Positioning the unit
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or
no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area,
such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation
of air in and out of the area.
•
Do not use outdoors.
•
This dehumidifer is intended of indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
•
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
•
Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit
for good air circulation.
•
Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not
fall below 50C(410F). The coils can become covered with
frost at temperatures below 5°C(41 °F), which may reduce
performance.
•
Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator.
Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books
•
or valuables are stored.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
•
moisture damage.
•
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
•
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the room.

If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again quickly, allow approximately
three minutes for the correct operation to resume.
•
Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet, which is also being used for other electrical appliances.
•
Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet.
•
Plug the unit into a 11 5V- 60HzJ220-240V 50Hz(Refer to the nameplate located on the side/rear of the unit ) electrical

When the bucket is full, the unit will automatically stop
running, and the Full indicator light will illuminate.
•
Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right handles
securely, and carefully pull out straight so water does
not spill. Do not put the bucket on the floor because the
bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will
fall and cause the water to spill.
