SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit.
This appliance is only intended for use in an indoor domestic
environment. Any other use is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause fire, electrical shock or other injuries to person or damage to property.
Rating: This unit must only be connected to an AC 220-240V / 50 Hz earthed outlet. Installation must be in accordance with the regulations of the country where the unit is used.
If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical supply, have it checked and, if necessary, modified by a qualified electrician.
This dehumidifier has been tested and is safe to use. However, as with any electrical appliance – care must be taken during use.
Disconnect the power from the appliance before dismantling, assembling or cleaning.
Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.
Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through the guard.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. It is also not intended for use by those with a lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not leave children unsupervised with this appliance.
Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.
Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension
cord. If a power outlet is not available, one should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Never operate this appliance if the cord, power adapter or plug is damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched or exposed to sharp object/edges.
4
A damaged power supply cord should be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an authorized service representative. Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.
Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
Do not tilt the unit while in use. The unit is designed to work only in a vertical position. This dehumidifier must always be stored upright, otherwise irreparable damage may be caused.
This unit will still operate for approximatively 3-4 minute after pressing the power button to turn off. This is normal and ensures the desiccant wheel is drained of water. Avoid restarting the dehumidifier until 5 minutes have passed after being turned off.
Never use the mains plug as a switch to start or turn off the dehumidifier. Use the provided power button located on the control panel.
Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.
The appliance should not be installed in a laundry or wet room
where the humidity is higher than 85% RH. This unit should be operated at an ambient temperature between 1°C and 32°C.
Do not dry laundry directly above the unit. To prevent water from entering the dehumidifier, laundry should be placed at least 40 cm away from your dehumidifier.
Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires, fireplaces, etc.)
Desiccant dehumidifiers tend to absorb odours from the surrounding environment like cigarettes, cooking, cosmetics, new furniture etc. This smell is described as a burning or sour smell. This is released during operation as the zeolite disc is heated. This is not a sign of a fault and the smell will fade after usage.
Do not store or use gasoline, petrol, paint, solvents or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this dehumidifier or any other appliance. Do not use dehumidifiers where flammable gases or VOC can be released or accumulate.
5
ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
For maximum performance, the unit should be operated at least 20 cm away from walls
and 50 cm from other objects within the room.
Keep the filters and grills of the appliance clean. Under normal conditions, filters and grills should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Do not use the unit without the mesh air filter as this will allow dirt to gather inside the dehumidifier, which could invalidate the warranty.
A dirty filter will restrict the airflow into the machine, which will increase the resistance on the fan and could result in damage and might invalidate the warranty.
Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on the air quality. Vacuum and wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry them before placing them back in the unit.
NOTE: All information provided is for reference only. Products
specifications may change due to continuous product development.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
IF SET WHILE THE UNIT IS RUNNING
The number will represent the number of hours the unit will operate before turning off. This will not be affected if the unit enters defrost mode or the tank is emptied and
reinserted.
IF SET WHILE THE UNIT IS IN STANDBY The set number represents the period in hours after which the unit will start. To cancel
start / stop mode press the timer key again.
During operation the compressor will operate until the desired humidity is reached and then will stop. The economical low air purifier mode will continue to operate. The fan moves the air around the room ensuring all the air in the room is processed and the humidity is correctly measured.
To achieve drier air, or while drying laundry, put the unit in High mode and use the
down button to select a lower desired humidity (e.g. 35-45%).
POWER BUTTON: Press to turn the unit ON/OFF.
OSCILLATION BUTTON: Press once to make the louvre swing and press
again to lock at 45 degrees, press again to lock at 90 degrees. Do not operate the unit if the self-opening louvers do not open on power on.
TIMER: Press the timer button, then use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the duration of the timer (1-24 hours, START/STOP timer)
UP AND DOWN BUTTONS: During the High or Low modes when the unit is displaying the current relative humidity, these buttons can be used to adjust the desired humidity level. The desired relative humidity can be set
between 35 and 80% in 5% increments.
SMART MODE: This is designed for maximum convenience and maintains the ideal domestic environment humidity level of 50-55% while saving electricity. This is the default mode and is recommended for most
users.
