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 200mm from all 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.
WARNING: Never leave this dehumidifier unattended.
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 and switch on.
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.
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.
Ensure all external windows and doors are closed before turning on the unit.
Ensure that the water container is positioned correctly.
DEHUMIDIFIER CONTROL PANEL
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPEN THE AIR OUTLET LOUVRE BEFORE TURNING ON
POWER
- Plug into power socket and then press the POWER button to turn on the unit.
- The machine will start up automatically and the unit is set to constant dehumidification.
- Press the POWER button once to start operation. Press it again to stop operation.
HUMIDITY SETTING
- Press the “HUMID” button to set desired humidity from 40%→50%→60%→CO.
- CO is continuous dehumidification, the dehumidifier will try and extract all moisture from the air.
- When the humidity drops to the set humidity, the machine will stop automatically.
E.g. In the dehumidification operation:
Set the humidity level to 40%. When the appliance detects that the current
environment humidity is higher than or equal to 42%RH, the dehumidifier will
start to dehumidify. When the appliance detects that the current environment
humidity is less than or equal to 38%RH, the dehumidification process will
stop until the RH goes back to 42% or more.
TIMER
- Press the TIMER button to program how long you want the dehumidifier to run until the unit turns off: 2 hours, 4 hours or 8 hours.
- Once the time has elapsed, the dehumidifier will turn off.
- If you want to cancel the timer programming, press the TIMER button until there are no timer LED’s lit.
TANK FULL INDICATOR
When the water container is full, an alarm signal will be produced.
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, restarts after
three minutes.
PERMANENT WATER DRAINAGE
It is possible to connect a drainage tube with an inner diameter of 10mm (not
supplied) to the appliance for permanent water drainage.
If this option is desired, you will need to purchase a suitable PVC tube from
your local hardware retailer (Goldair does not hold tubes as spare parts).
Connect the drainage hose to the drain spout.
Place the end of the drainage hose in a drainage outlet. 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 positioned in the unit otherwise the continuous
drainage will not operate. It will also catch any overflow.
When you no longer wish to use the permanent water drainage, disconnect the
drainage tube from the device and water will be collected in tank again.
DEFROSTING
When the machine is in an environment of low temperature during operation, the
surface of the evaporator may frost up. In order to ensure the normal
operation of the machine, it will go into an automatic defrosting function.
SAFETY DEVICES
This appliance has two protection devices:
- Resettable Thermal Link – this will automatically disconnect the power to the appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to overheat.
- Thermal Fuse – this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating.(It is non resettable).
CARE AND CLEANING
- The dehumidifier requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:
- Unplug the dehumidifier from the mains supply before cleaning.
- Ensure that the dehumidifier has been allowed to cool down completely before cleaning.
- The common cause of overheating is deposits of dust or fluff in the appliance. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging the appliance and vacuum cleaning the air vents and grills.
- Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the dehumidifier to remove dust and dirt.
- Never use solutions such as petrol, thinners or polishing agents.
