OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Start Operation

1. Ensure that the unit is plugged into a properly designated power outlet.
2. Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet. The dehumidifier is suitable for operation on an electricity supply having the same voltage as that shown on its rating label.
3. Place the unit in an upright position on a flat, level, steady, stable, heat-resistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or heat sensitive within 39 inches (100 cm) of the unit. Operating the unit in any other position is hazardous.
4. Make sure the bucket is placed in the proper position.
   (After switching the unit on for the first time, the “Bucket Full” light may illuminate. Pull the bucket out, check that the “float” lever is able to move freely, then push the bucket back to the proper position.)

When Bucket Full Light Is On
When the bucket is full, the unit will stop running, beep 5 times, and the “Bucket Full” light will illuminate. To empty the bucket, carefully slide the bucket out from the bottom front of the unit.
Hold the bucket with both hands to avoid spilling. Once the bucket has been emptied, return the bucket to its proper position by sliding the empty bucket back into place. The unit will start up and run normally.

DEFROST
When operating in low temperatures (less than 54°F/12°C) the surface of the evaporator may accumulate frost and effect the efficiency of the dehumidifier. When this happens, the unit will automatically go into “Defrost” mode. This is normal and the “Defrost” light will illuminate. Once the unit is done defrosting, it will resume running as normal. The unit can operate in temperatures down to 41° F/5°C. Defrost times may vary. If the dehumidifier freezes up, turn the unit off for a few hours and then restart. It is not recommended to use the dehumidifier in temperatures below 41°F/5°C.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

The “Continuous Drainage” function can be started with the following steps.

1. To save having to periodically empty the bucket, this unit can be set for continuous drainage. Use the supplied drain hose and connect it to the continuous drainage connector located on the back righthand side of the unit..|
---|---
2. Unscrew and remove the drain cover found at the

rear of the unit.

|
3. Remove the soft rubber stopper. Place it in the

bucket for safe keeping.

4. Return the bucket to its proper position.|
5. Insert the drain hose (provided) through the hole of the drain cover with the washer portion on the inside of the cover.|
6. Connect the drain hose to the drain port.|
7. Tighten the drain cover in clockwise direction onto the rear of the unit.|

INSTALLING DRAINAGE GARDEN HOSE
When using the “Continuous Drainage” function, a regular garden hose can be used in place of the drain hose provided. Avoid uneven ground and folding of the hose. The hose should go on a downward slope and be free of folds/kinks in order to properly drain into the drain hole. The hose length should not exceed 6 ft.

MAINTENANCE

For safety reasons, make sure the dehumidifier is unplugged before servicing or cleaning.

1. Cleaning the unit:
2. Wipe the unit with a clean, soft cloth.
3. If the dehumidifier is very dirty, use a moist cloth with a mild detergent to clean, then wipe off the detergent with a semi-dry cloth.
   CAUTION: Do not wash the machine with a hose or immerse it in water. This may result in electrocution.

Cleaning the air filter:
The purpose of the air filter is to filter dust and other materials from the air. If the filter is blocked with dust, the electricity usage will be higher than normal. For optimal moisture removal and efficiency, clean the filter every 2 weeks.

Cleaning Steps:

1. Remove and empty bucket.
2. Pull the air filter out gently from the bottom of the front panel.
3. Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with clean, luke warm water and dry with a dry cloth.
4. Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.