POWER
11
LAUNDRY MODE
When drying clothes, it is advised for the dehumidifier to operate continuously with maximum water extraction until the water tank is full. Set the unit to the High mode, and set the desired humidity level between 35%-50%. 35% is very dry and is hardly achievable in a UK domestic environment. As such the unit will work until the water tank is full when set to 35%. Set the louvres to swing mode or to 45 degrees directing the airflow onto the clothes. Do not place clothes directly over any of the vents on the dehumidifier. Make sure that there is nothing blocking the hot air exhaust air flow and
for best results place the laundry within 1.5 meters of the dehumidifier.
NOTES
If a permanent drainage pipe is fitted the unit will not stop operating. Setting the
desired humidity to around 35% is good for laundry mode, a quick drying boost, or in emergencies. It is not recommended for long normal operation in a domestic or office
environment.
To allow more moisture in the air, press the up button and set to a higher desired
humidity (e.g. 60-70%).
We recommend setting the Humidity to 50-55%. This is great for domestic operation
and dry storage
Setting the humidity to 60% is great for personal comfort and applications where 50%
RH is considered too dry
Setting the humidity to 70% is ideal for unoccupied properties or where an
economical run is needed without the need to reduce the humidity further.

OTHER FEATURES AND INDICATORS
TANK FULL LIGHT
When the water tank is full, removed or incorrectly inserted the unit will stop dehumidifying, the red tank full light will illuminate and the unit will beep. Empty the tank and reinsert it correctly to resume operation.
AUTO DEFROST
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the unit will go in to defrost mode. Following completion of the defrost mode, the unit will return to the previously operating settings.
When the unit is running in a room with a temperature between 5
o
C and 12oC, it will
enter defrost mode roughly every 30 minutes.
When the unit is running in a room with a temperature between 12
o
C and 20oC, it will
enter the defrost mode roughly every 45 minutes.
HUMIDISTAT CONTROL AND FAN/COMPRESSOR OPERATION
When the humidity of the room is 2% lower than the desired humidity the compressor
will turn off automatically but the fan will continue to operate to ensure that the air within the room is not stale. The unit will use only a minimal amount of energy in fan mode.
When the humidity of the room is equal to or higher than the desired humidity the
compressor will restart after a 3 minutes delay to protect the compressor.
AUTO-RESTART (on some models)
If the unit stops unexpectedly due to the power cut, it will restart with the previous function selected automatically when the power resumes, and the 3-minute compressor protection has elapsed.
POWER
After the unit has stopped, to protect the compressor it is not recommended to resume
operation for at least 10 minutes. Operation can resume after this period lapses. When the unit is restarted there is a 3 minutes delay before compressor will start.
LIGHTWEIGHT PORTABLE DESIGN ON CASTORS
The dehumidifier is built to be compact and lightweight. The castors on the bottom of the unit make it easy to move from room to room.
Your dehumidifier contains an advanced micro-CPU controlled device which is capable
of self-diagnostics. The LCD display may also show the error and protections codes.
13
POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little effect. When positioning the dehumidifier
please ensure circulation of air is not restricted around the unit. Allow at least 20 cm of space around the
unit. This dehumidifier is designed only for indoor residential or small office applications and any commercial or industrial use will invalidate the warranty.
Use in an enclosed area for maximum
efficiency. Close all doors and windows to create an effective operating environment.
Do not use outdoors.
Your electriQ dehumidifier will begin to
protect your space from the harmful effects of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on.
The dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw
this moist air towards it from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning
the dehumidifier there and moving it to a more central location at a later date. For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors and windows kept closed. Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a radiator or other heat source.
When positioning your electriQ dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed clear of any
obstacle that may limit the air movement. Place the dehumidifier on a flat dry surface.
NOTE: Do not force castors to move over carpet or uneven surfaces, or move the unit
with water in the tank as it may tip over and spill water.
14
WATER DRAINAGE
When the water tank is full, the unit will stop automatically. When this happens the TANK FULL red light will show on the control panel, and the unit will bleep.
There are two ways to dispense collected water. It can be either collected within the internal
tank or expelled through a drainage hose (not supplied) using continuous drainage.
USE THE TANK
When the tank is full, the unit will automatically stop running, and the Tank Full indicator light will flash. Grip the tank by its handle securely, and carefully pull out. Empty the water tank and reinsert it into the dehumidifier. The tank must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate again. The dehumidifier will re-start when the tank is restored to its correct position.
NOTES:
Do not remove the water tank immediately after the unit stops. Please wait a while to avoid the water dripping into the unit and causing damage.
