• Do not dry laundry directly above the unit. To prevent water from entering the dehumidifier, laundry should be placed at least 40 cm away from your dehumidifier.
• Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires, fireplaces, etc.)
• Desiccant dehumidifiers tend to absorb odours from the surrounding environment like cigarettes, cooking, cosmetics, new furniture etc. This smell is described as a burning or sour smell. This is released during operation as the zeolite disc is heated. This is not a sign of a fault and the smell will fade after usage.
• Do not store or use gasoline, petrol, paint, solvents or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this dehumidifier or any other appliance. Do not use dehumidifiers where flammable gases or VOC can be released or accumulate.

ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS

Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills. For maximum performance, the unit should be operated at least 20 cm away from walls and 50 cm from other objects within the room. Keep the filters and grills of the appliance clean. Under normal conditions, filters and grills should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Do not use the unit without the mesh air filter as this will allow dirt to gather inside the dehumidifier, which could invalidate the warranty. A dirty filter will restrict the airflow into the machine, which will  increase the resistance on the fan and could result in damage and might invalidate the warranty. Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on the air quality. Vacuum and wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry them before placing them back in the unit.

WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS RUNNING

1. When the room humidity level is lower than the target humidity,the heater will stop and the fan will continues to run at low speed for air circulation.
2. When the room humidity is higher than the desired level, then the heater will reactivate to work for 4 hours and stop 30minutes as a circulation to extract the moisture .

Please Note: If a permanent drainage pipe is fitted, the unit will not stop operation. Setting the desired humidity to around 40% is good for a drying boost, on the units initial run, or in emergencies. It is not recommended to use it with these settings for normal operation in a domestic or office environment over a long period of time, as the air may become uncomfortably dry. To allow more moisture in the air, press the humidity button to set to a higher percentage value (e.g. 60-70%).

• CO-45% RH – Recommended for boosting drying and emergencies.
• 50-55% RH – Recommended setting, great for domestic operation and dry storage.
• 60% RH – Great for personal comfort and applications where 50% RH is considered too dry.
• 70% RH – Ideal for unoccupied properties or where an economical run is needed without the need to go drier than 70% RH

OTHER FEATURES AND INDICATORS

TANK FULL LIGHT

The light will illuminate and the unit will beep when the tank is ready to be emptied, or if the water tank is incorrectly inserted. The water level control will shut off the dehumidifier until the tank has been emptied and replaced in its proper position.
AUTO-RESTART

When turning off the unit in standby mode, the unit will remember the last setting when the unit is turned on again. If power failure occurs, the unit can restart automatically and the memory function will not work. If set to “child lock” and “timer”, the unit will shut off when the timer is done, but the memory function will not work on child lock and timer when the unit is turned on again. LIGHTWEIGHT PORTABLE DESIGN ON CASTORS The dehumidifier is built to be compact and lightweight. Your dehumidifier is an advanced micro- CPU controlled device capable of self-diagnostics. The LCD display may also show error and protection codes.

POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little effect. In positioning the dehumidifier please ensure circulation of the air is not restricted around the unit. At least 20 cm space should be allowed around the unit. This dehumidifier is designed for indoor residential / small office applications only and any commercial or industrial use will invalidate the warranty. Use the dehumidifier in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. Close all external doors and windows to create an effective operating environment. Do not use outdoors. Your electriQ dehumidifier will begin to protect your space from the harmful effects of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on. Excess moisture is dispersed throughout your home. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this moist air towards it. A warm hallway or landing is an ideal position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation between rooms.

Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier in that area and moving it to a more central location at a later date. Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a radiator or other heat source. When positioning your electriQ dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement, and ensure it is placed on a dry flat surface.

WATER DRAINAGE

When the water tank is full, the unit will stop operating. When this happens, the TANK FULL light will show on the control panel, and the unit will bleep.
Note: Only empty the water tank when it is full or before moving or storing the unit. There are two ways to dispense collected water.

