• It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure adequate electrical power is available.

•  This agfliance is designed to operate on a separate branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded 120 Volt 60
  Hertz (alternating current) circuit protected bfi/ als am}ipere fuse, equivalent fuse or circuit breaker.

• The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord should be plugged directly into a polarized, three slot, effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 V.A.C.
  FOR YOUR SAFETY: To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance,

Improper connection of the equiprrgent(—igrounqilgg conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your appliance outlets are properly grounded.

• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, %’oundin will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current.
  This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and 3 prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not modify the plug provided with this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

LOCATION

• Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical cutlet (avoid the use of extension cords). I it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cord, use an approved “air conditioner” heavy duty extension cord ONLYy(available at most local hardware stores).
• Make sure there are no obstructions restrictiog airflow through the front air intake a%rill. Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 20 cm (8”) between adjacent walls and the back of the unit, to allow for proper air circulation and maximum efficiency. To obtain maximum operating efficiency from your dehumidifier, the recommended (room ambient) operating temperatures should be between 6°g (42.8°F)- 35°C (95°F).
• It is important to remember the efficiency of a dehumidifier will be effected/influenced by the rate at which new humid air (moisture) is allowed to infiltrate the same space/area. To maintain efficiency, the dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area. Keep all doors and windows closed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
START OPERATION

1.  Place the product in an upright position on a flat, stable, and heat- resistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or heat sensitive within 100cm (39 inches). Operating, the product in any other position could cause a hazard.
2.  Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket, The dehumidifier is suitable for operating on an electricity supply having the same voltage as that showm on its rating label.
3. Make sure the water tank is correctly located. After switching on the machine for the first time, if the “‘Bucket Full” light illuminates, pull out the water tank and check that the “float” lever is able to move freely, then return the water tank to the correct position (Fig. 1).

WATER FULL INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)

When the water tank is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the water full red light turns on and remains on until sach tune that the tank is empticd and/or correctly re-positioned.
This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both con&}/xessor and fan motor operations are terminated). This is a safety feature. When the water tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifier will resume operation automatically.

• NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
  BUCKET FULL LIGHT

  • When the water tank is full the machine will stop and the“Bucket Full” light will illuminate.
  • The water tank should be carcfully removed from the machine by sliding it outward from the front of the unit, and it should be emptied. When the emPp:y tank Is replaced properly in the machine, the unit will start up and run normally (Fig. 2).
    NOTE: Please use both hands to carefully empty the water tank.

MEMORY SETTING

Each time the unit is disconnected/reconnected and/or in the event of a power failure, the electronic circuitboard automatically defaults fo the last program sciting that was set by the user.
WATER TANK OPERATION
Proper installation of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifier peration. The water tank holds accumulated condensed waler and, by means of a safety – o switch, controls both the water level and operation of the dehumidification process.
When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the float switch actuator, g‘nside the tank) breaks contact with the safety switch. This condition results in the inmediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor system, preventing moisture from being condensed.
NOTE: Never tamper with or atiempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system.
DEFOST
When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 18°C(64.4°F)), the surface of the evaporator may accumulate a layer of fi?ost which would reduce the efficiency of the machune. When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C@1°F).The time taken to detfrost may vary. If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the room temperature remains below 5°C @1°F) the machine should be switched off.
DEHUMIDIFYING
DEHUMIDIFYING; Hci]f rlemoving mois‘rureh from the air. A dehumidifier will help to profect your home and valued possessions from dgmag?e swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air as the moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on thé evaporator coil drained, and collected inside an internal (removabie) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned into the room environment is elevated several degrees, causing the surrounding air temperature to increase (slightly). This process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:

1. To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.
2. Press the humidity ox;butt?)ns to select a desired
   RH operating value (30%-90%).
   FAN SPEED SELECTION: Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed i’.ou select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection made.
   AIR FILTER
   Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter. This filter is located at the front of the unit (behind the air intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment. The air filter plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/dirt particles fiom the surrounding environment. A blocked / ch}gged ai filter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on operatin; efficiency. To maintain maximum operating efficiency, the filter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks). More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.

IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS:

1. Pull the air filter out gently (Fig. 3).
2.  Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner, or wash it with clean water and dry with a dry cloth.
3.  Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.

INSTALLING PVC DRAIN HOSE
When using the continuous drain function, the PVC hose must be placed horizontaléy elow the drainage hole. Avoid uneven ground and folding the hose. NOTE: Shouls ou damage or misplace the pve drain hose, a standard garden hose can be used.

CONTINUOUS DRAIN

The function of continuous drain can be performed using the following steps:

1. To save having to periodically em‘}Jty the water tank, this unit can be configured for continuous drain, You can use the supplied drain hose to connect to the continuous drain connector.

2.  Unscrew and remove the drain cover at the rear of the unit (Fig. A).
   

3. Remove the soft rubber stopper, and place it in the water tank for safe keeping (Fig. B).
   

4. Insert the drain hose through the hole of the drain cover (Fig. C).

5.  Ensure the rubber seal ring is properly seated in the end of the ubbe hose as shown in Fig. C.
   

6.  Connect the drain hose to the drain port (Fig. D).

7. Tighten the drain cover in clockwise direction onto the rear of the unit (Fig. D).

8. Place the bucket in its original location (Fig. E).
