OPERATION
The following procedures should be followed to test the BD-150 for correct
operation:
1. After unpacking, examine all external features to confirm damage-
free shipment. Report all defects and damage at once. Connect the
power cable to a grounded 15 Amp electrical outlet. Connect a
12.5 mm inside diameter hose to the condensate outlet pipe
(positioned centrally, beneath the air inlet grille). Secure the hose
using a worm drive clip. The hose should at no point be raised
higher than the outlet pipe. Failure to observe this requirement will
result in flooding of the dehumidifier.
2. Check dehumidification process as follows:
A. Place unit on a level surface.
B. Press the start button, DO NOT hold in this button for more
than 1 second. The unit will run.
C. Check that air is being delivered through the front outlet grille
and the compressor is running.
D. After 15/20 minutes an even coating of ice should cover the
evaporator coil (temperature below 68°F), droplets of condensate
water should cover the evaporator coil (temperature above 68°F)
E. After 45 minutes +/- 5 minutes, the dehumidifier will operate in
the defrost mode and the evaporator coil will clear of any ice.
After 4 minutes +/- 1 minute, the dehumidifier unit will again
operate in the dehumidifier mode.
F. Allow the dehumidifier unit to run for a further 15/20 minutes and
observe the frosting/droplets on the evaporator coil.
If, after carrying out the above procedures, the unit does not appear to
function properly, refer to the Trouble Shooting section, which follows,
or contact the Factory Service Center.
