SAFTEY INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
This dehumidifier must not be used in rooms under the following conditions:
-Potentially explosive atmosphere
-Aggressive atmospheres
-Featuring a high concentration of solvents
-An extremely high ratio of dust
Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or around this unit, which could result in injury. Be sure the unit is inaccessible to children when not attended. This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Keep Unit Grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding plug and a grounded electrical outlet. A grounding plug is an essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire.
Protect Power Cord from Damage: Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord, as this may lead to electrical or fire hazards. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord of the same type and amperage rating.
Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able to deliver the appropriate voltages to the unit.
Handle with Care: Do not drop, throw or crash the dehumidifier. Rough treatment can damage the components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.
Run on Stable Surface: Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface, for example the floor or a strong counter, so that the dehumidifier cannot fall and cause injury.
Keep Out of Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing water, as this may create a risk of injury from electrical shock. Do not store or operate outdoors. If electrical wiring or components become wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit. If in doubt do not use the dehumidifier and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.
Keep Air Intakes Clear: Do not clog or block the air intakes by placing the dehumidifier too close to curtains, walls or anything that will restrict the air inlet. This may cause the unit to overheat and result in a fire or electrical hazard.
Keep Electrical Components Dry: Never allow water inside the dehumidifier’s electrical components. If these areas become wet for any reason, thoroughly dry them before using the dehumidifier. If in doubt, do not use the dehumidifier and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.
The operator must make the operating instruction available for the user and make sure that the user does understand the manual.

The MeacoDry ABC 10L, 12L and 20L dehumidifiers use the new R290 refrigerant gas to comply with European Environmental Directives. R290 is kinder to the environment and is part of attempts to reduce global warming as it has a low greenhouse effect (GWP).
When using the MeacoDry ABC 10L, 12L and 20L dehumidifiers you must take into account the following:
•This dehumidifier uses about 35 grams of R290 refrigerant in the 10L model, 45 grams of R290 refrigerant in the 12L model and 75 grams of R290 refrigerant in the 20L model, which is flammable. Therefore, it is part of a sealed system and must only be serviced by a trained Meaco engineer.
•Do not use or store this dehumidifier in a room smaller than 4m² to prevent a fire or explosion hazard if there is a leak of refrigerant and the gas comes into contact with an ignition source.
•Do not use in a room with any continuous sources of ignition, for example open flames, gas fires or hobs, cigarettes or any other sources of ignition.
•If the dehumidifier is installed, operated or stored in a non-ventilated area, then the room must be designed to prevent the accumulation of refrigerant leaks resulting in a risk of fire or explosion due to ignition of the refrigerant caused by electric heaters, cookers, or other sources of ignition.
•R290 refrigerant gas is odourless.
•Do not puncture either during the units working life or after. At the end of life dispose of following local recycling regulations.
•If there is any damage to the dehumidifier then do not use it and contact Meaco or your retailer.
•As with all dehumidifier, always keep upright and leave the dehumidifier standing upright for six hours before using it upon receipt.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in fire, damage to property, serious injury or potentially death.
Individuals who operate or work on the refrigerant circuit must have the appropriate certification issued by a national accredited organisation that ensures competence in handling flammable refrigerants according to a specific evaluation recognised by national associations in the industry and compliant with the latest R290 guidance.
Servicing should only be carried out by a Meaco approved engineer using original Meaco parts to prevent damage to the unit and potential injury to the engineer.

GENERAL ADVICE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
•Before putting your dehumidifier into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should be studied carefully.
•After receiving the dehumidifier, you should check the unit for any transport damage. In case of damage, you should inform the sender immediately.
•Store the dehumidifier box and packaging in a safe place – this will be required if the dehumidifier requires a service in the future. In order to save space, you can simply cut through the adhesive tape using a knife and fold up the cardboard box.
•Using a third-party switching device that turns the dehumidifier ON or OFF via the mains will invalidate the warranty as such devices damage the internal components.
DEHUMIDIFIER PRINCIPLES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
This dehumidifier is designed to reduce humidity from the air in a building or part of a building. The purpose is to help dry laundry, prevent condensation, mould, musty air and other issues associated with high relative humidity.
The time necessary for the dehumidifier to dry a room and reach the desired relative humidity depends on the environmental conditions prevailing within the room. For example, the number of air changes with outside, any sources of moisture, and the room temperature can all either speed up or slow down the dehumidification process.
The dehumidifier functions according to the condensation principles with heat recovery. The fan takes the humid air from the room, in and across a filter, and then through an evaporator. Here the air is cooled below dew point, so that the water vapour of the air forms a condensate on the coils, which flows into the internal container ready to be poured away. The cooled and dried air is heated again by a condenser. By recycling the room air through the dehumidifier repeatedly, the moisture content and relative humidity of the air is reduced.
INSTALLATION AND TRANSPORTATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
For installation and transportation, the following instructions must be considered:
Before using the dehumidifier, leave it to stand upright for six hours.
Plug the unit directly into a wall socket and switch on using the ON/OFF button on the unit.
Ensure there is more than 20cm of space around the unit to enable adequate air flow. The air inlet and the air outlet must not be covered whilst the dehumidifier is in operation.
Make sure the water tank is securely in place. The unit will not switch on unless the water tank is secure.
If you need to move the dehumidifier, it must be switched off by its ON/OFF switch on the unit. The mains plug must be removed from the socket and the water tank should be emptied.
For transportation, the dehumidifier should be secured on a level base only and must be prevented from rolling around.
The dehumidifier must always be transported vertically – if the dehumidifier has been in a horizontal position for any time over a few minutes, you must let it stand in the upright position for at least 30 minutes before operating. This allows the oil to drain back into the compressor.
