INTENDED USE
Your new Pingi Vida Dehumidifier (PVDS-1000EU) is suitable for dehumidifying enclosed indoor spaces.
The appliance is powered by the 9V AC-DC adapter that is supplied with the device. The power adapter
operates on 100-240V, 50/60Hz (mains electricity). Never try to connect the device or power adapter to other
power sources. Please always follow the safety instructions in this manual. Keep this instruction manual in
a safe place, so that it is available at all times. This product complies with regulatory, national and European
requirements. Never try to make technical modifications to this device. We do not accept liability for
accidents or damages resulting from failure to follow these operating and safety instructions.
FUNCTION AND APPLICATION
The Pingi Vida Dehumidifier (PVDS-1000EU) was developed as a compact dehumidifier that captures
excess moisture in indoor spaces. This product is ideally suited for unventilated indoor spaces. The captured
moisture is collected in the integrated tank.
BEFORE YOU START
Please carefully read the safety instructions on the front page of this manual before getting
started.
OPERATION
Powered on: The device is switched on by pressing the power button on the front of the device. The power
button will light blue. The blue tank light will also be activated. The appliance is now collecting humidity
from the ambient air.
Tank full: This appliance has an automatic shut-off function. When the tank is nearly full, the tank light will
change colour to red and the power button light will dim.
EMPTYING THE TANK
This device has a tank with a capacity of approximately 1000 ml. When the tank is nearly full, the appliance
will automatically shut off its dehumidifying functions and the tank light will change colour to red. Switch
off the appliance and carefully slide out the tank by pulling its handle. The small cap marked ‘DRAIN TANK’
located on top of the tank can now be removed. Empty the tank into, for example, a kitchen sink. After
emptying the tank, please hold it upside down for a moment to pour out any remaining water. After draining
the tank, it can be replaced. The device can now be switched back on.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The device can not be switched on. What can be the cause?
- Check if the AC-DC adapter is correctly installed.
- Check if the tank is correctly installed. Slide it out and push it back in.
I have emptied the tank, but the tank light is still red. What do I do?
- Please pull the tank out of the device. You will notice a white float in a cylindrical compartment located next to the
drainage cap. Please pour all water from this compartment each time you empty the tank.
- Check if the tank is correctly installed. Slide it out and push it back in.
- The float might be stuck. Slide out the tank and push down the cylinder on the upper right side of the tank.
My Vida (PVDS-1000EU) collects less than 250 ml of water per day. Is it defective?
No, it is likely fine. The performance of a dehumidifier depends on the amount of water in the air. The higher the air
temperature, the more water air can contain (relative humidity). At higher temperature levels the device needs to
work a lot harder, and it has to remove more moisture to decrease the relative humidity level. In a colder room, there
simply is less water to capture, and the tank will fill more slowly.
My Vida (PVDS-1000EU) does not seem to have very much effect yet. Is it broken?
- Is water being collected in the tank?
- This compact device was designed to gradually absorb moisture (max. 250 ml/day). Has sufficient time passed?
Enough time needs to pass to remove moisture already present in the enclosed space.
