IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING.
WARNING - This appliance is intended for use in a domestic or office environment only. Any other use is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause fire, electrical shocks or other injury to person or property.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1.
Do not operate the unit with a damaged power supply cord or power plug, or after it malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any way. If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, the distributor, its service agent or similarly authorised qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
2.
This unit should always be kept in an upright position to avoid any damage. Place the unit on a flat stable surface.
3.
Check the household voltage to ensure it matches the unit’s rated specification before operating.
4.
Operate this unit in an ambient temperature between 1°C and 40°C.
5.
Ensure that the air inlets and outlets are not blocked or covered.
6.
Do not place the unit too close to curtains or other furnishings - min 20cm.
7.
When using the "LAUNDRY MODE" to speed up the drying of wet clothes in the room, please keep the clothing at a safe distance from the unit to prevent water from dripping onto the unit.
8.
Never place anything on top of the unit and do not cover with any kind of material while in use.
9.
This product is intended for domestic and office use ONLY and not for commercial, industrial or outdoor use.
10.
To protect against electrical shocks, do not immerse unit, power cord or power plug in water, or spray with liquids.
11.
Never unplug the power cord without pressing the "ON/OFF" key to “OFF” first, as this could damage the unit.
12.
Always unplug the unit when not in use or moving it to a new location. To disconnect from the power supply, grip the plug to pull from the power socket. Never pull by the cord.
13.
Always empty the water tank before storing the unit away.
14.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children and pets.
15.
Do not run power cord under carpet, or cover the power cord with rugs or runners. Arrange the power cord away from areas where it may be tripped over.
16.
Never operate or store the unit in direct sunlight.
17.
If authorised by the distributor, repairs may be undertaken by a qualified service technician. Repairs carried out by unqualified people may cause damage to the unit, damage to property or injury to persons and void the warranty.
18.
Where possible, don’t use an extension power lead as the cable may overheat and cause a risk of fire. Only use an extension lead after ensuring it is in perfect condition.
19. Do not use the unit without the air filter and make sure that the filter is kept clean to avoid
malfunction and invalidating the warranty.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

TO EMPTY THE WATER BUCKET
1. When the water bucket is full, the "FULL" LED lights up and the unit stops in a few minutes.
2. Do not move the unit or remove the water bucket if the machine is still operating. Water may leak and cause damage to the unit or cause an electric shock.
3. To remove the water bucket, pull it out by gripping the bottom of the bucket, and lift carefully.
4. Remove the cover of water bucket first, then pour the water away. Clean the bucket and return the cover and the bucket to the correct position.

TO DRAIN WATER
You may use 2 methods to remove the collected water: water bucket or drain hose.
A drain hose with an inner diameter of 12mm is quite suitable for continuous drainage (1.2M drain hose is included):
D
Restore the bucket
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the ‘knockout’ at the back of the unit. Attach the tubing to the connector through the hole.
2. The drain hose should lead downwards away from the unit, with no sharp bends to ensure uninterrupted drainage.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Check the following before contacting technical support:
Problem Cause Solution
The power is not connected. Insert power plug into the power socket.
The unit does not operate.
Power cord or power plug may be damaged.
The water container is full. Empty the water from the container.
Inspect power cord and power plug for damage. If damaged, do not use - contact the retailer or distributor for advice.
The device does not dehumidify.
The unit is not drying quickly enough.
The unit works, but reduces the relative humidity insufficiently / there is little water in the water tank.
The water bucket has not been replaced correctly.
The air filter is clogged. Clean the air filter.
The temperature in the room where the dehumidifier is operating is too low.
The relative humidity in the room where the dehumidifier is operating is too low.
The unit may have already reduced the humidity in the room to one of the targets of 50-55%.
The room/house is too large. This dehumidifier can dry to about a medium 3 or 4 bedroom house.
There are too many sources of moisture: showers, washing, clothes­drying and cooking all puts moisture into the air. Un-flued gas heating can also add too much moisture into the air for a dehumidifier to remove.
The air filter is blocked - the reduced air flow is effecting performance.
Return the water bucket into the correct position.
The machine does not dehumidify below 1°C. Note: at such low temperatures, the moisture in the room will be very low anyway.
The unit dries down to the target relative humidity, then goes into ‘fan only’ mode until the relative humidity goes above the set point again.
Set the DRY MODE to ‘High’ or run LAUNDRY MODE, which may further reduce the humidity to 35-40% relative humidity.
We recommend using a dehumidifier with a greater capacity, or ‘compressor’ dehumidifier.
We recommend using a dehumidifier with a greater capacity, or ‘compressor’ dehumidifier.
Consider using a different heat source to an un-flued gas heater.
Clean the air filter.
Unit is blowing out warm air.
The unit is noisy.
The fan still runs after I have turned the unit off.
The “Check” LED is illuminated.
There is an odour coming from the unit.
Air is passed over a heating element within the unit, prior to being blown into the room. This is part of the dehumidification process.
The air filter is blocked or the unit is on an uneven surface.
The fan is cooling the internal heater.
The unit may not be working properly
The zeolite desiccant material may be returning various household odours back into the room during the dehumidification process.
This is normal, a dehumidifier is not an air cooler.
Clean the filter and or put the unit on a flat surface. A dehumidifier will also be noisier on wooden floors than carpet.
This is normal. The fan will run for about 2 minutes after you press the power button off. Wait for the fan to stop, then turn the unit off at the wall.
.
Clean the filter and leave to stand for 20 minutes. Ensure that the dehumidifier is not in front of a hot radiator. If the problem remains, then please contact the retailer or distributor.
This odour is not harmful to humans or pets. It of a fault.
