The WARNING instructions issued in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors that cannot be built into all appliances. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) installing, maintaining, or operating the appliance. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate the equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage. Contact your dealer, service agent, or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not fully understand.

ELECTRICAL To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding REQUIREMENTS must conform with the latest edition of Local and National Electrical codes.

It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure adequate electrical power is available.

This appliance is designed to operate on a separate branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded 120 Volt 60 Hertz (alternating current) circuit protected by a 15 ampere fuse, equivalent fuse or circuit breaker. The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord should be plugged directly into a polarized, three slot, effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 V.A.C.

FOR YOUR SAFETY: To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

GROUNDING

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of

INSTRUCTIONS

electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt

 

as to whether your appliance outlets are properly grounded.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and 3 prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided with this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If the household electrical supply does not meet the above specifications, or it you are not sure your home has an effective ground, have a qualified electrician or your local electrical utility company check it and correct any problems.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet (avoid the use of extension cords). If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cord, use an approved “air conditioner” heavy duty extension cord ONLY (available at most local hardware stores).

Make sure there are no obstructions restricting airflow through the front air intake grill. Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 20 cm (8”) between adjacent walls and the back of the unit, to allow for proper air circulation and maximum efficiency. To obtain maximum operating efficiency from your dehumidifier, the recommended (room ambient) operating temperatures should be between 6°C (42.8°F)- 35°C (95°F).

It is important to remember the efficiency of a dehumidifier will be effected/influenced by the rate at which new humid air (moisture) is allowed to infiltrate the same space/area. To maintain efficiency, the dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area. Keep all doors and windows closed.

CASTOR

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Castor installation is recommended to avoid damage to floors.

1)Remove the castors from the bucket of the dehumidifier.

2)Position the dehumidifier on its side.

3)Locate the arrow on the bottom of the dehumidifier and insert the castor according to the arrow direction.

4)Slide the castor in as far as it will go. The castor will snap into place.

5)Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the other 3 castors.

to select humidity setting. The humidity is adjusted in increments of 5% by each press. Adjustable range is within 30% RH to 90% RH. 10 seconds after setting humidity, the display will change back to the current humidity.

7)CURRENT TEMP/ TIMER SET DISPLAY:

When machine is running, it displays the current temperature. Press the TIMER button to set the machine to shut off automatically after specified amount of time. 10 seconds after displaying the timer, the display will change back to current temperauture.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

START OPERATION

1)Place the product in an upright position on a flat, stable, and heatresistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or heat sensitive within 100cm (39 inches). Operating the product in any other position could cause a hazard.

2)Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket. The dehumidifier is suitable for operating on an electricity supply having the same voltage as that

Fig. 1

shown on its rating label.

3) 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)

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. When the water tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifier will resume operation automatically.

NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.

BUCKET

 

Fig. 2

FULL LIGHT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the water tank is full the machine will stop and the“Bucket Full” light will illuminate.

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).

NOTE: Please use both hands to carefully empty the water tank.

FACTORY

Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure,

DEFAULT SETTING

the electronic circuitboard automatically defaults to the following factory setting:

Humidity Setting: 60%

Fan Speed: Low

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, all previous settings are automatically erased/cancelled. If your

program setting was different from the above (default setting) it will be necessary to re-program your settings.When the unit is switched “Off” manually (using the on/off keypad) the unit will always default to the last program setting that was used.

WATER TANK

Proper installation of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifier

OPERATION

operation. The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and, by means of a safety

 

switch, controls both the water level and operation of the dehumidification process.

 

When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the float switch actuator (inside the tank) breaks contact with the safety switch. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor system, preventing moisture from being condensed.

NOTE: Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system.
