OPERATING YOUR
DEHUMIDIFIER
The amount of moisture removed by
your dehumidifier will vary according to
the conditions in which it is operating.
For example, operating in very cold
temperatures will reduce water
extraction levels.
The time taken to dry an area will
depend on th
e size of area to be dried
and level of moisture to begin with. To
achieve maximum benefit form your
dehumidifier, you should ensure :-
a)
It is permanently connected to the
mains and controlled via the
Humidistat
b)
It is not switched off for long periods
of t
ime due to an incorrect setting of
the Humidistat or because the
condensate pump is not working.
c)
Door to areas not to be dried are
kept closed.
d)
External doors and windows are kept
closed as much as possible.
CONTROLS
Your dehumidifier is fitted with an
a
djustable humidistat and fan speed
control.
SWITCHING ON YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Before connecting it to the mains you
should ensure that the humidistat is
turned fully clockwise. Once connected
to the mains power, the humidistat
control should be turned anti-
clockwise
until you hear the unit operate.
To protect the compressor, you should
allow 5 minutes between switching the
dehumidifier off and on again.
OPERATING THE HUMIDISTAT
The humidistat works in a similar way to
a central heatin
g thermostat, but instead
of measuring temperature, it measures
the amount of moisture in the air. You
may select the level of moisture you
require (known as Relative Humidity)
and the unit will operate to achieve that
level and then switch off.
As a gen
eral guide, the higher the
setting the lower the Relative Humidity
will be before the machine switches off.
Therefore the machine will operate
longer to achieve this.
If the dehumidifier switches off and
drying is not complete it is possible that
the humid
istat setting is too low and may
need increasing (turn clockwise).
Conversely, if you no longer have
condensation and the unit is still
operating, then the humidistat setting
may need reducing (turn anti-clockwise).
FAN SPEED CONTROL
The unit has a fan s
peed selection
switch which provides two fan speeds.
The higher fan speed will give a slightly
higher level of moisture extraction when
required. The lower fan speed allows the
unit to run in quite mode as required in
occupied premises, when the lower fan
speed is selected the extraction rate will
be slightly lower.
