Keep the appliance out of reach of small children. Children should not play with the appliance or its accessories. Cleaning and user maintenance operations should not be performed by children unless they are older than 8 years, and under supervision.
This appliance contains small parts which may cause choking.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
CAUTION- The plastic bags and packaging used to wrap this appliance may be dangerous. To avoid risk of suffocation, keep these bags out of reach of babies and children. These bags are not toys.
Ensure that all packaging materials and any promotional labels or stickers are removed from the appliance before the first use.

SAFETY – OPERATION

Always inspect the appliance and AC-DC power adapter before use for noticeable signs of damage. Do not use if they are damaged or have been dropped. In the event of damage, or if the appliance develops a fault, contact a qualified electrician.
Make sure your electricity supply matches the voltage shown on the power adapter label.
Only use the original AC-DC power adapter that came with the device. Do not use this appliance if the adapter is damaged.
Unplug the AC-DC power adapter from the mains when not in use and before cleaning. To unplug, pull the adapter from the mains socket.
Always place the appliance in an upright position on a dry and level surface.
To protect against fire, electric shock or personal injury, do not immerse cord, adapter or device in water or other liquids.
Always ensure that your hands are dry before removing the AC-DC power adapter from the mains socket. Never pull the adapter out of the mains socket by its lead.
To avoid injury or possible fire, do not cover the appliance when in use.
Do not connect this appliance to an external timer or remote-control system.
An extension cable may be used with caution. The electrical rating of the cable should be at least as high as that of the AC-DC power adapter. Do not allow the cable to hang over the edge of the worktop, or touch any hot surfaces.
Place the device away from other objects in an open space with good airflow, to allow sufficient ventilation. Make sure that no objects block the air vents.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The device can not be switched on. What can be the cause?

Check if the AC-DC adapter is correctly installed.
Check if the tank is correctly installed. Slide it out and push it back in.

I have emptied the tank, but the tank light is still red. What do I do?

Please pull the tank out of the device. You will notice a white float in a cylindrical compartment located next to the drainage cap. Please pour all water from this compartment each time you empty the tank.
Check if the tank is correctly installed. Slide it out and push it back in.
The float might be stuck. Slide out the tank and push down the cylinder on the upper right side of the tank.

My Vida (PVDS-1000EU) collects less than 250 ml of water per day. Is it defective?

No, it is likely fine. The performance of a dehumidifier depends on the amount of water in the air. The higher the air temperature, the more water air can contain (relative humidity). At higher temperature levels the device needs to work a lot harder, and it has to remove more moisture to decrease the relative humidity level. In a colder room, there simply is less water to capture, and the tank will fill more slowly.

My Vida (PVDS-1000EU) does not seem to have very much effect yet. Is it broken?

Is water being collected in the tank?
This compact device was designed to gradually absorb moisture (max. 250 ml/day). Has sufficient time passed?
Enough time needs to pass to remove moisture already present in the enclosed space.

Operating instructions

INTENDED USE

Your new Pingi Vida Dehumidifier (PVDS-1000EU) is suitable for dehumidifying enclosed indoor spaces. The appliance is powered by the 9V AC-DC adapter that is supplied with the device. The power adapter operates on 100-240V, 50/60Hz (mains electricity). Never try to connect the device or power adapter to other power sources. Please always follow the safety instructions in this manual. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place, so that it is available at all times. This product complies with regulatory, national and European requirements. Never try to make technical modifications to this device. We do not accept liability for accidents or damages resulting from failure to follow these operating and safety instructions.

FUNCTION AND APPLICATION

The Pingi Vida Dehumidifier (PVDS-1000EU) was developed as a compact dehumidifier that captures excess moisture in indoor spaces. This product is ideally suited for unventilated indoor spaces. The captured moisture is collected in the integrated tank.

BEFORE YOU START

Please carefully read the safety instructions on the front page of this manual before getting started.

OPERATION

Powered on: The device is switched on by pressing the power button on the front of the device. The power button will light blue. The blue tank light will also be activated. The appliance is now collecting humidity from the ambient air.

Tank full: This appliance has an automatic shut-off function. When the tank is nearly full, the tank light will change colour to red and the power button light will dim.
OPERATION

EMPTYING THE TANK

This device has a tank with a capacity of approximately 1000 ml. When the tank is nearly full, the appliance will automatically shut off its dehumidifying functions and the tank light will change colour to red. Switch off the appliance and carefully slide out the tank by pulling its handle. The small cap marked ‘DRAIN TANK’ located on top of the tank can now be removed. Empty the tank into, for example, a kitchen sink. After emptying the tank, please hold it upside down for a moment to pour out any remaining water. After draining the tank, it can be replaced. The device can now be switched back on.

24/7 DRAINAGE

DRAINAGE

This appliance comes with a convenient 24/7 drainage option. You can attach a 010mm drainage tube (part not included) to the tank and any collected water will flow out through the drainage tube. You can hang the other end of the tube in for example a sink or large bucket. You will no longer have to empty the tank.

Attention: When the drainage tube is installed, it is no longer possible to slide the tank out of the device. Remove the drainage tube before attempting to slide out the tank.

Attention – overflowing risk: Automatic shut-off will be bypassed when attaching the drainage tube. Make sure to use a sufficiently large receptacle (bucket) and regularly check it, as it might overflow in time.

Tip: Save the rubber cap for later use.

Note: It is recommended to use the 24/7 drainage option with the VSB-1S wall mount (part not included) only.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Day/Night-mode: The tank light can be dimmed by moving the night-mode slide to the right. The slide is located on the front side above the tank.