Only empty the water tank when it is full or before moving or storing the unit.
Do not rest the tank on the floor because the bottom of the tank could be uneven
and tank may fall and cause the water to spill.
When you remove the tank, do not touch sensors or any parts which are situated behind tank. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the tank gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it securely into place may cause the unit not to operate.
Do not remove or damage the float switch in the water-tank, otherwise the machine will stop working.
Please make sure the water tank cover is put back into place correctly before the water tank is reinserted.
If the water-tank is inserted incorrectly, the tank full indicator will flash. Remove the water tank and reinsert to turn the indicator off and resume normal use.
At all times, avoid water entering the unit. It may cause an electrical hazard and damage the unit.
15
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
This dehumidifier has a continuous drain hole that can be connected to a plastic pipe with a 15 mm inner diameter (Not Supplied). Water can be automatically plumbed in or drained into a sink, a larger receptacle or through the wall into an outside drain. Please follow the steps below to set your unit up for continuous drainage.
1. Cut off the cover for the continuous drain on the back of the unit.
2. Pull out the water tank and connect a water tube of inner diameter 15mm to the drain connector, and ensure the connection is tight * Please note, the water tube is not supplied with the unit.
3. Return the water tank back into position within the unit.
This unit uses gravity fall to dispose water hence the drain should be lower than the dehumidifier water outlet. Be sure to run the water pipe downward and let the water flow out smoothly. Do not kink or bend the pipe.
NOTES:
When the continuous drain feature is not being used, reverse the pipe
installation, to start the water collecting in the water tank.
The permanent drain can be used in conjunction with a water pump (e.g.
when draining from a cellar) to lift the water upwards.

26
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always shut off the unit and unplug it from the mains before cleaning or performing any
maintenance. When it is not in use for long periods, it is advisable to remove the plug from the power socket. Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit.
FILTER CLEANING
The Air-inlet may gather dust easily, please clean it often with a soft,
damp cloth. If the filter is covered by dust, the airflow and the performance of the unit will be affected, it may even cause damage to the unit. We recommend that you regularly clean the filters. The dehumidifier must be disconnected from the socket before maintenance and the filters must be allowed to fully dry before re use.
1. Remove the filters from the unit, and tap the dust away.
2. Clean the carbon (Optional) and the mesh filter with a vacuum cleaner or soft-brush.
3. If dirt and grease is accumulated wash the mesh filter in hot soapy water.
4. Replace the filters in position as shown in the diagram.
Note: Never use the unit without the antibacterial mesh dust filter. The active carbon filter is optional and should be replaced if necessary after 1-1 ½ years of usage.
CLEAN THE GRILLE AND CASE
Use water and a mild detergent to clean the washable mesh filters.
Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock and can lead to the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or soft brush to clean. Wipe the dehumidifier body with a soft damp cloth or kitchen towel.
CLEAN THE WATER TANK
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent growth of mould, mildew and bacteria.
Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around and than empty the tank and rinse. NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying the tank must be reinserted securely into dehumidifier in order to restart operation.
END OF SEASON MAINTENANCE
Empty and clean the water tank. Clean the unit and the filters as per cleaning procedure above. Coil the power cord on the special cord storage rest at the back of the unit. Cover the unit and keep it in a dry place.
POWER CORD MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
If the power cord is damaged, it could cause a short circuit or become a fire risk. Please
avoid pulling the cord, twisting or pressing it and keep it away from pets. If the power cord is damaged, power the unit off and unplug it immediately. Contact an electrician or service centre for repairs; do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why doesn't the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is low?
This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 15oC. If the temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat the unit will not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated properties, boats or garages please check our desiccant range.
Why doesn't the unit work /or stops suddenly?
The water tank may be full or displaced. To rectify: empty the tank and carefully place the tank back in the unit. Also, the unit may be running in dehumidifying mode with a low room temperature. Please check if the room temperature is lower than 5oC. If so, the unit will stop working while in dehumidifying mode. (unit may be defrosting). The ambient operating range is between 5oC and 35oC with a relative humidity ranging from 30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between 15oC and 32oC.
Sometimes cold and/or hot air comes out from the air outlet grill, why? When the unit is in dehumidifying mode it absorbs humid air from room and freezes it to reduce the humidity. During the cold cycle there should be cold air coming out of the unit During the hot cycle hot dry air should be coming out of the outlet grill.
