CONTROL PANEL

Positioning a Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an enclosed area. Close all doors and windows that open to the outside to maximize water removal efficiency. Place your dehumidifier away from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could block airflow into and out of the unit. For more information about creating an optimum drying environment, contact your local distributor.

Set up drain hose
Unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows. Verify hose fitting is attached to short hose exiting the unit. NOTICE : Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place the end of the hose higher than 6 m above the bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may cause a water backup and result in overflows

Plug-in the electrical cord

The unit should be plugged into a 230V/50Hz or 110V/50Hz outlet depending on the model. Startup display and normal display modes When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control panel display will briefly cycle through a series of

If the onboard diagnostics discover a problem, the unit will display an error message. See “Error Messages,” p. 8 for an explanation of each message.

Control Panel Guide

• ON/OFF.
  Press to turn the unit on or off. When the machine is turned on, the display normally reads PLEASE WAIT COMP. DELAY and performs a numeral countdown for a maximum of 60 seconds to 0. This delay allows time for refrigerant pressures to equalize for easier starting. Once the unit completes the compressor delay, the display shows UNIT ON XX HRS and cycles between INLET XX°F and INLET XX%. NOTE: If no compressor delay countdown is displayed, a delay is not necessary and the machine will begin operation immediately.

• DISPLAY MENU.
  Press to cycle through the display of additional dehumidifier conditions and User Settings. To return to the main menu, press the ON/OFF key once.

• MENU SELECTION.
  Press to change the values of the “User Defined” settings. The MENU SELECTION key acts as the UP key for adjusting the setpoint for Humidistat mode operation. See User Settings Menu (below) for details.

• PURGE.
  Press to empty water from the condensate pump reservoir. The display will read PUMP PURGING with a numeral countdown. NOTE: During normal operation, the pump purges automatically.

• Changing settings and viewing system information
  Display setting changes and system information can be accessed by pressing DISPLAY MENU. Each press of the key will display the next parameter (see list below). When you reach the parameter you wish to adjust, press MENU SELECTION to increase the value. Press DISPLAY MENU again to accept the setting and re- start the display cycle Note that only menu items followed by a greater-than symbol ( > ) may be adjusted.

USER SETTINGS

Only menu items followed by a greater-than symbol (>) may be adjusted. If no keys are selected for 5 minutes on when the screen shows INLET-OUTLET, the display will return to normal display mode. In all the other menu items, the display with return to the normal display mode after 20 seconds. Items without the symbol (>) are for information only and cannot be changed or reset

AT THE END OF THE JOB

To reduce the possibility of drips when moving the unit, follow these additional steps to ensure that all water is removed from the unit. NOTICE: To ensure all water is removed from the dehumidifier, the unit will complete the defrost cycle even if the unit is turned off. If the unit is unplugged during the defrost cycle, excessive water may accumulate in the unit and may drip out when you move the unit. If the defrost cycle is interrupted in this way, note that the unit will display the message POWER FAILURE the next time it is powered up. To clear the message, press the MENU SELECTION key. NOTICE: To ensure the condensate tank empties completely while purging, make sure the unit is placed upright on a horizontal surface.
