This appliance creates a dryer and more comfortable living environment by removing unwanted moisture from the air in the home or in the working environment. To do this, it makes use of cooling techniques. The lightweight appliance is fitted with swivelling wheels, so that it can be easily moved from room to room. The appliance uses little energy and only emits a minimum amount of noise.
Your DryBest air dehumidifier’s hygrostat keeps the space at a pre-set humidity level. It is also fitted with a timer, which automatically turns the appliance on or off.

Cautions before use

• For indoor use only.

• Always keep the unit in vertical position. If the device is not stable and upright,, water from the tank can get into the interior of the device and damage something or cause a dangerous situation!

• Before moving, cleaning or perform maintenance on the unit, first switch off, then unplug and empty the water tank. Pull on the plug to remove from the socket, never pull on the cord.

• Leave the unit to stand for one hour before connecting to the mains supply after transport or when it has been tilted (max. 45°, e.g. during cleaning).

• Keep air-intake or output openings clean and unobstructed. Prevent foreign objects or fingers from entering the equipment via the venting or exhaust openings as this may lead to electric shock, fire or damage.

• The supply voltage and utility frequency, specified on the machine, need to match those of  the socket that is used. The electrical installation needs to be protected by an earth leakage circuit breaker (max. 30 mAmp). Only connect the equipment to an earthed socket!

• Fully extend the cord before plugging in. Do not run the cord underneath carpeting; do not cover it with mats, carpet strips, or similar and make sure it is not placed in any passageways. Make sure the cord cannot be stepped on and that no furniture is placed on top of it. Prevent that the cable gets hot. Do not lead the cord around sharp corners and do not roll it up too tightly after use!

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an approved service representative or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Never use the plug to start and stop the unit. Always use switch on the control panel.

• Don’t use bug sprays or other flammable cleaners on the unit. Do not expose the device to the influence of chemicals.

• Never pour or spray water over the unit. Never immerse the appliance in water or place it in the immediate vicinity of water or taps etc.

• Never place the appliance in the vicinity of highly inflammable and/or hazardous substances.

• Do not stand or sit on the appliance, or put anything on it.

• Regularly remove the water that is collected in the reservoir in the prescribed manner.

• Do not use the appliance in small, closed spaces such as a toilet etc., this can cause a fire.

• Do not turn on the appliance if you have discovered damage to the appliance, cord or plug,if the appliance is malfunctioning, if it has been dropped or if there are signs of any other defect. Immediately disconnect the plug from the socket and return the complete product to the vendor or to a certified electrician for inspection and/or repair. Always ask for original parts.

This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air through the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling elements (evaporator). Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense. This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried air then passes through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room at a slightly elevated temperature. Your health and possessions thrive best in a humidity between 45% and 65%.

Position
Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned, so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home.

Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point.
When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that there is a minimum of 20 cm (8″) of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow.
If you move the unit, it should first be switched off and the water tank emptied.
We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the unit is sufficiently close to a fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use am extension lead, use one with earthing and please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable is at least 1,5 mm2. Don’t place the device near a heater, stove or other heat source, and not in full sunshine.

When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed when necessary for most efficient use. However, do not use the device in a sealed or very small space.

Operating

Control panel Drybest 10:

• A. On/Off button
• B. Timer button
• C. Fan speed button
• D. Air humidity higher button
• E. Air humidity lower button
• F. Clean dryer button

Control panel Drybest 20:

1. Power lamp
2. Timer lamp
3. “Water reservoir full” lamp
4. “Fan low” lamp
5. “Fan high” lamp
6. “Clean dryer” lamp
7. Compressor lamp

Display:

The display normally shows the air humidity in the space.

• If you set a required humidity, it will show the set air humidity for a few seconds.
• If you set a switching on or off time with the timer, the display will show the set number of hour for a few seconds.
• If the air humidity is less than 35%, it will show “LO” (low)
• If the air humidity is higher than 95%, it will show “HI” (high)

Initial operation

1. Insert the plug into an appropriate socket, in accordance with the specifications on the type plate. Only connect the appliance to an earthed socket! (DryBest 10: the “comp” lamp (7) flashes, DryBest 20 The Power lamp (1) flashes).

2. Press the ON/OFF button (A); you will hear the compressor and the fan start up (the “comp” lamp c.q. the “power” lamp will now light up continuously). The appliance will start working. The display will show the air humidity in the space. By pressing the ON/OFF button again, you will switch the appliance off (the “comp” lamp c.q. ‘power’ lamp will flash again).

