Operating instructions

Your dehumidifi er features a removable Air Filter. This fi lter is located at the front of the unit (behind the air intake grill)
directly above the water tank compartment. The air fi lter plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/
dirt particles from the surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air fi lter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on
operating effi ciency. To maintain maximum operating effi ciency, the fi lter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2
weeks). More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air fi lter in place.
AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS:
1) Pull the air fi lter out gently (Fig. 3).
2) Clean the fi lter with a vacuum cleaner, or wash it with clean water and dry with a dry cloth.
3) Put the clean air fi lter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifi er.

MEMORY SETTING
Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure, the electronic circuit board
automatically defaults to the last program setting that was used. After the unit has stopped, it may take several minutes
before operating conditions resume.
DEFROST
When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 18°C (64.4°F)), the surface of the evaporator may
accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the effi ciency of the machine. When this happens the machine will go into
periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C (41°F). The time taken to defrost may vary.
If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the room temperature remains
below 5°C (41°) the machine should be switched off.
IMPORTANT
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) fl oat
switch system. Proper installation of the water tank is crucial in
maintaining reliable dehumidifi er operation.
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and, by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and
operation of the dehumidifi cation process.
When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced insider the cabinet, the fl oat switch actuator (inside the tank)
breaks contact with the safety swtich. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the
compressor and fan motor system, preventing moisture from being condensed.
