socket and is switched on.

2. Check with some other electrical device that
the wall socket is “live”. If it is not, contact a
qualified electrician.

3. Check the fuse in the plug. If you replace the
fuse, refit with a 13Amp fuse.

4. Check the humidistat control is turned
clockwise.

5. Check that the water container is not full.

Should none of the above remedies work, then
disconnect from the mains. Contact the help line on

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your own plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must
be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter E or by the Earth Symbol or
coloured Green and Yellow. The wire which is
coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter N or
coloured Black. The wire which is coloured Brown
must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured Red.
You must dispose of the non rewireable plug once it
has been removed from the flexible cord. It is
dangerous to attempt to insert the plug into any
electrical socket elsewhere in the house. If the
flexible cord becomes damaged it must be replaced
by an identical cord.

CHANGING THE FUSE

Only 13 Amp fuses that are ASTA approved to
BS1362 should be used.
The fuse cover must be refitted after replacement
of the fuse. In the event of the fuse cover being lost
or damaged, the plug must not be used until a
replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers,
which must be coloured BLACK, are obtainable
from electrical retailers.

This appliance complies with the suppression
requirements of the EEC direction 82/199/EEC as
embodied in BS800:1988.

Your Ebac Dehumidifier is packed in a
plastic wrapper – please ensure that it is
disposed of safely and where it will not
be a danger to children

SWITCHING ON YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

Before connecting it to the mains you should
ensure that the humidistat is turned fully anti­clockwise (fig A). Once connected to the
mains power, the humidistat control should
be turned clockwise until you hear the unit
operate (fig B)
To protect the compressor, you should allow
5 minutes between switching the dehumidifier
off and on again.

DEFROST OPERATION

At certain temperatures, the water taken
freezes onto the pipes inside your
dehumidifier and therefore needs to be
defrosted. This model features an automatic
defrost which will clear any ice build up.

OPERATING THE HUMIDISTAT

The humidistat works in a similar way to a
central heating thermostat, but instead of
measuring temperature, it measures the
amount of moisture in the air. You may select
the level of moisture you require (known as
Relative Humidity) and the unit will operate to
achieve that level and then switch off.
As a general guide, the higher the setting the
lower the Relative Humidity will be before the
machine switches off. Therefore the machine
will operate longer to achieve this.
If the dehumidifier switches off and drying is
not complete it is possible that the humidistat
setting is too low and may need increasing
(fig C.). Conversely, if you no longer have
condensation and the unit is still operating,
then the humidistat setting may need
reducing (fig D.)

INTRODUCTION

Your Ebac Heavy Duty Dehumidifier is
designed to help dry flooded or damp areas.
Ideal where natural drying is just too slow.
Drying with a dehumidifier enables fast drying
without problems assosiated with heat drying
plaster, etc can crack.

HOW YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your dehumidifier draws in the moist air,
cooling it to a temperature where excess
moisture will condense, thereby removing the
excess moisture. This in turn dries anything in
the immediate area which is damp. The
moisture is collected in the water container.
The air is rewarmed and passed back
approximately 2°C warmer.

OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

The amount of moisture removed by your
dehumidifier will vary according to the
conditions in which it is operating. For
example, operating in very cold temperatures
will reduce water extraction levels.
The time taken to dry an area will depend on
the size of area to be dried and level of
moisture to begin with. To achieve maximum
benefit form your dehumidifier, you should
ensure :­a) It is permanently connected to the mains

and controlled via the Humidistat

b) It is not switched off for long periods of

time due to an incorrect setting of the
Humidistat or because the container is
full.

c) Door to areas not to be dried are kept

closed.

d) External doors and windows are kept

closed as much as possible.

CONTROLS

Your dehumidifier is fitted with an adjustable
humidistat and container full indicator.

EMPTYING THE WATER CONTAINER

When the water container is full an internal
float mechanism will switch the unit off. This
is indicated by the illumination of the “full”
light on the front control panel. The water
container is at the rear of the unit. To empty
the container, carefully remove the water
container. When emptied replace

PERMANENT DRAINAGE

When your dehumidifier is to be used
constantly in one area, it can be fitted to drain
continuously, eliminating the need to empty
the water container. Ideal when the property
is to be left unoccupied.
For this you will need a length of PVC tubing,
18mm external diameter X 12mm internal
diameter and a hose clip of the same size.
Disconnect your dehumidifier from the power
supply before fitting permanent drainage.
Remove the water container and pass the
tube through the hole in the base of the
dehumidifier. Place the hose clip on the
tubing and push the tubing over the outlet on
the underside of the drain tray and fasten the
hose clip. DO NOT over tighten the clip or it
may crack the drain tray. The water container
should not be replaced whilst the drainage kit
is in use.

USE OF PERMANENT DRAINAGE

When in use tubing should be run to a
suitable drainage point, ensuring that the tube
doesn’t rise above the drain tray, otherwise
flooding may occur.
