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.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and
grounding 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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.

Batteries: Remove
the cover on the back of the remote controller and insert the batteries with the (+) and (-)
poles pointing in the proper direction.
CAUTION: Use
only AAA or IEC R03 1.5V batteries.Remove the batteries if the remote controller is
not used for one month or longer. Do not attempt to recharge the supplied batteries. All batteries should be

2) Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket (Fig. 1) The
dehumidifier is suitable for operating on an electricity supply having
the same voltage as that 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.2).
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
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.
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. 3).
Please use
both hands
to carefully
empty the
water tank.
Fig. 3
Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure, the electronic circuit
board 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.
Proper installation of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifier
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 insider the cabinet, the float switch actuator (inside
the tank) breaks contact with the safety swtich. 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.
1) 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 100cm
(39 inches). Operating the product in any other position could cause a hazard.
When the water tank is full the machine will stop and the
“Bucket Full” light will illuminate.

When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 18°C), the surface of the evaporator may
accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency of the machine. When this happens the machine
will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C. The time taken to
defrost may vary. If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the
room temperature remains below 5°C the machine should be switched off.
A dehumidifier will help to protect your home and valued possessions from damage (swelling) caused by
moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air as the moist air passes over a
dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained, and collected insider
an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned into the
room environment is elevated several degrees, causing the surrounding air temperature to increase
(slightly). This process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1) To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.
2) Press the humidity or buttons 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 made.
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air.
Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter. This filter is located at the front of the
unit (behind the air intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment. The air filter
plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/dirt particles from the
surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air filter reduces air intake, impacting
negatively on operating efficiency. To maintain maximum operating efficiency, the
filter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks). More frequent cleaning
may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS:
1) Pull the air filter out gently (Fig. 4).
2) Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner, or wash it with clean water and dry
with a dry cloth.
3) Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.

When using the continuous drain function, the PVC hose must be placed horizontally
below
the drainage hole. Avoid uneven ground and folding the hose. NOTE: Should you
damage
or misplace the pvc drain hose, a standard garden hose can be used.
The
function of continuous drain can be performed using the following steps:
1)
To save having to periodically empty the water tank, this unit
can
be configured for continuous drain. You can use the supplied
drain
hose to connect to the continuous drain connector.
2) Unscrew and remove the drain cover at the rear of the unit.
3) Remove
the soft rubber stopper, and place it in the water
tank
for safe keeping.
4) Insert the drain hose through the hole of the drain cover.
5) Ensure the rubber seal ring is properly seated in the end
of the hose as shown here.
6) Connect
the drain hose to the drain port.
7) Tighten the drain cover in clockwise direction onto the rear of
the
unit.
8) Place
the bucket in its original location.
