Energy-Saving Tips

Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow these

recommendations for greater efficiency.

1) Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at that chosen setting.

2) The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean at all times.

3) Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating and heating room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct the air flow around the unit.

4) Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room. Use of the automatic start/stop programmable TIMER feature can be a major asset in this regard if utilized to the fullest extent.

5) When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, turn the air conditioner off and use the FAN MODE on HIGH, MED or LOW. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort and utilizes less electricity.

Internal Safety Feature

This unit is equipped with a fail-safe switch mechanism that prevents the unit from condensing water in the event the internal reservoir becomes full. If this situation occurs, the unit will signal (BEEP) for 20 seconds, and the (RED) WATER FULL indicator light will flash.

NOTE:

During high humidity conditions, if the rate of water being condensed exceeds the rate of water being evaporated, the water level inside the internal reservoir will activate a float switch mechanism (safety shut-off), causing the unit to stop/cease operation automatically. In this event,

• the red “water full” indicator light on the control

panel will begin to flash

• and a warning beep will sound.

To return to normal operation:

1. Switch the unit off;

2. Place a pan with a 1.9L (4 pts) capacity

beneath the lowest drain ports located on the bottom rear of the unit (see Fig. D1).;

3. Open the drains by unscrewing their drain caps;

4. Wait until all the water inside the internal reservoir

is emptied, then reattach the drain caps;

5. Properly dispose of the water in the pan;

6. Switch the unit on.

It may take 3-5 minutes for the compressor to re-start. This is normal.

Direct Drain Instructions

Direct drain operation is intended for floor drain application only. Direct drain cannot be used in stem

pipe and / or sink applications:

While the unit is off:

1. Locate the unit as close as you can to the floor

drain you will be using for water drainage;

2. Remove the drain cap located in the middle (approximately) of the back of the unit (see Fig.

D2);

3. Attach the hose’s coupler directly onto the direct

drain’s thread and hand-tighten to seal the connection;

4. Place the open end of the drain hose directly over the floor drain.

You may now start the unit and begin dehumidifying. NOTE: Remember to remove the hose and re-install the drain cap when the direct drain feature is not in use.

IMPORTANT: The relative humidity setting selected should always be set a few degrees lower than the room ambient relative humidity conditions, to ensure

normal dehumidifying operation. NOTE: it is not

recommended to operate your Dehumidifier below temperatures of 15.5°C (60°F) as this could

result in icing-up conditions of the evaporator coils, and minimize efficiency.

4) During ‘Dry’ mode when the internal reservoir is

full, the unit will alarm (beep) for 20 seconds and the water full red indicator light will illuminate and the water full icon in the control panel will begin to flash continuously . At this time dehumidification will stop immediately. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal). To return to normal operation:

beneath the lowest drain ports located on

the

bottom rear of the unit (see Fig. D1, pg. 5);

3. Open the drains by unscrewing their drain

caps;

4. Wait until all the water inside the internal

reservoir is emptied, then reattach the drain

caps;

5. Properly dispose of the water in the pan;

6. Switch the unit on.

It may take 3-5 minutes for the compressor to

re-start. This is normal.

CAUTION

During air conditioning and dehumidifying modes, if the compressor cycle is interupted (unplugged, power failure,etc.) and reinstated immediately thereafter, (within 3-5 minutes) a “compressor protection circuit” is automatically self-activated. The compressor cannot operate during “compressor protection” mode (this is normal), and it may take 3-5 minutes before the “protection circuit” self-deactivates.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE UNIT (COMPRESSOR) DURING THIS PERIOD.

Upon re-starting the unit (turn switch on) all program information(i.e. time, mode, fan speed, auto timed programs) will have to be re-programed.

IMPORTANT

If the unit will not be in use for a long period of time or is to be stored place a drip tray beneath the bottom drains (See Fig. 38) and remove the caps (one at a time) to manually release the water from the internal reservoir.
