INTRODUCTION

The BD600 reduces humidity in enclosed structural
environments by removing water vapor from the air. With
proper use, the BD600 can help to dry out damp
structural materials, insulation, and contents, and
maintain a healthy level of humidity. Using the BD600
may also prevent secondary damage caused by high
humidity.

How the BD600 works

The BD600 refrigerant dehumidifier uses a fan to draw
moist air in and condenses it into water that collects in a
tray and drains out through an optional drain hose.

Features:

 Recessed handles for easy positioning in confined

spaces.

 Convenient 4 l collection tank with automatic shut-off

to prevent overflow.

 May be attached to drain hose (purchased

separately) for continuous operation.

 Quiet operation and low power consumption.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

Operating Features

Combined kWh and hour meter. Indicates the total

number of running hours and kilowatts consumed. The
meter cannot be reset.

Water full indicator. An indicator light will glow amber
when the collection container is full. Remove and empty
the basin, and replace it inside the unit.

Defrost mode. In colder temperatures, the unit may
automatically enter a “defrost mode” to reduce the build­up of frost on the evaporator coil inside the unit. When
the unit enters this mode, the compressor will stop
operating and the fan will continue to operate until any
frost has been thawed. No user intervention is required
during this operation. The unit will automatically resume
normal operation when the defrost operation is
completed.

Compressor protection function. In certain
circumstances, the unit may require a 3 minute rest
before restarting. If the unit does not operate when

you press the Start button, wait three minutes and
try again.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Position the unit. The unit should be placed on a firm,

level surface. To permit adequate airflow, provide at
least 30 cm of clearance around all sides of the unit.

Set up. Ensure that the collection basin is in place.
If using the drain hose, make sure it is properly placed

over the basin drain outlet nipple. Place the other end of
the drain hose in a suitable container or in a floor drain
at a level below the basin drain hose outlet. Make sure
there are no kinks or sharp bends in the drain hose.

1. Switch unit on. Press the power button. Unit will
begin operating.

2. Switch off. Press the power button again to turn the
unit off.

Operating Tips

The amount of humidity the BD600 can remove from the
air is dependent on airflow, temperature, and humidity.

Depending on these factors, the unit may need to
operate for several minutes before producing any
water in the collection container. Note that the unit
will remove very little water in excessively cold
(<5° C) or dry (<30% RH) conditions.

The unit should be operated only in temperatures
between 5°−32° C. Operating in temperatures above
below or above this range will produce very little water
and may possibly damage the machine.

Always place the unit in a level position. Operating or
storing the unit beyond 45° may damage the
compressor.

The unit will produce a small amount of heat during
operation. Temperatures in the treated area may rise
1°−3° C. This is normal.

Ensure adequate air flow through the unit at all times.
Clean the filter regularly, and keep the unit at least 30
