USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours.

How the Dehumidifier Operates Automatic Defrost

Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated

dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses

on this coil and drains into a tank (or through

a hose and drain).

Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser

where it is heated and discharged out the top grille

into the room.

It is normal that the surrounding air to become slightly

warmer as the dehumidifier operates.

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the

compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue

to run until the frost disappears.

In defrosting mode, the fan motor will run,

normally the compressor will stop running.

Choosing a Location

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have

little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed

storage area, such as a closet, unless there is

adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.

Do not use outdoors.

This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential

applications only. This dehumidifier should not be

used for commercial or industrial applications.

Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor

strong enough to support the unit with a full tank

of water.

Allow at least 12 inches of air space around unit

for good air circulation except the air outlet must

be at least 40 inches from any obstruction.

Place the dehumidifier in an area where the

temperature will not below 5°C. Or the coils

can become covered with frost, which may

reduce performance.

Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage

of furnitures books or valuables.

Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent

moisture damage.

both hands when emptying.

NOTES:

The tank must be in place and securely

seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

Water Level

The dehumidifier will turn off automatically

when the tank is full, or when the tank is

removed or not replaced in the proper position.

The tank must be replaced in the correct position for

the unit to work. A light will show if the tank is not

replaced correctly.

Important: Do not use the hose if using the

water tank to collect water. When the hose

is connected, water will be drained out through

it onto floor instead of into the tank.

Do not remove the tank while the unit

is in operation or it has just stopped.

Otherwise it may cause some water to

drip from the draining pan.

14mm inner diameter hose.

1) Remove the continuous drain cap 1by turning

it anti clockwise then remove the rubber

stopper 2 from the spout.

2) Turn the drain connector clockwise to the spout.

3) Insert the drainage hose into the drain connector.

×× ×

ATTENTION: When using continuous drainage option,

place dehumidifier on a level surface and make sure

the hose is clear of any obstructions and is directed

downwards. Press down the drain cap so it rests on top of

the hose.

Avoid placing dehumidifier on an uneven surface and

improper hose installation as it may result in the unit

shutting off. Empty water tank if shut off occurs,

then check dehumidifier location and hose for proper

setup.
