SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN USING YOUR PORTABLE DEHUMIDIFIER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS: Read all instructions before using the appliance. Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard. Do not use an excessively wet cloth, industrial solvents, and oil-based products to clean this appliance.
INTRODUCTION How it Works When the dehumidifier is started, the fan begins to pull moisture -laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the top louver into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a drain bucket on the front of the dehumidifier. The appliance is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C), and 96°F (35°C).
PARTS AND CONTROLS OTHER ACCESSORIES: 1. 20“ Continuous/ Gravity Drain hose 2. Continuous/ 6.
PARTS AND CONTROLS 1. Mode Button Press to select desired mode: Comfort, Continuous, and Normal Continuous Mode Press the Mode Button to activate Continuous dehumidifying operation and the Continuous indicator light will illuminate when Continuous mode is in operation. In this mode, the unit will continue dehumidifying, regardless of the room’s humidity. The Humidity Control Buttons are automatically disabled and the compressor will not stop unless the drain bucket is full, or is removed.
PARTS AND CONTROLS 4. Power Button Press to turn the dehumidifier on and off 5 - 6. Up and Down Buttons Humidity Set Control Buttons The humidity level can be set within a range of 35%RH(Relative Humidity) to 85%RH in 5% increments. For lower humidity level, press the Down button and set to a lower RH percentage value. For higher humidity level, press the Up button and set to a higher RH percentage value.
PARTS AND CONTROLS Auto Defrost Indicator In the event frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost is evaporated. This happens when the appliance is operating in low temperatures (less than 53°F or 12°C), which affects the efficiency of the dehumidifier. When this happens, the Auto Defrost light will turn on and the machine will go into periodic defrost mode automatically. Defrost time may vary.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AIR FILTERS INSTALLATION Your Whynter portable dehumidifier is equipped with a 2 in 1 silver-coated washable pre-filter combo. This washable pre-filter removes large particles such as dust, pet hair and dander. The silver coating is designed to kill bacteria in the air and control the growth of microbes, such as viruses, fungi and spores. WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE DEHUMIDIFIER WITHOUT THE FILTER START OPERATION 1. Ensure that the appliance is connected to the power socket. 2.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS POSITIONING THE UNIT This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only and should not be used for commercial or industrial applications. Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, hard and level floor strong enough to support the appliance with a full bucket of water. Do not attempt to roll the appliance over objects. Avoid placing the appliance in an area where the temperature will fall below 53°F.
WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS Using a portable dehumidifier requires that collected water be emptied frequently. Draining water from this unit can be done in 2 different methods: 1. DRAIN BUCKET METHOD In order for water to be collected in the drain bucket, the continuous/gravity drain hose assembly should be removed from the drain outlet. Close the drain outlet with the rubber drain cover. 1. When the bucket is full, the Full indicator light will light.
WATER DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS 2. CONTINUOUS / GRAVITY DRAIN METHOD Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the 20” continuous/gravity drain hose to the continuous/gravity drain outlet. To use gravity to drain your portable dehumidifier, it must be installed on a level surface or at least 12 inches above the ground, on a sturdy table or shelf unit. When using the function of continuous/gravity drainage, your drain hose must be placed horizontally below the drainage hole.
MAINTENANCE Always turn off and unplug the dehumidifier before cleaning. 1. Cleaning the air grille and main unit Use a damp cloth to wrap the main unit or use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach, chemicals or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. Use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean the air intake and outlet grilles. 2.
