Introduction
The first time you plug in your new Ebac dehumidifier, you'll begin to realise the difference it will
make to your home. You'll be amazed at just how much water this quiet, yet powerful unit extracts
and stores in its container. It'll get you thinking where it all comes from and where it's been going all
these years.
Incredibly, the average family produces 20 pints/12 litres of moisture a day. However, that's one
fact you needn't worry about now.
Your Ebac dehumidifier is designed to cope with everything you do that adds even more moisture to
the British climate. Everything from showering to washing up, boiling a kettle to breathing – they all
add moisture to the air.
This brochure will help you get the very best out of your Ebac and not only protect your home from
the damaging effects of condensation and damp, but also improve the quality of your air.
It's surprising what an Ebac can do for your home
There's a lot more to your Ebac dehumidifier than preventing damp and condensation damage. It
could actually improve your health.
Damp conditions provide the ideal breeding ground for dust mites. So, if you suffer from an allergy
or asthma aggravated by dust mites, lower humidity levels may help. Also, sufferers of arthritis,
bronchitis and rheumatism may also find relief from drier, warmer air.
Economy-wise, your Ebac dehumidifier costs typically 2p an hour to run. It can even lower your
heating bills, as moist air absorbs heat. This is then removed and channelled back into the
atmosphere to raise temperatures by up to 3°C. Plus, being light and portable, every room in the
house can benefit too.
Important
Your Ebac 2000 is packed in a plastic wrapping; please ensure that it is disposed of safely where it
will not be a danger to children.
Before operation
1. Stand your dehumidifier upright for at least 2 hours prior to operating.
2. Open the water container door, remove the water container - replace and close the door.
This will reset the sensors which may have been activated during transit.
Getting the most from your Ebac 2000
1. Ensure it is always connected to the mains.
2. Ensure your Ebac 2000 Smart Control does not switch off for long periods of time due to an
incorrect humidistat setting (if activated).
3. Ensure internal doors are kept ajar where possible to allow air circulation.
4. Ensure external doors and windows are kept closed as much as possible. This also saves
wasting heat from your home.
5. Ensure the unit is positioned on a flat, even surface.
Positioning your Ebac 2000
Your Ebac 2000 Smart Control is designed to be used wherever you have a condensation or
dampness problem and can be easily moved to the desired location. To ensure that you get the
best service from your Ebac 2000 Smart Control do not place the dehumidifier next to a radiator or
other heat source as this will reduce the performance of your dehumidifier.

Smart Control
Your dehumidifier is fitted with both a traditional humidistat and a patented intelligent Smart Control
System. We recommend that all customers use the intelligent system, which automatically adjusts
the running pattern of your Ebac according to changes in the weather and your lifestyle.
To activate Smart
To activate Smart Control, press the mode button until AUTO is displayed on the control panel. The
unit should start in this mode when connected to the mains. The unit will now automatically adjust
itself to work at the times needed to maintain the ideal conditions for your home. After starting to
use the unit for the first time it normally takes 2-4 weeks to get the humidity in your home under
control.
Once signs of excess moisture have gone we would recommend that you try switching to Economy
mode by pressing the mode button until AUTO and ECON are displayed on the control panel. The
unit will still work using the Smart Control but for less time each day.
NOTE: Economy mode may not be suitable for all homes and /or at certain times of the year. If
signs of excess humidity return switch off economy by pressing the mode button until the control
panel shows AUTO without ECON being lit.
Fan speed control
Adjusting the fan speed
You may wish to change the fan speed of your Ebac from time to time. Using the Normal setting will
remove more moisture from the air compared to the Quiet setting thereby improving efficiency.
When switched on, your dehumidifier will default to level 1.
Pressing the fan speed button will scroll through the settings below, after standby mode it will return
to setting 1.
Setting Function
1 Low setting for quiet operation
2 Normal setting
3 Continuous Fan Mode Quiet
4 Continuous Fan Mode Normal
5 Standby position
The speed of the fan is indicated by the green fan symbol - the higher the setting the faster this
symbol rotates.
Air Cleaning: When fitted with one of our high performance filters, your dehumidifier may also be
used as an air cleaner. To do this, press the Fan speed/Air cleaning button until the fan symbol
turns yellow. Pressing the Fan speed/Air cleaning button again will increase the Fan speed for
faster air filtration.
Standby: When selected, the dehumidifier will not operate. This allows the dehumidifier to be
switched off without adjusting the humidistat setting. Standby mode is indicated by the power -on
light turning yellow.
Boost Control: The boost control on your Dehumidifier allows the setting of the humidistat or Smart
Control and fan speed to be overridden for a set period of time to maximise water extraction from
the air. This is ideal for laundry drying etc.
To select this function press the mode button until MAX flashes on the control panel. The unit will
now run on maximum fan speed and at full-power for a period of 8 hours. After this time the unit will
return to the settings you had prior to activation.
Note: As the mode button changes a number of functions, the settings remembered are those made
10 seconds prior to boost being activated.
