CONTROL PLATE DESCRIPTION

OPERATION INSTRUCTION

Starting the unit

Allow the unit to stand upright for 24hrs to let the compressor stabilize

before first use or when transported.

1. Firstly, turn the humidity control switch to the “OFF” position.

2. Plug in the dehumidifier.

3. Turn on the humidity control switch (clockwise) and set it at the desired

humidity level, please refer to table in point 4 below (e.g. position”4 = 60%).

4. For assistance in drying clothes in a laundry/ utility room, please select

maximum dial position for continuous operation and maximum moisture

removal.

Turning off the unit

1. Turn the humidity control switch fully anticlockwise to the “OFF” position

and the power supply is cut off and the unit stops operating.

2. If the dehumidifier is not in use for a long time, please disconnect the power

cord plug from the supply outlet.

NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS

1. The dehumidifier will not operate if the humidity dial is set lower than the

ambient humidity e.g. room humidity 40% and dial setting 2 or 4. In other
words the higher the humidistat dial setting e.g. position 8 the dehumidifier
will attempt to dry the ambient humidity to 20% (RH) relative humidity.

2. When the water tank is full an automatic float switch shuts down the

product and the tank full LED illuminates. Remove the water storage tank
and empty its contents, carefully replace the empty water tank back in
position, the unit will now automatically restart operating.

3. The following table indicates the approximate relative humidity settings

against its related position number on the humidity control switch:

CONTROL SWITCH

POSITION NO.

HUMIDITY SETTING

Cont.

Continuous

running

﹪

The ideal position is around position 6- approximately 40% relative
humidity

The operational temperature range for this unit is 5-35°C. Please note the
effectiveness of the product reduces as the ambient temperature reduces.
For example in a room of 6

C- little if any moisture will be removed. The

product works on the principal that it requires a high ambient temperature
with warm air drawing over a very cold compressor creating water
droplets.

Other than on the case of note 2 above, where the dehumidifier does not
start, the operational light does not illuminate or the dehumidifier
intermittently stops for unknown reasons, please check the plug and
power supply for poor connection. If the plug and power supply are in
good condition, wait for 10 minutes and restart the unit (it can take about
10 minutes for the unit to reset). If the unit still does not start after 10
minutes, please contact your retailer or the manufacturer for repair.

When the dehumidifier is in operation, the running compressor will
produce heat. This is normal and may potentially raise the room
temperature.

When the product is defrosting, the defrost LED will illuminate. The
reason this happens is because the compressor gets very cold to
maximize moisture removal. The defrost function protects the compressor
from freezing up and avoid damage to the product.

DRAINAGE INSTRUCTION

Switch off before carrying out any of these

operations and leave for 3 minutes before switching
on again. The extracted water is collected by the
water tank (set up as supplied), or can be set up to
drain continuously using a PVC hose (not included)
connected to a drain outlet, the drain point must
be lower than the unit outlet (see details below).

USE OF WATER TANK:

When the tank full LED illuminates the tank is full, the compressor and the

fan will stop operation, please empty the water tank. Remove the water tank
as per Fig 01 and empty it. Gently refit the water tank into the unit in its
original position. Note, if the tank full LED remains on when the tank is
emptied please remove and re-fit the tank to reset the light.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

If you want to use this function, please pull out the water tank and plug a 9mm

internal diameter water pipe onto the “Water out
tube” (See Fig.02). Replace the water tank into the
unit, the unit will now operate while discharging the
extracted water through the free end of the fitted
pipe, Note, you must ensure that the free end of the
pipe is below the product outlet connection and that
the drain point is likewise lower than the unit outlet.

Filter Removal

•

To remove the filter you must first remove the

water tank as instructed above.

•

The filter can then be removed from its slot by
gripping the filter handle and sliding it down
and out of the back of the appliance as
indicated below.

• Every 2 weeks, remove the filter and clean it

with warm water, below 40°C. Allow it to dry
naturally and then replace by reversing the removal instruction above.

Care and Maintenance Instruction

To avoid the occurrence of vibration and noise the unit should not be
operated while located on any soft or uneven surface.

Never insert any foreign objects into the unit through its air inlet or outlet
to avoid hazard or unit failure.

During power off or when not in use for a long time, please disconnect
the product from the mains.

4. For a better dehumidifying effect, the areas to the front, rear and above

the unit should be clear and free from any obstacles which will block the

air flow of the unit. Do not block any air inlet or outlet grilles – keep clear

of hanging drapes, curtains and furnishings –

DO NOT COVER, as

specified under safety information section a clearance of 50cm

should be maintained all around the appliance when it is in use.

5. Every 2 weeks, remove the air filter and clean it with warm water, below

40°C. Allow it to dry naturally and then replace by reversing the removal

instruction above.
