PRODUCT OVERVIEW/PARTS

PRODUCT INSTALLATION

• Place the unit on a firm, level surface in an area with at least 30cm of free space around it to allow for proper air circulation.
• Never install the unit where it could be subject to heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other products that products that produce heat.
• Do not place in an area where oil or water may be splashed
• Do not place in direct sunlight
• Do no place near mechanical vibration or shock
• Do not place near excessive dust

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the dehumidifier on a flat surface.

2. Connect the mains plug to the appropriate main socket.
   N.B It is important to ensure that the water tank is correctly positioned within the appliance and that it is not full of water. If the tank “FULL” red LED is illuminated when the appliance is plugged in for the first time, slide the water tank out slightly and push it back into its proper position.

3. Press the “ON/OFF” button (on the back of dehumidifier) to the “ON” position and the mini dehumidifier will begin to operate. The Green LED will illuminate.

4. Power on LED indicator (water droplet) illuminates GREEN when the power switch is turned on and this indicates the dehumidifier is working.

5. Tank full LED indicator light (bottom cup) will illuminate RED when the water tank reaches its maximum capacity and the dehumidifier will automatically stop working. Please turn off the power and empty the water tank before continuing normal dehumidification operations.

6. To switch off the unit, press “ON/OFF” button to “OFF” position, the mini dehumidifier will be turned off.

NORMAL OPERATION

PLEASE NOTE: The operating duration depends on the surrounding environment. In drier areas, it may work slower, while in high-humidity conditions, it will draw water faster. The unit’s performance is tailored to its environment, and it’s been rigorously tested to perform as designed. Factors such as the humidity level, area size, and room temperature will all depend on how long it takes to draw out the correct moisture. The rate at which water is collected in the tank depends on factors such as room temperature, the size of the room, and the source of humidity. It is a known fact that at low room temperature, the extraction rate is also low. The higher the humidity, the better the result.
If the unit is not drawing water or at a slow rate it’s highly likely that the environment it is being used is not humid enough for the product to draw water. This is not a product fault. If you are unsure or have any questions at all please do not hesitate to get in touch with one of the GMC technical team on 012-661-1173 or www.gmcaircon.co.za

COVERAGE AREA
Please remember that this dehumidifier is designed for spaces up to 12m2 and will not work well in areas outside of this coverage area. We have designed and tested this product for this size area, and rest assured that when used correctly, it will work as designed. If you require a larger-capacity dehumidifier, then please consider looking at the GMC range of dehumidifiers (www.gmcaircon.co.za/products/dehumidifiers/) or contacting one of our technical team members, who will be more than happy to help.

CONTINOUS DRAINAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Turn off the dehumidifier, take out the water tank; you will see there is a water drain hole. Insert the water pipe into the drain hole and then insert the water tank back into the dehumidifier.

Place the other end of the water pipe into a washbasin, bucket, etc. Turn on the dehumidifier again. The dehumidifier will collect the water, and it will flow through the pipe into the washbasin, etc.

Warning

1. Please do not block the drain or drain pipe, if the drain pipe is blocked the water will flow back into the water tank.
2. Please do not bend the drain pipe. The height of the drain pipe should be lower than the outlet so gravity can allow the correct flow of water.
3. The drain pipe shall be securely connected to the outlet.

EMOVABLE WATER TANK When the water tank reaches its maximum capacity, the dehumidifier will automatically stop, and the ‘Red’ LED will illuminate. To remove the water tank, first switch off the mini dehumidifier by pressing the ‘ON/OFF’ button to the ‘OFF’ position.

EMPTYING THE WATER TANK

• When the tank is full the “Water Full” light will turn on.
• Press the POWER button to turn off the unit.
• Pull on the water tank and simply slide it out of the body of the dehumidifier.
• Empty the water into an area with a drain or an outside drainage area.
• Clean the inside of the tank as well as the outside.
• Replace the empty tank back into the unit.
• Press the POWER button to resume operating.
• If the Water Full light does not extinguish, check that the float is correctly in place.

REPLACING THE WATER TANK COVER

After cleaning your water tank:

1. Turn the tank cover over and place it on a flat surface.
2. Insert the float into the cover’s aperture.
3. Place the water tank over the cover and press it in smoothly.
4. Replace the water tank into the dehumidifier.
