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.

Fig. D1

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.

DRY (Dehumidifier) Operating Instructions

NOTE: During dehumidifier mode, the exhaust hoses do not have to be vented outdoors but should remain attached to the unit. The drain hose must be installed during dehumidifying mode, (see ‘Direct Drain Instructions’ on pg. 5).

1)Press the I/O (on/off) key pad to switch on the unit.

2)Press the MODE key until the DRY symbol (Dehumidifying) appears in the display window. Each depression of the MODE key will advance to a different mode setting (Auto-Cool-Dry-Fan).

3)Press the appropriate (TEMP / TIMER ADJ) key to select a relative humidity setting between 35% ~ 90% RH (adjustable in increments of 5%)

For continuous (non-stop) dehumidifier operation: Press the (TEMP / TIMER ADJ) key pad until the symbol “- - “ appears in the display window. NOTE:

The compressor will not cycle off during “continuous” mode.

The set relative humidity level will flash in the display window for approximately 5 seconds then automatically revert back to display room ambient relative humidity conditions. NOTE: The set operating RH level must be programmed within the 5 second (flashing) condition. To view the “set” relative humidity program any time, press either of the TEMP/TIMER ADJ buttons.

NOTE: There is no fan speed adjustment during dehumidifying mode (the fan speed is factory set for “low”).

The blue (RUN) indicator light illuminates indicating dehumidifying mode is operational (there may be a slight delay of 10-30 seconds before the cycle begins, this is normal).

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:

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, 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.

10

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.
