FEATURES The ECD range of dehumidifiers use compressor technology to extract water from the environment. Compressor dehumidifiers are ideal for environments which are heated during the winter months and maintain a temperature above 12-15⁰C, although these units can be used un temperatures down to 5⁰C. The dehumidifiers are easy to move around and are designed to extract unwanted humidity.
POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little effect. In positioning the dehumidifier please ensure circulation of air in not restricted around the unit. Allow at least 50 cm space to the sides and back of the unit, and 100cm to the front. This dehumidifier is designed only for indoor applications. Min 50cm Min 50cm Min 50cm Min 50cm Min 100cm Use in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. Close all doors, windows to create an effective operating environment.
ASSEMBLY The appliance must be fully assembled before plugging in. In order to prevent damage to the compressor, after assembly the unit must be left in an upright position for 2 hours before plugging in. ATTACHING THE WHEELS (EDC30 and EDC50) 1. Attach the Axle to the base of the appliance using the 4 bolts provided. 2. Fix the wheels onto each end of the axle using the supplied washers and nuts, ensuring that they are secure. 3. Turn the appliance upright, and stand on the wheels.
DRAINAGE OPTIONS INTERNAL WATER TANK (ECD30 and ECD50 ONLY) The 30L and 50L models are provided with a 7 Litre removeable water tank. When the water tank is full, the machine will automatically shut down and enter standby. The display will show the TANK FULL icon and an alarm will sound. Once the water tank has being emptied and put back into position, the dehumidifier can restart operation. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE This range of dehumidifiers can be set up for continuous drainage.

OPERATION • • The recommended humidity for a standard room is within the range of 50% to 70%, provided no special requirements are made. Although the desired humidity can be set as low as 10%, lower settings will act as a continuous mode, as they are unlikely to be achievable in the UK. WATER TANK FULL The dehumidifier will display the TANK FULL symbol, bleep, and enter standby mode when the water tank is full. To resume operation the water tank should be emptied and reinserted into the unit.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Always shut off the unit and unplug it from the mains before cleaning or performing any maintenance. When it is not in use for long periods, it is advisable to remove the plug from the power socket. Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible damage to the unit. CLEAN THE AIR INLET The Air-inlet may gather dust easily, please clean it often with a soft, damp cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING Issue Cause Solution Normal Operation When the unit is in dehumidifying mode it absorbs humid air from room and freezes it to reduce the humidity. During the cold cycle there should be cold air coming out of the unit During the defrost cycle hot dry air should be coming out of the outlet grill. Is the plug properly inserted in the socket? Insert the plug into the socket and turn the switch on.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Why doesn’t the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is low? This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 15⁰C. If the temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat the unit will not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated properties, boats or garages please check our desiccant range.
