Positioning the unit

Casters(At four points on the bottom of unit)

• Casters can move freely.
• Do not force casters to move over carpet, nor move the unit with water in the bucket. (The unit may tip over and spill water.)

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.

• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation (at least 40cm of air space on air outlet).
• Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall below 5 C(41 F). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 5 C(41 F), which may reduce performance.
• Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator.
• Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.

• When the unit is on, if the bucket is full, the compressor and the fan turn off, and the Full indicator light will light, the digital display shows P2.
• Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so water does not spill. Do not put the bucket on the floor because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill.
• Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The bucket must be in right place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
• The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its correct position.

Notes:

• When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product.
• Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate.
• If the pump hose drops when you remove the bucket, you must reinstall the pump hose properly to the unit before replace the bucket into the unit.
• When you remove the bucket, if there is some water in the unit you must dry it.
• When the unit is on, if the bucket is removed, the compressor and the fan turn off, then the unit will beep 8 times and the digital display shows Eb.
• When the unit is off, if the bucket is removed, the unit will beep 8 times and the digital display shows Eb.

2. Continuous draining

• Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the unit with a water hose(ld5/16, not included) with a female threaded end(ID:M=1, not included)
  Note: On some models, the female threaded end is include.

• Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of the unit and set aside, then insert the drain hose through the drain outlet of the unit and lead the drain hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
  

• When you remove the plastic cover, if there is some water in the back drain outlet of the unit you must dry it. Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks and the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow smoothly.

• Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water flowing. Make sure the water hose is lower than the drain hose outlet of the unit.

• Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for continuous draining to start.
  Note: When the continuous draining feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet, and dry the water in the continuous drain hose outlet.

3. Pump draining (on some models)

• Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain or a suitable drainage facility by attaching the pump drain outlet with a pump drain hose(od=1/4, supplied).
• Remove the continuous drain hose from the unit and install the plastic cover to the continuous drain hose outlet of the unit by clockwise rotation.
• Resort the pump drain hose into the pump drain hose outlet for depth of 15mm at least, then lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
  Reinstall the plastic cover

• Press the pump pad of the unit to activated the pump operation. When the bucket is full the pump starts to work.
  Note: The pump may cause big noise when it starts to work for 3~5 minutes. It is a normal phenomenon.

• Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.

• Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water flowing.

• Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow smoothly. Do never let it up.

• select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the plastic cover the unit for pump draining to start.

Note: The pump operation on light blinks at 1Hz when the pump is operational failure. Please turn off the unit and plug the power cord out. Check the following things:

• Cleaning the filter of the pump.
  – Remove the bucket from the unit, take down the pump and clean the filter of the pump.

• Check that the pump drain hose does not link or back.

• Empty the water of the bucket.

• Reinstall the pump hose if it drops and reinstall the bucket properly. Turn on the unit. If the error repeats, call for service.

Note: Do not use this operation when the outdoor temperature is equal to or less than 0 C (32 F), otherwise water is become ice that will cause the water hose blocked up and the unit failure. Make sure to empty the bucket once a week when using the pump draining feature. When the pump draining feature is not being used, remove the pump drain hose from the outlet.

• Press the pump drain hose outlet in and take the pump drain hose out from it (See Fig.13). Make sure do not let the water in the pump hose drip to the floor.

Care and Maintenance

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Clean the Grille and Case

• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.

Clean the bucket

Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of meld, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and rinse.
Note: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After clean, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.

Clean the air filter

• Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions.
• To remove the filter, pull filter outwards.
• Wash the filter with clean water then dry.
• Re-install the filter, replace Bucket.

CAUTION DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
