Use the high speed to maintain maximum water removal. The lower speed can

used when

 

quieter operation is desired.

 

Pause Feature

Press “Pause” button to pause operation of dehumidifier for 1 hour.

In general, dehumidification is not usually needed during conditions of low room temperature. Optimal relative humidity is between 40 and 50%.

This electronic controlled unit will automatically resume operation after a power failure.

MAINTENANCE

To empty the Container:

When the condensate water container is full, the indicator lights up.

1.Turn the power off before removing container. Wait 3 minutes for any remaining water to drain into the condensate container.

2.Tilt the container forward then lift carefully by the handle.

3.Empty and gently re-insert the container.

Important:This water is not suitable for drinking.

Filter Cleaning

1.Turn the power off.

2.Use a vacuum cleaner attachment or brush to clean the front grille.

3.Remove the filter.

4.To clean the filter, wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and shake dry.

Cleaning is recommended monthly, or as conditions require.

Permanant Drain Installation (optional):

The condesate water can be removed directly from the unit to a drain through a garden hose with the included adapter.

1.Turn the power off before beginning work.

2.Use a screwdriver to remove the knock-out at the back of the unit. (Fig.7)

3.Slide the garden hose adapter (supplied) over the condensate drain through the knock-out hole. (Fig 8)

4.The garden hose should lead to a floor drain or other appropriate drain source. The garden hose should have no inclines or sharp bends. (Fig 8)

Troubleshooting

Unit Runs, But Very Little Water is Collected

The amount of water removed from the air depends on the relative humidity of the air and the capacity of the dehumidifier purchased. When the air feels damp (high relative humidity), more moisture will be removed and the container will fill up more rapidly. As the unit continues to remove moisture and reduce the humidity in the area, less water will be collected in the container.

This unit is equipped with a defrost control , which will automatically activate when needed. When in defrost mode the compressor will cycle on and off and the unit will make less water.

Room humidity is low (below 40%).

SERVICE/WARRANTY

Sounds

It is reassuring to know that your dehumidifier is functioning properly. These are some normal sounds which should not be a cause for concern:

Air rushing over air drying coils.

Hissing or thumping - refrigerant is flowing throughout the sealed system and may generate a “boiling” sound right after the compressor stops.

Compressor may “thump” as it cycles on and off.

Water dripping from coils onto the drainplate.

The humidistat control, compressor and fan “tick” as they turn on and off. Metal makes a similar sound when expanding or contracting.
