1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices.
A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual
Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not
protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey
dealer. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and the
safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified
electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the
power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be
used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond
the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only. To
rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket
with your electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.

3. OPERATION
Compact, efficient, portable unit that extracts up to 10 litres of water per day. Removes excess moisture from air to prevent build-up of
mildew and mould. Auto-defrost function and adjustable air outlet. Refrigerant is environmentally friendly R134a.
Efficiency of the dehumidifier is influenced by the air outside the room. To operate efficiently, avoid opening and closing the windows and
doors to the room.
For best performance, operate the dehumidifier within the usable operating temperature. For safety purposes, the dehumidifying operation
will stop automatically - when the ambient temperature is higher than approximately 35°C.
Ensure that free space around the dehumidifier is kept at all times. Minimum distances of 20cm to the front, sides and rear, and 30cm above
the unit are required.
3.1. Dehumidifying
3.1.1. Set the air outlet as required.
3.1.2. Press the On/Off switch to turn unit on. Power on light will
illuminate and dehumidifying will commence.
3.1.3. Select the high or low fan speed as required with the selector
switch and the humidity extraction required with the room humidity
selector switch.
Note! When set to 'MIN' the dehumidifier extracts the most humidity
from the atmosphere, resulting in less humidity present in the
room. When set to 'MAX', less humdity is extracted from the
atmosphere, resulting in more humidity present in the room.
3.1.4. The dehumidifying operation will stop automatically when humidity
is below approximately 60%.
3.2. Defrosting Operation
The evaporator within the dehumidifier frosts during the
dehumidifying operation at a room temperature of approximately
15°C or less. To remove frost, the defrosting device works
automatically at an interval of approximately every 30 minutes
for a duration of approximately 5 minutes. Both the
dehumidifying function and the air cleaning function stop during
the defrosting operation. Do not disconnect the plug or turn off the
unit during the defrosting operation.
Note: This dehumidifier does not have a cooling function, it
produces heat during the operation and room temperature will
rise. The temperature will rise while it is operated in a cupboard,
or similar. Furthermore, room temperature will rise because doors
and windows are closed and heat is produced from other
appliances in the room and from sun radiation.
4. MAINTENANCE
4.1. Emptying the Water Collection Tank
During the dehumidifying operation, water is collected in the
water collection tank. When the tank is full of water, the
dehumidifier stops operating automatically and the water tank
full indicator illuminates. The unit will not restart until the water
collection tank has been emptied.
4.1.1. Remove water collection tank from the dehumidifier by pulling
it gently outwards by holding the sides of the tank (fig.3).
4.1.2. Hold the tank by the handle and carry it carefully to a suitable
emptying point, tilt the tank and slowly empty the water out of the
tank. DO NOT use the water for any other purpose.
4.1.3. Refit the tank in the dehumidifier, making sure it is fitted in place
correctly, the unit will not restart if it is not fitted properly.
