Operating Your Dehumidifier

Always choose a safe location for the dehumidifier, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please follow the below instructions.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the dehumidifier.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front and 150mm from the sides of the appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this dehumidifier with a programmer, separate timer, remote-control system or any other device that switches the dehumidifier on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the dehumidifier is covered or positioned incorrectly.
Ensure dehumidifier is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Once the dehumidifier is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always choose a safe location for the Dehumidifier, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. This appliance requires no installation, it should be used solely as a portable appliance. Leave the appliance to stand for one hour after transport or after the unit has been on its side, before connecting it to the mains supply to let the refrigerant settle.

1. The Power indicator light will illuminate when the unit is plugged in, regardless of whether the unit is operating or not.
2. Press Power button once to start operation. Press it again to stop operation.
3. Press Setting button to set the desired humidity level in the room, humidity can be set from 40% to 80% in 5% increments.

Note: When the environment humidity is lower than the selected humidity by 2%, the compressor will stop. The fan will continue to run to keep sensing the relative humidity.
When the environment humidity is equal to or higher than the selected humidity by 2%, the compressor will restart (once the 3-minute compressor protection time has elapsed).
TIMER

1. Press Timer button to set the timer.
2. Use the Timer button to program the time when the unit automatically turns itself off. Press the button, and it will be change from 00 to 24 in 1 hour increments.
3. The programmed time will be cancelled if the dehumidifier is switched to manual. The programmed time remains unchanged if the machine stops working due to the water tank being full or during defrosting. If you want to cancel the timer programming, press the button and adjust the time to 00.

FAN SPEED
Press Speed button to set the desired fan speed. It can be adjusted between high speed and low speed.
WHEN THE WATER CONTAINER IS FULL
A beep signal will sound 15 times and the tank full indicator light will illuminate.
The compressor will stop automatically. This will also stop the dehumidification process.
Empty the water container and replace it in the correct position. The Dehumidifier will continue dehumidifying when the compressor automatically restarts after approximately three minutes.
Note: Do not remove the float from the water tank. The water full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water level correctly without the float and water may leak from the water tank.
When replacing the drainage tank, press the tank firmly into place with both hands. If the tank is not positioned properly, the “TANK FULL” sensor will be activated, and the dehumidifier will not operate.
This Dehumidifier is designed to provide an optimum performance. It is not recommended to operate in ambient temperature exceeding 35°C or lower than 5°C.
Ensure all external windows and doors are closed before turning on the unit.
PERMANENT WATER DRAINAGE
It is possible to connect a drainage tube (not supplied) to the unit for permanent water drainage. If this option is desired, you will need to purchase a suitable tube from your local hardware retailer.
(Nouveau does not hold tubes as spare parts).
Connect the drainage hose to the drain spout. Ensure that the end of the hose is lower than the drain opening, otherwise the water will not drain and flooding may occur.
Also ensure the water tank is in position (in the unit) otherwise the continuous drainage will not operate.
Place the end of the drainage hose in a drainage outlet.
When you no longer wish to use the permanent water drainage, disconnect the drainage tube from the device.
