Operating Your Dehumidifier

Always choose a safe location for the dehumidifier, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please follow the below instructions.
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the dehumidifier.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 200mm from all sides of the appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this dehumidifier with a programmer, separate timer, remote-control system, or any other device that switches the dehumidifier on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the dehumidifier is covered or positioned incorrectly.
WARNING: Never leave this dehumidifier unattended.
Ensure the dehumidifier is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Once the dehumidifier is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch it on.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and socket and could result in fire.
Leave the appliance to stand for one hour after transport or after the unit has been on its side before connecting it to the mains supply to let the refrigerant settle.
Ensure all external windows and doors are closed before turning on the unit.
Ensure that the water container is positioned correctly.

Operating Your Dehumidifier

SAFETY DEVICES
This appliance has two protection devices:

• Resettable Thermal Link – this will automatically disconnect the power to the appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to overheat.
• Thermal Fuse – this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating. (It is non-resettable).

CARE AND CLEANING
The dehumidifier requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble-free operation:

• Unplug the dehumidifier from the mains supply before cleaning and ensure that the dehumidifier has been allowed to cool down completely before cleaning.
• The common cause of overheating is deposits of dust or fluff in the appliance. Ensure these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging the appliance and vacuum cleaning the air vents and grills.

The air filter should also be cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks). To remove the filter:

• Place a finger in the recessed area at the base of the Air Outlet Filter and gently pull it towards you and then down, the filter will now be released from the unit.
• To dislodge any dust from the filter you can either tap the filter lightly over a dustbin or use a vacuum cleaner to remove all dirt.
• If the filter contains excessive debris which is hard to dislodge, you can remove the filter from the filter bracket and wash the filter in warm soapy water (using a neutral detergent), rinse well with clean water, and then leave until dry. Once the filter is dry, reinsert it into the filter bracket.
• Replace the filter back onto the unit and clip it into place.
• Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the dehumidifier to remove dust and dirt.
• Never use solutions such as petrol, thinners, or polishing agents.
• Ensure the dehumidifier is dry before plugging back into the main supply.

CARE AND CLEANING CONTINUED…

• The water tank should be cleaned every few weeks to prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria.
• Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around and then empty the tank and rinse.

Note: To thoroughly clean and dry the tank, remove the handle and lid to gain access to the inside of the tank. After cleaning, drying, and reassembling the water tank, reinsert it securely into the dehumidifier in order to restart the operation.
