IMPORTANT

Your Ebac Dehumidifier is packed in a plastic wrapper – please ensure that it is disposed of safely and where it will not be a danger to children

HOW YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER WORKS

Your dehumidifier draws in the moist air, cooling it to a temperature where excess moisture will condense, thereby removing the excess moisture. This in turn dries anything in the immediate area which is damp. The moisture is collected via a drip tray and drained via a drainage hose. The air is rewarmed and passed back approximately 2°C warmer.

OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

The amount of moisture removed by your dehumidifier will vary according to the conditions in which it is operating. For example, operating in very cold temperatures will reduce water extraction levels. The time taken to dry an area will depend on the size of area to be dried and level of moisture to begin with. To achieve maximum benefit form your dehumidifier, you should ensure :-

a) It is permanently connected to the mains
b) Door to areas not to be dried are kept closed.
c) External doors and windows are kept closed as much as possible

SWITCHING ON YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

Simply connect the dehumidifier to a standard 230V mains supply and switch the supply on. The unit will then start immediately. To protect the compressor, you should allow 5 minutes between switching the dehumidifier off and on again.

DEFROST OPERATION

At certain temperatures, the water taken freezes onto the pipes inside your dehumidifier and therefore needs to be defrosted. This model features an automatic defrost which will clear any ice build up.

DRAINAGE

Your dehumidifier will continuously remove water when turned on. This means water will be continuously flowing from the drainage tube. This must be collected into a water container or connected to a permanent drain at all times when running the unit. The drainage tube must not be higher than the level of the drain tray or flooding may occur. If connected to a container it must be monitored and emptied as required.

IF YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER FAILS TO OPERATE

1. Check that the plug is fully pushed into the socket and is switched on.
2. Check with some other electrical device that the wall socket is “live”. If it is not, contact a qualified electrician.
3. Check the fuse in the plug. If you replace the fuse, refit with a 13Amp fuse. Should none of the above remedies work, then disconnect from the mains. Contact the help line on 01388 664400. DO NOT attempt to repair the unit or unscrew the outer casing.
