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 nonresettable).

CARE AND CLEANING

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

• Unplug the dehumidifier from the main supply before cleaning.
• 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)

• The air inlet may gather dust easily, please clean it often with a soft, damp cloth.
• If the filter is covered by dust, the airflow and the performance of the unit will be affected, it may even cause damage to the unit.
• We recommend that you regularly clean the filters.
• The dehumidifier must be disconnected from the socket before maintenance and the filters must be allowed to fully dry before reuse.
• Remove the filters from the unit and tap the dust away.
• Clean the carbon, the HEPA, and the mesh filter with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush.
• If dirt and grease is accumulated wash the mesh filter only in hot soapy water.
• Replace the filters in position.
• Note: Never use the unit without the antibacterial mesh dust filter.
• The active carbon filter and HEPA filters should be replaced as necessary after 3-6 months of usage, depending upon the conditions of use.
• IMPORTANT: The HEPA and active carbon filters CAN NOT be washed as they shall get damaged.
• Unintended use of the appliance or damage to the housing may result in the escape of dangerous UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation may, even in small doses cause harm to the eyes and skin.
• Appliances that are obviously damaged must not be operated.
• The UV-C lamp is not user-replaceable.

Caring and Cleaning

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. To thoroughly clean and dry the tank, you can remove the handle and lid to gain access to the inside of the tank by following these instructions:

Note: After cleaning, drying, and reassembling the water tank, it must be reinserted securely into a dehumidifier in order to restart the operation.
