EDV-4000 at a glance

EDV-4000 control panel

EDV-4000 unit setup

• Place the unit in an upright position on a stable, flat surface.

• Ensure the unit maintains a distance of 2’ (24 in.) away from walls, furniture, curtains or clothing. (Fig. A).

• Where to position your dehumidifier?
  For best results position the unit somewhere central like a landing or a hallway.
  As long as the doors are open, the excess moisture from all of the rooms in the house will flow naturally to the unit and be processed.

• Keep the unit running continuously in auto mode and it will decide how much drying is required using its humidity sensor to automatically choose between low and high fan speeds.

• Keep clothes at a safe distance (24 in.) from the air outlet.

To operate safely

EDV-4000 operating instructions

Powering Unit ON and OFF

• Connect the power plug to the appropriate electrical socket outlet.
• Press the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance ON. (Fig. C)

• Press the ON/OFF button again to turn the appliance OFF. (Fig. C)

NOTE: In the event of a power failure
Once the power is restored after a power failure, the appliance will continue to operate at the selected settings prior to the power failure. (This includes the dryer mode, swing function, and time remaining in timer mode. )

NOTE: After turning the appliance OFF
After turning the appliance OFF using the ON/OFF button, the fan will continue to run for a two-minute period. This is a normal procedure and helps to cool and protect the internal components. During the two minutes DO NOT remove the power plug from the electrical socket outlet; wait for the fan to stop running.

Operating Instructions

Auto Dry Mode

Press the “AUTO DRY” Key for automatic dehumidification.

MODE & DESCRIPTION

• AUTO

  • To keep the room at a comfortable Relative Humidity (RH) level
    The unit automatically keeps room humidity at 55-60% RH

• LOW

  • To run low fan speed
    The unit automatically dehumidifies in low fan speed and low noise.

• HIGH

  • Super dry mode to prevent dew
    The unit automatically keeps room humidity at 40-45% RH to prevent dew.

NOTE : There may be no difference between AUTO and LOW fan speeds

AUTO itself is not a fan speed but a target relative humidity set point that uses either the low or high fan speeds to reach it’s target of 55-60%RH. If the relative humidity of the room is close to or within this range then switching between LOW and AUTO will make no difference to the fan speed.

Dryer Mode

• Press the “DRYER MODE” Key for automatic dehumidification.

MODE & DESCRIPTION 

• SAVING

  • Suitable for summer to save power
    The unit automatically provides warm dry air to assist in clothes drying with low power.

• TURBO

  • Suitable in winter to dry clothes faster
    The unit automatically provides hot air to dry clothes faster with higher power.

Auto Swing Louver

• Press the SWING” Key to select air louver angle.

MODE & DESCRIPTION

Timer Mode

• Press the “TIMER” Key to select your desired running time (2,4 or 8 hours).
  The unit will automatically switch off at the end of the selected time period.
  As the time counts down the LED (4 or 2 hours) lights will indicate the time remaining.

• When no “TIMER” is set (the LED is off), the unit will run continuously if using with hose or the reservoir is already full.

Ionizer

Press the “ION” Key to tum the ionizer on and off. When the LED is on, the unit releases negative ions from the air outlet.

Additional notes

• The unit emits smell or odor
  • When you first use the unit and periodically afterward you might notice a smell coming from it. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material and is not a sign that it is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets.
  • The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odors from items such as cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room. This smell has been described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of a faulty unit.
• Amount of water collected
  • When you first use your dryer it will work harder to reduce the room humidity to its target of 55-60% RH on the “AUTO” setting. This is the time when it will produce the most water and need emptying most frequently. As the room becomes dryer, the unit collects less water and runs at a lower fan speed. This is normal. When the target relative humidity has been reached, the air coming out of the unit will not be heated and it will only be running in low fan mode. This is because there is no need for dehumidification at this point and the unit is sampling the air to check the current relative humidity to see if dehumidification is required.
  • If you find that you still have condensation on your windows, or you need to dry the air further, then use the High fan speed or Turbo Dryer mode, forcing the unit to dry the air upwards to 45%RH. It might be necessary if you have single-glazed windows or if the outside air temperature drops to freezing.

To empty reservoir

1. When the reservoir is full, the “FULL” LED indicator lights up and the unit stops in a few minutes.
2. Do not move the unit or remove the reservoir if the machine is still operating, water may leak, damage the unit, or cause an electric shock.
3. To remove the reservoir, pull out by gripping the bottom of the reservoir, and lift carefully.
4.  Remove the cover off the reservoir first, then pour the water out, clean the reservoir, and reinsert the reservoir cover to the correct position.

NOTE

• Clean the bucket with clean water if needed. Do not use solvent, abrasive or hot water.
• Do not remove or damage the float in the bucket, or the unit cannot work correctly.
• The bucket cover must be well-fitted in the correct position.
• The “FULL” Led lights if the bucket is not correctly restored in place.

To drain the water
Use the Eva-Dry drain hose (sold separately) with an inner diameter of 12mm for continuous drainage

1. Use a screwdriver to remove the knockout at the back.
2. Attach the tubing to the connector through the hole.
3. The tubing should be lead to the drain with no sharp bends.

NOTE

• The bucket must be in the correct position before inserting tubing.
• Remove the tubing before pulling out the bucket.
• Gravity-fed drainage (not pump)

Maintenance

Cleaning the unit

1. Turn off the unit, wait 2 minutes for the fan to stop and unplug from the power socket.
2. Clean the surface with a soft damp cloth.
3. Dry thoroughly with a towel after cleaning.
4. In order to avoid damage, do not wash the machine with water, or let water drip into the air inlet or outlet and is not a sign of a faulty units.

Cleaning the filter

If the filter is covered with dust, the airflow and the performance of the unit will be affected. It is recommended to check and clean the air filter every 30 days.

1. Clean the nano-sliver filter only with a vacuum cleaner or compressed air.
   (Washing or wetting will weaken the germicidal effect of the filter)

   Store upright in a cool dry place.

4. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

The following conditions are normal

1. The fan will continue to operate for approximately 2 minutes after powering down the unit.
2. The unit works within a room temperature range of approximately 34°F ~104°F. It may stop operation out of this range or when the air inlet or outlet is covered. (The “CHECK” LED light will illuminate)
3. The unit includes heater function that could increase the room temperature.

If your Dehumidifier stops working or the “CHECK” LED illuminates, please check the following items first:

When the unit fails to run

• Is power cord unplugged or the power off?
• Is the “FULL” light on? Is the bucket in the correct position? Check and replace the bucket.

When the performance seems poor

• Is there a door or window open?
• Is steam being generated in the room?
• Is the room too big?
• Is the filter dirty? Clean it. Refer to the filter cleaning instructions.
• Is the inlet or the output vents covered?
