INTRODUCTION

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

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.

SWITCHING ON YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Before connecting it to the mains you should ensure that the humidistat is turned fully anti-clockwise (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.

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.)

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.

USER MAINTENANCE

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.
