Positioning the unit
A dehumidier operating in one room will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed area, such as a closet, or other
room unless there is adequate ciculation of air in and out of the area.
Do not use outdoors.
•
This dehumidier is intended for indoor residential
•
applications only. This dehumidier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
Place the dehumidier on a smooth, level oor, strong
•
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Allow at least 8in (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 41 F (5 C). The coils can become
covered with frost at temperatures below 41 F (5 C),
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 dehumidier in a basement to help prevent
•
moisture damage.
The dehumidier must be operated in an enclosed
•
area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
•
to the space that you wish to dehumidify.
When using the unit
When rst using the dehumidier, operate the unit
•
continuously for 24 hours.
NOTE: After the rst 24 hours, should you wish to set
a desired humidity, you will need to take the unit off of
“Continuous”. You will not be able to select a desired
humidity while the unit is set on “Continuous” mode.
This unit is designed to operate with a working envi-
•
ronment between 41 F/5 C and 95 F/35 C.
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 dehumidier to a multiple socket
•
outlet, that is being used for other electrical
appliances.
Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy
•
access to an electrical outlet.
Plug the unit into an electrical outlet with a grounding
•
connection.
Make sure the water bucket is correctly tted or the
•
unit will not operate properly.
NOTE: Do not attempt to move the dehumidier when
there is water in the bucket. The unit may tip over and
spill water or damage unit.

Removing the collected water
1. Pull out the bucket a little.
2. Hold both sides of the bucket
with even strength, and pull it
out from the unit.
3. Pour the water out.

There are two ways to remove collected water.
1. Use the bucket
If the bucket is full when the unit is OFF, the unit will beep 8 times,
•
the full indicator light will ash and the digital display will show P2.
If the bucket is full when the unit is ON, the compressor will turn off
•
and the fan will turn off after 30 seconds. Then the unit will beep 8
times, the full indicator light will ash and the digitial diplay will show
P2.
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
tank on the oor because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. The
bucket will fall and cause the water to spill.
Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The bucket must be
•
in place securely for the dehumidier to operate.
The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its correct
•
position. The unit will take 3 minutes to restart.
NOTES:
When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of the
•
unit. Doing so may damage the product.
Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the unit. Improper
•
installation or failing to push it in securely may cause the unit not to
operate.
When you remove the bucket, be sure to wipe away any excess
•
moisture found inside the unit.
Operating The Unit
2. Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a oor drain by attaching the
unit with a water hose with a female threaded end (not included).
Install the drain hose onto the adaptor A (See Fig. 7, placed in the
•
bucket).
Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of the unit and
•
set aside. Remove bucket, then insert the drain hose through the
drain outlet of the unit and securely press it into the connector, on
the front of the unit. (See Fig. 9)
Tighten the adaptor A and the unit by using the two screws
•
provided, which can be found in the corner of the owner’s manual
packaging.
Install the female threaded end of the water hose into the adaptor A
•
(See Fig. 10) then lead the water hose to the oor drain or a suitable
drainage facility.
Make sure the hose is secure to avoid leakage.
•
Direct the hose down toward the drain, making sure that there are
•
no kinks that will stop the water ow.
Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of
•
the hose is level or down to let the water ow smoothly. Never let
drain hose go upward against gravity.
Place the bucket back in the unit and make sure that it is correctly
•
placed.
Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for
•
continuous draining to start.
To eliminate the use of the hose adaptor assembly and still drain
•
to the oor you may use tubing (5/8” O.D. 1/2” I.D.) in the length
required to go directly from the unit to oor drain.
NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being
used, remove the drain hose from the outlet and insert
drain plug. Failure to re-insert the drain plug/s will result
in unit malfunction and possible error codes.

Care And Maintenance
Fig. 11a
Care and cleaning of the dehumidier
Turn the dehumidier off and remove the plug from the
wall outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the Grill and Case
• Use a cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. Do
not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so
may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to
deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
•The air intake and outlet grills get soiled easily, so use a
vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria.
•Remove the bucket and clean in an area away from the
dehumidier to avoid splashing water onto/in the unit.
•Partially ll the bucket with clean water and add a small
amount of mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After
clean, the bucket must be sercurely in place for the
dehumidier to operate.
3. Clean the air lter
• Remove and clean the lter when the lter light illuminates.
For more frequent use, clean the lter more often.
•Remove the lter from the top of the unit (See Fig. 11a)
•Wash the lter with clean water, then dry thoroughly before
re-inserting the lter.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidier without a lter because dirt
and lint will clog the unit and reduce performance.
4. Prolonged Periods of Non-Use
•After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the
bucket.
•Clean the main unit, water bucket and air lter and let dry
completely.
•Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band on the unit (Fig.
12).
•Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
•Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
