HUMIDITY CONTROL

1. When the rooms humidity value is 3% lower than the set humidity on the machine, the compressor will shut down, the fan will delay for 3 minutes and shut down; and when it’s 3% higher than the humidity value set on the machine, both the fan and compressor will operate.
2. When the humidity is set at the minimum value, the machines default is to enter the continuous dehumidifying mode.
3. Upon fault of the humidity sensor, it turns to the continuous dehumidifying mode.
4. Upon fault of the coil sensor, it turns to the timing defrosting mode (See the defrosting mode).
5. When it’s shut down, the fan will run for 10 seconds.

PROTECTION FUNCTION

1. Once shut down, the compressor will take 3 minutes to start. Quick start is available for the first power-on.
2. Full water protection: When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier automatically shuts down and enters the standby state, the Power off memory: For abrupt power outage or accidental unplugging, the system will automatically return to the operating state right before the ‘incident’, and continue at that state for the next power-on.
3. Full water protection: When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier automatically shuts down and enters the standby state, the indicator light “Full Water” on and buzzer alarms.

remains.

1. If the said methods still fail to eliminate the above problems, please directly contact the manufacturer or agents. DO NOT disassemble the dehumidifier, contact Sealey for repairs.
2. It’s normal to hear the sound of the circulation of refrigerant when the dehumidifier runs.
3. It’s normal for the air vent to blow warm air.
4. INFORMATION FOR THE USER:
5. As a precision part, the humidity sensor may be damaged when used in environment filled with strong corrosive gas and heavy dust.
6. As the dehumidifier is non-resistant against explosion, it’s forbidden to be used in environment of special requirements such as that filled with combustible/explosive gas, dust, chemicals or biological products.
7. Damage caused to the dehumidifier by use in said environment will void the warranty.
8. As water may be discharged from the machine after a certain amount of use, attention shall be paid to managing this water.
9. To minimize faults and maximize the lifetime, press the buttons gently.
10. The deviation between the humidity shown on the sensor and the actual humidity is normal, due to impact by the location, environment and temperature. 6.5.7. Since the cooled air is dried by the condenser before being discharged during operation of the dehumidifier, it’s normal for the air discharged to be hotter than the environment.
11. Since the dehumidifying effect is associated with the temperature and humidity of the environment, the higher the temperature and humidity of the environment, normally the greater the dehumidifying effect; while the lower the temperature and humidity of the environment, typically the lower the dehumidifying effect.
