How the Storm Extreme Works

• The Storm LGR Extreme dehumidifier utilizes its integral humidistat to monitor the conditioned space. Once conditions are outside the desired setpoint, the compressor energizes and air is drawn across an evaporator coil. The evaporator coil is cooler than the dew point of the air so the water vapor will turn into liquid condensation. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.

Guidelines

Operation Notes

• Always make sure that the unit is operated, transported, and stored on a stable surface.
• For maximum efficiency, operate the unit with all windows and doors closed.
• Do not place the unit anywhere that may block the inlet or outlet airflow.

Drain Hose Notes

• Storm LGR Extreme is equipped with an external drain line connection, making it easy to plug in.
• The drain line can be directed outside or into any sink, drain, etc.
• For more effective draining, uncoil the entire hose before using.
• Never place the end of the hose higher than 15 feet.
• Always ensure that the drain hose is not blocked prior to use.

Transportation Notes

• Always secure the dehumidifier during transportation
• If the unit is transported vertically, return it to a normal horizontal position, and let sit for 30 minutes prior to use.

Control Panel Guide

• Power Button
  The Power Button is used to turn the dehumidifier on and off. You can also press this button while on a sub-menu if you wish to return to the main screen.

• Set Button
  The Set Button is used to confirm your selected setting, as well as set the humidity level. Each time you press the button, the humidity level will increase 5% (between 35% and 90%). The default humidity level is 50%.

• Manual Drain Button
  The Manual Drain Button is used before moving or storing the machine. Press the Manual Drain Button to remove water from the integral pump reservoir.

• Menu Button
  The Menu Button is used to cycle through the different interfaces of the display screen. When cycling through the display, you’ll be able to access nine different sub-menus (Job Hours, Life Hours, Inlet/Outlet Temperatures, Humidistat Mode, Humidity Setpoint, Temperature Measurement, Language, Coil Temperature, Compressor Current).

Using the Display- Main Screen

1. Power On and Off
   

   • To power on the machine, press the power button once. The display will show
     

   • To power off the machine, press the power button while on the main display screen. The display will show
     

2. Setting Up the Unit

   • Once the machine has powered on, you will see the following display
   • UNIT ON- means the unit is powered on.
   •  00.0HRS- describes any time the machine is running from power on to power off. It includes defrosting time, but does not include the standby time once the set point is reached. The working time can be reset using the sub-menu. If it is never reset, the time will accumulate with a maximum time of 99.9 hours. Once the maximum is reached, it will reset to zero.
   • INLET 00°C 00%” describes the temperature and humidity of air inlet. You can switch the temperature measurement (° F/°C) in the sub-menu.
   • When operating in the sub-menu, press the power key to return to the main menu.

3. Defrosting Screen

   • When the unit enters defrosting mode, it will show “Defrost 000”. This is the countdown until defrosting is finished. After defrost is completed, it will return to the main interface.

   • NOTE: If you are in a submenu, you will not see the countdown until you return to the main interface.
     

   • If you decide to power the machine off while it is defrosting, you will see ‘Wait for Defrost” on the screen. This indicates that the unit will power off after defrost is completed.

4. Compressor

   • This screen indicates the amount of time until the compressor starts running.

5. Pump
   This screen indicates how much time is remaining before the pump has completed working. The countdown will start at 14 seconds.

Using the Display Sub- Menus

1. Job hours
   This screen allows you to clear the job hours. To clear the hours select “>”.
   This will clear the hours on the main screen, and “RESET” will no longer display on the sub menu. Once hours have accumulated, “RESET” will appear on the sub menu again.
   

2. Life Hours
   “Life Hours” desribes the total working time of the dehumidifier. The life hours cannot be cleared.

3. Inlet/Outlet Temperatures
   
   NLET00.00%” describes the temperature of the air inlet.
   OUTLET00°00%” describes the temperature of the air outlet.

4. Humidistat Mode
   Humidistat set point 00%”: Used to set the temperature in dehumidification mode. Press the “>” button to set the humidity. The humidity setting range is between 25~80% and CO %. Each time the button is pressed, the humidity will increase by 5% and can be changed cyclically. When the setting is completed, and you don’t press it within 5 seconds, it’ll take effect.
   continuous operation mode *To switch to continuous mode, simply press the “>” button to lower the humidity below 25%. The display will then show CO %, which means you’ve successfully switched to the continuous operation mode.

Maintenance Instructions

Before Use

•  Check the power cord for signs of damage such as fraying. Replace the cord before use if there is any damage.
• Check the filter for signs of dirt or obstructions. Clean or replace the filter as necessary.
• Check the coils for signs of buildup. Clean if needed.

Cleaning the Machine Body

• Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of the unit. Do not use any soap or solvents.

Filter Maintenance

1. Unplug the unit.
2. Slide out the filter.
3. Check the filter for dirt and buildup.
4. For a Pre-Filter or MERV-8: Clean the filter mesh by vacuuming it or washing with warm water (no soap or cleaners). Gently shake the filter dry, then reinsert it.
5. For a Carbon, or HEPA Filter: If there is dirt or buildup, replace filter.

Removing the Housing

1. Remove the screws on the housing.
2. Remove the screws on the air inlet grill and air outlet grill.

Coil Maintenance

• Once per year, clean the coils with an approved coil cleaner.
• Coil cleaner should be a self-rinsing, foaming cleaner such as WEB® Coil Cleaner.

Pump Maintenance

Pump Access

• Remove the screws on the housing, then lift off. Unplug the pump drain line, then remove the screws holding the pump in place.

Cleaning the Pump Reservoir

• Once the screws are removed, lift off the top of the pump and set aside. Use a paper towel to wipe off the base of the pump.

Error Codes

• If there is an issue with the dehumidifier, one of the following error codes will appear

E1 Error

• An E1 error code will appear if the humidity sensor has an error. The unit will not operate if an E 1 code is present, however, you can still use the manual pump button.

LO Error

• A LO error code will appear if the temperature sensor detects the incoming air is below the operating temperature range (33° F). The unit will not operate if an LO code is present, however, you can still use the manual pump button. If the actual temperature is much higher than 33° F, replace the sensor.

HI Error

• A HI error code will appear if the temperature sensor detects the incoming air is above the operating temperature range (10S° F). The unit will not operate if an HI code is present, however, you can still use the manual pump button. If the actual temperature is much lower than 1 OS° F, replace the sensor.

ES Error Code

• An ES error code indicates that there is a refrigerant leak. Once an ES error is detected, the unit will run for 30 minutes to verify the issue, then power off.

E4 Error Code

• An E4 error code indicates that there is an issue with the pump. The E4 code will appear once a high water level for the pump has been detected.
