START OPERATION
- Place the product in an upright position on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or heat sensitive within 39 in. Operating the product in any other
position could cause a hazard. - Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket. The dehumidifier is suitable for operating on an electricity supply having the same voltage as that shown on its rating label.
- Make sure the water tank is correctly located. After switching on the machine for the first time, if the “Bucket Full” light illuminates, pull out the water tank and check that the “float” lever is able to move freely, then return the water tank to the correct position (Fig. 1)
WATER FULL INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)
This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system. This is a safety feature.
BUCKET FULL LIGHT
- The water tank should be carefully removed from the machine by sliding it outward from the front of the unit and it should be emptied. When the empty tank is replaced properly in the machine, the unit will start up and run normally (Fig. 2).
WATER TANK OPERATION
Proper installation of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifier operation. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor system, preventing moisture from being condensed.
DEHUMIDIFYING
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
- To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.
- Press the humidity button to select a desired RH operating value (30%-90%).
- FAN SPEED SELECTION: Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection mode.
AIR FILTER
This dehumidifier features a removable air filter. This filter is located at the back of the unit (behind the air intake grille) directly above the water tank compartment. Press to turn off the light. See “AIR FILTER CLEANING
STEPS”.
- Pull the air filter out gently (Fig.3).
- Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with clean water and dry with a dry cloth.
- Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.
INSTALLING PVC DRAIN HOSE
When the water tank is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the water full red light turns on and remains on until such time that the tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operations are terminated). This is a safety feature.
CONTINUOUS DRAIN (garden hose not included)
- To save having to periodically empty the water tank, this unit can be configured for continuous drain. You can use a garden hose to connect to the continuous drain connector.
- Unscrew and remove the drain cover at the rear of the unit (Fig. A).
- Remove the soft rubber stopper and place it in the water tank for safe keeping (Fig. B).
- Ensure the rubber seal ring is properly seated in the end of the hose as shown in Fig. C.
- Connect the garden hose to the drain port (Fig. D).
- Tighten the garden hose in a clockwise direction onto the rear of the unit (Fig. D).
- Place the bucket in its original location (Fig. E).
