Features
WHAT IS A DEHUMIDIFIER?
Your Breville dehumidifier is designed to reduce and maintain the level of humidity in the air as well as to prevent condensation and mildew on the ceilings and walls.
HOW DOES A DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?
Your Breville dehumidifier regulates the relative humidity of your home by drawing moist, humid air from the surrounding area and turning the moisture into water. The water is dispensed into the water tank or drainage hose, while the now non-humid air is rewarmed and passed back into the room.
WHAT IS RELATIVE HUMIDITY?
Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air and it is commonly expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can hold at a given temperature. A comfortable %RH level is between 40-60%RH.
Assembly
BEFORE FIRST USE
- Before using your dehumidifier for the first time, remove all packaging material and promotional labels.
- Check for any missing or damaged parts as per the components list.
- Clean all parts according to the Care, Cleaning & Storage section of this book.
- Use the carry handle to move the dehumidifier.
- Position the dehumidifier away from walls, furniture and other appliances as per the illustration below.
- Ensure that the filter, grilles and water tank and drainage hose (if applicable) are correctly installed before use.
- Connect the power plug to a 230V or 240V outlet and switch the outlet on.
Functions
USING YOUR BREVILLE DEHUMIDIFIER
- To operate the dehumidifier, press the POWER button.
- The unit will start with a default fan speed of Medium and the humidity setting set to Continuous.
- To turn the dehumidifier off, press the POWER button again.
- The internal fan will continue to operate for 4 minutes after the unit is turned off to cool the dehumidifier down.
NOTE
The dehumidifier cannot operate if the water tank is full or is not
installed correctly.
NOTE
This dehumidifier produces heat during operation which may cause room
temperatures to rise by 1°C to 4°C, especially if used in an enclosed
space.
SENSAIR™ LIVE HUMIDITY CONTROL
- Your Breville All Climate™ Dehumidifier has a built-in sensor to detect changes in the humidity level in the air. This allows the unit to keep the relative humidity (%) on the selected humidity level.
HUMIDITY SETTING
The default humidity setting for this dehumidifier is CONTINUOUS. The Humidity Setting allows you to manually set the relative humidity (%RH) level between 40%, 50%, 60% and CONTINUOUS. To select the humidity level, press the
HUMIDITY button until the light illuminates next to the desired level.
When the selected humidity level is reached, the dehumidifier will switch to
fan-only for 5 minutes to cool down, then stop. Every 30 minutes thereafter,
the unit will operate on low speed to check the humidity. If the humidity
rises above the set humidity level, the dehumidifier will restart.
NOTE:
When using the Humidity Setting, the dehumidifier will turn off when the
ambient relative humidity (%RH) is less than 2% of the level selected.
NOTE:
The humidity level will only operate on Continuous when on High speed.
FAN SPEED
The Fan Speed can be manually selected.
- Press the SPEED button to cycle between Low, Medium (Med) and High. The light will illuminate next to the selected speed.
ION FILTER
The inoniser produces charged negative ions that attach to floating particles, such as dust and allergens, removing them from the air.
- Press the ION FILTER button to turn the ioniser On or Off.
TIMER
If a time is selected, the dehumidifier will automatically turn off when the time has elapsed. If no time is selected, the dehumidifier must be manually turned off.
- Press the TIMER button to select 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours or 8 hours with the light illuminating next to the time selected.
- To turn off, press the TIMER button until no lights illuminate next to a time.
WARNING: As a safety feature, the dehumidifier will automatically turn off if the water tank is full, even if the timer has not reached the time set.
EMPTY ME WARNING LIGHT
As the dehumidifier operates, condensed water will drain into the water tank, unless the continuous drainage hose is connected. When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier will beep 10 times and the EMPTY ME red warning light will flash on the control panel. The dehumidifier will stop operating.
- To empty the water tank, pull the tank out of the dehumidifier using the tank handle, and remove the water tank cover.
- Empty the water into a drainage source, such as a sink, and replace the water tank cover back onto the tank.
- Replace the water tank back into the dehumidifier to resume operation.
- Non-default settings will need to be re-set.
IMPORTANT: Water in the water tank is not suitable for drinking. Do not
drink this water and do not serve to animals or use to water plants.
NOTE: Ensure the water tank is fitted correctly or the dehumidifier will
not operate.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE (hose drainage gravity-assisted)
The continuous drainage outlet allows water to drain without having to monitor and empty the water tank. Ensure the hose (included) is properly inserted into the water outlet before starting the dehumidifier.
- Remove the water tank to access the continuous drainage outlet.
- Insert one end of the hose (included) into the outlet, ensuring that the hose is slid right to the back of the outlet.
- Thread the other end of the hose through the hose hole located in the water tank cover, then into a water drain, being careful that it cannot inadvertently come loose when water starts to drain.
- As the dehumidifier uses gravity to drain the water, no part of the hose should sit above the level of the continuous drainage outlet.
- Replace the water tank back into the dehumidifier.
- The dehumidifier will drain through the hose while installed.
NOTE: For the unit to drain correctly, no part of the hose should be
above the level of the continuous drainage outlet.
WARNING: Ensure the hose is secure in both the water outlet and the
drainage outlet.
OVERHEAT WARNING
This dehumidifier is equipped with Overheat Protection. As the dehumidifier
operates, an obstruction/blockage may occur in the air grilles causing the
unit to overheat internally.
In this event, the dehumidifier will turn off automatically and the OVERHEAT
red warning light will illuminate on the control panel.
Unplug the dehumidifier from the power outlet, remove the blockage and wait 5
minutes for the unit to cool down before operating.
NOTE: Once the dehumidifier has cooled down, any non-default settings
will need to be reset.
NOTE: The dehumidifier air vents and air grilles must not be obstructed
at any time. Air flow is required for the unit to operate effectively.
TILT PROTECTION
This dehumidifier is equipped with Tilt Protection. If the dehumidifier is knocked over or tilted over a 45-degree angle while in operation, the internal heater will stop operating. The fan and motor will continue to run for 4 minutes (to cool down the unit) before stopping completely. Once the unit is returned upright, the dehumidifier can be turned back on and re-set.
