CONTROL PANEL

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Turning On and Off:

• Press the power button once to turn the appliance on or off.
• When turning on, the appliance will function with the last settings selected.
• When turned off the fan will continue to run for 2 minutes to help cool and protect the internal components.

Setting a Timer:

• Press the Timer button to cycle through the timer options of 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, or no timer.
• The selected timer indicator light will turn on. As the remaining time decreases, the timer indicator lights indicating how much time is left will turn on.

Setting the Mode:
Press the Mode button to cycle through the mode options.

• AUTO: The dehumidifier automatically adjusts between high and low modes depending on the humidity of the room, and your desired humidity level.
• LOW: The dehumidifier runs with a low fan speed and a low heater setting.
• HIGH: The dehumidifier runs with a high fan speed and a high heater setting.

Note: The display will revert to showing the room’s current humidity level 3 seconds after you select a setting.

Setting the Humidity:
Press the Humidity Setting Button to cycle through the humidity setting options.

• At 40% humidity, the 40% humidity indicator light will turn on.
• At 45% humidity, the 40% and 50% humidity indicator lights will turn on.
• At 50% humidity, the 50% humidity indicator light will turn on.
• At 55% humidity, the 50% and 60% humidity indicator lights will turn on.
• At 60% humidity, the 60% humidity indicator light will turn on.

When desired humidity is greater than actual room humidity, the Humidity Indicator Light will flash, and the dehumidifier will enter energy saving standby mode. When in standby mode, the heater will stop and the air outlet will stop. The fan will continue to operate for two minutes to cool the dehumidifier. After 30 minutes in standby mode, the fan will switch on for five minutes to check the humidity of the room. If the room humidity has not increased by more than 5% of desired humidity, the dehumidifier will return to standby mode. Once the room humidity increases by more than 5% of desired humidity, the dehumidifier will automatically restart and return to operation.
Current Room Humidity % RH is displayed by the Room Humidity Indicator Lights. E.g. if the room humidity is 40% RH one light will illuminate next to 40%. If the room humidity is 45% RH two lights will illuminate, one next to 40% and one next to 50%.

CONNECTING THE WATER HOSE FOR CONTINUOUS DRAINING

For long-term use, it is recommended to connect a hose for continuous drainage.

To attach the hose:

1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool to remove the plastic covering from the continuous drainage hole at the back of the dehumidifier.
2. Check that the water tank is securely in position.
3. Insert the hose into the water hose connector and check it is connected properly. (12mm)

REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

When the water tank is full three beeps will sound; the Water Tank Full Indicator Light will continuously flash and the dehumidifier will pause operation to prevent the water tank from overflowing. To remove and empty the water tank:

1. Turn off the dehumidifier, wait two minutes for the fan to stop, and unplug it from the wall socket.
2. Gently pull the water tank out from the front of the dehumidifier.
3. Use handle to empty the water tank.
4. Once empty, slot the tank back in carefully.

DO NOT remove the float from the top of the water tank as this may cause damage and prevent the dehumidifier from functioning as intended.
NOTE : If the water tank is full or not inserted correctly, the Water Tank Full Indicator Light will flash and the appliance will turn off.

CLEANING & STORAGE

WARNING: ALWAYS TURN THE APPLIANCE OFF AND UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BEFORE HANDLING OR CLEANING IT.
CAUTION: DO NOT ALLOW WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO RUN INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE APPLIANCE, AS THIS COULD CREATE A FIRE AND/OR ELECTRICAL HAZARD.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS, AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE APPLIANCE.

• Do not attempt to clean the appliance in any other way than that detailed by the manufacturer.
• Clean the exterior surface of the appliance by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. Dry the appliance with a soft, clean cloth.
• The filter should be cleaned every two weeks using a damp cloth
• Always empty the water tank, clean and dry the appliance when not in use to prevent mould.

Cleaning the water tank:

• Remove and empty the water tank as per the instructions above.
• Clean the water tank with warm tap water and mild detergent (e.g. washing up liquid). Note: Do not use boiling water to clean the water tank.
• Ensure to remove any scale or deposits that have formed inside the water tank.
• Wipe all surfaces dry before placing the water tank back into the appliance.

Storage:

• To store your product, we recommend using the original or a similar-sized box.
• Store the appliance in a safe, clean and dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children when not in use.

HELPFUL INFORMATION

After turning the dehumidifier off using the Power Button, the fan will continue to run for two minutes. This is a normal operating mechanism and helps to cool down and protect the internal components of the dehumidifier. DO NOT remove the plug from the socket at any point within the period whilst the fan is running. Once the fan has stopped running it is safe to remove the plug from the socket.
When the dehumidifier is first turned on and intermittently thereafter a faint smell may be noticeable. This is NOT an indication that the dehumidifier is faulty or of any harm to those nearby but is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material within the body.
Zeolite absorbs odours from items such as cigarettes and cosmetics and when heated discharges these odours into the room. Ventilate the room if required to reduce the odour. The odour will reduce naturally as the dehumidifier operates.
The normal operating temperature range is 1°C – 40°C. Should the temperature fluctuate from this range the dehumidifier will stop operation. This is NOT an indication that the dehumidifier is broken. Once the temperature returns to within the normal operating range the dehumidifier will operate as normal.
If the Check Indicator Light is continuously flashing it is an indication of possible overheating. As a first resolution check the dehumidifier to ensure that it is not covered, the air inlet and air outlet are not blocked, and the filter is clean. If the Check Indicator Light continues to flash DO NOT attempt to repair the dehumidifier yourself, as doing so could lead to the risk of electric shock.
