CONTROL PLATE DESCRIPTION

OPERATION INSTRUCTION

Starting the unit

Allow the unit to stand upright for 24hrs to let the compressor stabilize

before first use or when transported.

1. Firstly, turn the humidity control switch to the “OFF” position.

2. Plug in the dehumidifier.

3. Turn on the humidity control switch (clockwise) and set it at the desired

humidity level, please refer to table in point 4 below (e.g. position”4 = 60%).

4. For assistance in drying clothes in a laundry/ utility room, please select

maximum dial position for continuous operation and maximum moisture

removal.

Turning off the unit

1. Turn the humidity control switch fully anticlockwise to the “OFF” position and

the power supply is cut off and the unit stops operating.

2. If the dehumidifier is not in use for a long time, please disconnect the power

cord plug from the supply outlet.

NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS

1. The dehumidifier will not operate if the humidity dial is set lower than the

ambient humidity e.g. room humidity 40% and dial setting 2 or 4. In other words

the higher the humidistat dial setting e.g. position 8 the dehumidifier will attempt

to dry the ambient humidity to 20% (RH) relative humidity.

2. When the water tank is full an automatic float switch shuts down the product

and the tank full LED illuminates. Remove the water storage tank and empty its

contents, carefully replace the empty water tank back in position, the unit will

now automatically restart operating.

3. The following table indicates the approximate relative humidity settings against

its related position number on the humidity control switch:

4. The ideal position is around position 6- approximately 40% relative humidity

5. The operational temperature range for this unit is 5-35°C. Please note the

effectiveness of the product reduces as the ambient temperature reduces. For

example in a room of 6

C- little if any moisture will be removed. The product

works on the principal that it requires a high ambient temperature with warm air

drawing over a very cold compressor creating water droplets.

6. Other than on the case of note 2 above, where the dehumidifier does not start,

the operational light does not illuminate or the dehumidifier intermittently stops

for unknown reasons, please check the plug and power supply for poor

connection. If the plug and power supply are in good condition, wait for 10

minutes and restart the unit (it can take about 10 minutes for the unit to reset).

If the unit still does not start after 10 minutes, please contact your retailer or the

manufacturer for repair.

7. When the dehumidifier is in operation, the running compressor will produce

heat. This is normal and may potentially raise the room temperature.

8. When the product is defrosting, the defrost LED will illuminate. The reason this

happens is because the compressor gets very cold to maximize moisture

removal. The defrost function protects the compressor from freezing up and

avoid damage to the product.

DRAINAGE INSTRUCTION

Switch off before carrying out any of these operations

and leave for 3 minutes before switching on again.

The extracted water is collected by the water tank (set

up as supplied), or can be set up to drain continuously

using a PVC hose (not included) connected to a drain

outlet, the drain point must be lower than the unit

outlet (see details below).

Fig 01

USE OF THE WATER TANK:

When the tank full LED illuminates the tank is full, the compressor and the fan will

stop operation, please empty the water tank. Remove the water tank as per Fig

01 and empty it. Gently refit the water tank into the unit in its original position.

Note, if the tank full LED remains on when the tank is emptied please remove and

re-fit the tank to reset the light.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

If you want to use this function, please pull out the water tank and plug a 9mm

internal diameter water pipe onto the “Water out tube”

(See Fig.02). Replace the water tank into the unit, the

unit will now operate while discharging the extracted

water through the free end of the fitted pipe, Note, you

must ensure that the free end of the pipe is below the

product outlet connection and that the drain point is

likewise lower than the unit outlet.

NOTE: When the

continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the

drain hose from the outlet and attach the rubber plug back to the drain outlet.

Store the drain hose safely away from children and vulnerable people.

Filter Removal

•To remove the filter you must first remove the

water tank as instructed above.

•The filter can then be removed from its slot by

gripping the filter handle and sliding it down and

out of the back of the appliance as indicated.

• Every 2 weeks, remove the filter and clean it

with warm water, below 40°C. Allow it to dry

naturally and then replace by reversing the

removal instruction above.

• Never operate the product without the filter

Fig 02
