Instruction manual D-850

It is important that you read these instructions before using your
new dehumidifier and we strongly recommend keeping them in a
safe place for future reference.

Thank you for choosing an Amcor dehumidifier, a leading brand in indoor air
treatment. We would like you to enjoy the many benefits that this dehumidifier offers.
So please take the time to read this manual carefully and take full advantage of the
many advanced features of your Amcor dehumidifier.

ENGLISH

Thank you!

Safety

This appliance must be earthed. Refer to the rating plate for voltage
and power input. The installation must be in accordance with
regulations of the country where the installation is performed.
The unit is designated for indoor operation.

* The D-850 is safe. It has been approved by many safety institutions around the

world. However, as with other electrical appliance, use it with care.
* Keep out of reach of children.
* Do not clean the D-850 by spraying it or immersing it in water.
* Do not insert any object into the opening of the D-850.
* Disconnect from the mains before cleaning the unit or any of its components.
* Never connect to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If an outlet is not

available, one should be installed by a licenced electrician.
* Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed

by an authorized service representative. Failure to do so could result in a loss of

warranty.
* When the unit is placed in a (swimming) pool, connect to the mains via a

transformer or a breaking switch, conform the regulations regarding electrical

installations.

Warning
Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged
cord or plug.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an approved
service representative or a similar qualified person in order to
avoid any hazards.

Your Amcor dehumidifier controls Relative Humidity by passing the air through the
unit forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling elements.

This condensate water then flows safely into a fixed drain.
The dried air then passes through a final heat exchanger where it is slightly warmed

and re-enters the room at a slightly elevated temperature.
The level of demoistering is set with the humidistat control.

ENGLISH

How it works

WARNING:
This appliance must be earthed.
Refer to the rating plate for
voltage and power input.

Your Amcor dehumidifier is supplied
with an electrical cable and an earthed
plug. Should it be necessary to replace
this plug at any time, you must use an
earthed electrical plug.

For U.K. only: If the attached plug
is unsuitable, cut it off and throw it
away. NEVER insert the severed
plug into an electrical socket or
outlet. Never use the plug without
the fuse cover fitted in place. If the
cover is lost you can purchase a
replacement from PENCON. The
replacement fuse is 10 Amps and
should conform to BS1362.
Check the wiring instructions and
diagram while refitting a plug.

The BLUE (Neutral) wire should be
connected to the terminal in the plug
marked N or coloured black.

The BROWN (Live) wire should be
connected to the terminal in the plug
marked L or coloured red.

The GREEN/YELLOW (Earth) wire
should be connected to the terminal in
the plug marked E or or coloured
green.

ENGLISH

There must be a minimum distance of 30 cm from the frontside and
the topside of the unit with each other object.

Your Amcor dehumidifier can be installed in any closed area with a too high relative
humidity, such as cellar, playing area, shed, archive or swimming pool.
The D-850 will begin to protect from the harmful effects of excess moisture as soon
as it is plugged in. Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same
way that cooking smells waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the
dehumidifier should be positioned so that it can draw this moist air towards it from
all over the home.

Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by
positioning the dehumidifier close to this area and then gradually moving it to a
more central point.

When positioning your Amcor dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level
surface.

Best results are obtained when windows and doors are closed, thus preventing the
possible influx of fresh, too humid, air.

If you want to move the unit switch it off first.

We do not recommend the use of an extension lead so please try to ensure that the
unit is sufficiently close to a fixed socket.
If it is necessary to use an extension lead please ensure the diameter of the wires of
the cable is at least 1.5 mm2.

When the unit is placed in a (swimming) pool, connect to the mains via a
transformer or a breaking switch, conform the regulations regarding electrical
installations.

When the dehumidifier is in operation, open outside doors and windows only when
necessary.

There are four optional outlets for the drainage tube. In order to change the outlet of
the drainage tube the rear panel should be dismounted.
When remounting the rear panel care should be taken to return all the screws and
washers to their original location.

Connecting the permanent outlet

• Connect the pipe to an outlet tube with the correct diameter.

• Push the other end of the tube into a drain, making sure that the tubing cannot be

twisted or folded.

• The entire length of the tube must be slightly inclined.

• Ensure that the outlet of the drainage pipe is NOT under the water level in

the drain.

NOTE: In very cold weather conditions precautions should be taken to prevent the
drainage pipe from freezing.

The unit can be either located on the floor or be hung on the wall.

Standing on the floor

The unit is equipped with 4 plastic legs. Make sure that all the legs are supported by
the floor.

Hanging on the wall

The unit can be hung on 2 screws inserted in the wall.
In the attached plastic bag please find two screws & two plastic wall inserts suitable
for those screws.

Location

Drainage

The two screws should be horizontally located on the wall with a distance of 450
mm. between them. On the metal rear panel of the unit there are two pear like slots
in which the heads of the screws should be inserted.

In order to eliminate vibrations and noise the two rubber supports in the attached
plastic bag should be fixed to the lower corners of the unit’s rear panel.
(Peel off the cover from the self adhesive strip attached to the rubber support and
stick the supports to the rear panel).

(see page 3)
Automatic humidity control

Your Amcor dehumidifier is equipped with an adjustable humidistat control (3).
When you first use the unit, turn the humidistat control clockwise, all the way for
minimum humidity.
At this setting the dehumidifier will run continuously, regardless of the humidity level.
Allow the unit to run in this way until a comfortable level of humidity is reached. At
this point, slowly turn the humidistat control anti-clockwise until the unit switches off.
The dehumidifier will now automatically maintain the humidity at this level.

In most cases you will see a reduction in condensation within a few days. In severe
cases, however, it may take several weeks to remove sufficient moisture to maintain
an acceptable humidity level.

The other switch controls the ventilator speed. The size of the room (or swimming
pool) is determining the setting for the ventilator speed.

IMPORTANT:

Model D-850 should not be used in temperatures below 7°C or above 35°C.

Defrost Control

Your Amcor dehumidifier is equipped with an automatic de-icing mode to defrost the
refrigeration coil during low temperature operation. The compressor is switched off
whilst the ventilator continues to run.

Fan speed control (2)

The dehumidifier features a 2-speed fan. Depress the switch to the high setting,
marked with a .
For quiet night time operation set the switch to the lowest speed setting.

If the dehumidifier does not operate:

• Make sure the unit is plugged in.

• Ensure the humidistat control is turned on.

If the unit is noisy:

• Make sure the dehumidifier is standing solidly and level.

If the unit is leaking:

• Check the drainage tube for correct fitting.

• Check for twists and bends in the drainage tube.

• Check the drainage tube for a sufficient slope.

• Check and make sure that the outlet of the drainage pipe is not under the

waterlevel in the drain.

Subject to alteration without notice.

ENGLISH

Trouble shooting

Cleaning the air filter (4)

Disconnect from the mains before cleaning the unit or any of its components.

Air circulation is impeded and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air purifying
functions decreases when the filter is dirty. It is therefore good practice to clean the
filter at regular intervals. The precise intervals depend on the room in which the
appliance operates and on how frequently it is used.

• Remove the filter (4) by sliding it out.

• Clean the filter or wash in tap water.

• Dry the filter before inserting it back.

Housing

Wipe regularely clean with a moist cloth and mild household detergent.

Servicing

Have your dehumidifier once a year serviced by a qualified engineer.