USE THE INTERNAL WATER TANK

When the tank is full, the unit will stop running, and the TANK FULL indicator light will display. Grip the tank securely and carefully pull out. Empty the water tank and reinsert it into the dehumidifier. The tank must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate again. The dehumidifier will re-start when the tank is restored to its correct position.

NOTES:

• Do not remove the water tank immediately after the unit stops. Please wait a while to avoid the water dripping into the unit and causing damage.
• Only empty the water tank when it is full or before moving or storing the unit.
• Do not rest the tank on the floor because the bottom of the tank could be uneven and the tank may fall, causing water to spill.
• When you remove the tank, do not touch sensors or any parts which are situated behind the tank. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the tank gently all the way into the unit. Banging the tank against anything or failing to push it securely into place may prevent the unit from operating.
• Do not remove or damage the float switch in the water tank, otherwise the machine will stop working.
• Please make sure the water tank cover is put back into place correctly before the water tank is reinserted.
• If the water tank is inserted incorrectly, the full tank indicator will illuminate. Remove the water tank and reinsert to turn the indicator off and resume normal use.
• At all times, avoid water entering the unit. It may cause an electrical hazard and damage the unit.

SET UP CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

The dehumidifier has a continuous drain hole that can be connected to a plastic pipe with a length of 2m and an inner diameter of Φ15XΦ18 mm (Not Supplied). Water can be plumbed in or drained into a sink, a larger receptacle or through the wall into an outside drain. Please follow the steps below to set your unit up for continuous drainage.

1. Cut off the cover for the continuous drain on the back of the unit.
2. Pull out the water tank and connect a water tube with an inner diameter of 15mm to the drain connector, and ensure the connection is tight
3. Replace the water tank into position within the unit.

This unit uses gravity to dispose of the water collected and as such the drain should be lower than the dehumidifier water ou tlet. Be sure to run the water pipe downward and let the water flow out smoothly. Do not kink or bend the pipe.

NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the pipe installation, to start the water collecting in the water tank. The permanent drain can be used in conjunction with a water pump (e.g. when draining from a cellar) to lift the water upwards .

SETTING UP THE WIFI APP

BEFORE YOU START

• Ensure your router provides a standard 2.4GHz connection.
• If your router is dual-band ensure that both networks have different network names (SSID). The provider of your router / Internet service provider will be able to provide advice specific to your router.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• WHY DOESN’T THE UNIT WORK /OR STOPS SUDDENLY?
  • The water tank may be full or displaced. Empty the tank and carefully replace in the unit to rectify.
• WHY DOES IT REQUIRE EMPTYING VERY REGULARLY?
  • When you first use your dehumidifier, it will work harder to reduce the room humidity down to 50%RH (SMART mode or the desired humidity set in dehumidifier mode). This is the time when it will produce the most water and as such will require emptying most frequently (even 2-3 times /day). As the room becomes dryer, the dehumidifier will collect less water and it will take longer to fill the tank, this is perfectly normal. When the target relative humidity has been reached the dehumidifier will stop collecting water and will operate for longer periods in fan-only mode, this is normal operation. The intelligent logic of your machine will save you money.
• WHAT DESIRED HUMIDITY SHOULD I SET THE DEHUMIDIFIER TO?
  • Unless you are using the unit to dry clothes, we recommend setting the desired humidity to between 50 and 60%. For unoccupied properties, garages and etc, set the unit 60-70%RH with the fan in normal or sleep mode according to your needs. That will ensure minimum power consumption while preventing moisture-related issues. THE ROOM HAS REACHED THE DESIRED HUMIDITY, BUT STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CONDENSATION If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you need to dry the air further, set the unit to 40%RH or continuous mode with the fan set to turbo mode. This may be necessary if you have single glazed windows, the house is poorly insulated or if the outside air temperature drops towards freezing. Using the unit in turbo mode will add more heat to your room and reduce your heating bill as dry air will heat quicker
