifier.
5. Position the dehumidifier away from walls, furniture and other appliances as per the illustration below.
6. Ensure that the filter, grilles and water tank and drainage hose (if applicable) are correctly installed before use.
7. Connect the power plug to a 230V or 240V outlet and switch the outlet on.

Functions

USING YOUR BREVILLE DEHUMIDIFIER

1. To operate the dehumidifier, press the ⏻ POWER button.
2. The unit will start with a default fan speed of Medium and the humidity setting set to Continuous.
3. To turn the dehumidifier off, press the ⏻ POWER button again.
4. The internal fan will continue to operate for 4 minutes after the unit is turned off to cool the dehumidifier down.

NOTE

The dehumidifier cannot operate if the water tank is full or is not installed correctly.

NOTE

This dehumidifier produces heat during operation which may cause room temperatures to rise by 1^ C to 4^ C, especially if used in an enclosed space.

SENSAIR™ LIVE HUMIDITY CONTROL

- Your Breville All Climate™ Dehumidifier has a built-in sensor to detect changes in the humidity level in the air. This allows the unit to keep the relative humidity (%) on the selected humidity level.

HUMIDITY SETTING

The default humidity setting for this dehumidifier is CONTINUOUS.

The Humidity Setting allows you to manually set the relative humidity (%RH) level between 40%, 50%, 60% and CONTINUOUS.

To select the humidity level, press the

HUMIDITY button until the light illuminates next to the desired level.

When the selected humidity level is reached, the dehumidifier will switch to fan-only for 5 minutes to cool down, then stop. Every 30 minutes thereafter, the unit will operate on low speed to check the humidity. If the humidity rises above the set humidity level, the dehumidifier will restart.

NOTE

When using the Humidity Setting, the dehumidifier will turn off when the ambient relative humidity (\%RH) is less than 2\% of the level selected.
