PRODUCT SAFETY FEATURES

Automatic Defrosting
- To ensure the unit operates and performs as stated, the unit has been designed with an Automatic defrost function as frost can be produced on the surface of the evaporator in low temperatures.
- When the temperature sensor detects the room temperature has dropped to 16°C or lower, the Auto Defrost function will start and the DEFROST symbol will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- The unit compressor will run for 25 minutes on dehumidification mode and then the fan will run at high speed in 7 minute cycles to defrost the unit.
  Note: The dehumidification symbol will disappear.
Protection Of Extremely Low & High Temperature
Unit is built with a room temperature sensor that will automatically shut off the unit when the ambient temperature is either less than or equal to 0°C or greater than or equal to 40°C. When sensor is activated there will be a continuous warning beeper which will beep 3 long and 2 short beeps and the corresponding temperature (either 0°C or 40°C) will be displayed on LCD screen.
Note: Unit will not be operable when sensor is activated, to restart unit, unplug unit and restart again.
Note: If unit is shut off due to protection of extremely low & high temperatures, the unit memory function will not operate, unit will reset at default setting.
Failure of Humidity & Temperature Sensor
- When the connection wire between the humidity and temperature sensor is disconnected, the humidity icon will blink and 0°C and 0% RH will display on LCD screen. Unit will switch into continuous dehumidifying mode.
- If the temperature evaporator sensor becomes open circuit or short circuit the DEFROST light will start blinking.
- Unit will operate in a humidifying and defrosting mode, dehumidifying for 20 minutes and then defrosting for 5 minutes.
  Note: If the temperature sensor malfunctions, the unit will continue to work but at a lower efficiency.
Compressor Protection
If the unit malfunctions during the operation of the unit and the compressor fails, the compressor will switch off. Wait a minimum of three minutes to reoperate unit.
Memory Function
- If the power is cut off during the operation of the appliance, the unit will memorise the working mode automatically.