3. Open the air outlet and set the airflow direction.

4. Using the “Higher” and “Lower” buttons (D&E), you can now set the required air humidity between 30% and 90% (at intervals of 5%). The display will show the set air humidity for a few seconds, afterwards the current air humidity will be shown. Once the required level has been reached (± 2%), the compressor will stop, the fan will stop 3 minutes later. If the air humidity rises once more to more than 3% above the set value, the appliance will start again. The compressor has a time lag of at least 3 minutes protection time between stopping and starting.
   If you set the air humidity with the “Lower” button to “Co”, the appliance will operate continuously.

5. Using the Timer button (B), you can set starting and stopping times for the appliance. To do this, press the Timer button (B); lamp (2) will light up. If you do this while the appliance is not in operation (but with the plug in the socket), you will set the starting time; if you do this while the appliance is in operation, you will set the stopping time. The number of hours set will appear on the display. Each time you press the “Timer” button, an hour will be added (setting from 1 to 24 hours). You can cancel the timer setting by setting the time to 0 (0 comes after 24). The time setting is “forgotten” when you switch the appliance off manually, but is kept in memory if the appliance stops because the reservoir is full or during the thawing process.

6. DryBest 20: Pressing the fan speed button changes the fan speed from high to low and back. The lamp indicates the operational capacity.

7. DryBest 20: Pressing the clean dryer button will continually dehumidify the appliance at a high fan speed.

8. Make sure that you then remove the plug from the socket after use.

Drainage
While the water tank is full, the compressor will stop for self-protection and the water full indicator will turn on and A tone will sound 15 times to warn the user that the reservoir needs emptying. To do this, press the sides of the reservoir lightly with both hands, and pull it carefully and straight out of the appliance.
.After empting the water tank, place the water tank into space.
Please note: in case, the water tank has not been positioned well, the water full indicator keeps burning. The equipment does not work.

Attention!

• Do not remove the float from the reservoir. No full reservoir signal will then be given and water will be able to leak out of the tank.
• If the reservoir is dirty, clean it with cold or lukewarm water.
• Don’t ever use volatile chemicals, scouring pads, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated clothes, or other cleansing solutions. This can damage the tank and cause leaks.

Continuous drainage

When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will require more frequent drainage. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous drainage with the following procedures:

1. Pull out the water tank.
2. Connect an appropriate tube (gardenhose or something like that) with a clamp on the drain pipe. Please note: the water tube is not supplied with the unit.
3. Put the water tank back to its position and lead the tube through the opening for continuous drainage down into a drain or a big container. Please note: in case, the water tank has not been positioned well, the water full indicator will turn into red. The equipment does not work
4. Ensure the water will always drain away freely and the tube will remain in right place. Note! In very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to prevent the water tube from freezing.

Thawing
If the appliance is operating at a low temperature, the evaporator can freeze. This will influence dehumidification. In that case the operation of the appliance will be automatically interrupted and it will start to thaw (the fan will continue turning). (DryBest 10: the “defrost” lamp will light up, DryBest 20 does not have a lamp, but does thaw automatically.

Protection of the compressor
If you have switched the appliance off (or if it has switched itself off), then it cannot be switched on again for 3 minutes, this is to protect the compressor.

Maintenance

Always unplug the unit from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning of the unit.

Cleaning the body
Use a soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Don’t ever use volatile chemicals, gasoline, detergents, chemically treated clothes, or other cleansing solutions. These all could possibly hurt the cabinet.

Cleaning the filter

• Extract the filter holder.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly for easy cleaning. If the filter is particularly dirty, use warm water (max. 40°C) with a small amount of a mild detergent.
• Make sure the filter is completely dry before replacing. Do not expose the filter to sunlight.
• Never use the appliance without a filter!

The appliance (incl. cord and plug) may only be opened and/or repaired by properly authorised and qualified persons.

Storage
If not use the unit for an extended period of time. Please:

• Press the unit off, unplug and tidy AC cord.
• Completely empty the water tank and wipe it clean.
• Clean the filter.
• Cover the unit and store it in a cool and dry place, where it will not receive direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

The unit does not operate:

• Is the unit plugged in?
• Is the house electricity on?
• Is the room temperature below 5°C or above 35°C? If so, then it is out of the working range of the unit.
• Check the water tank is positioned properly in the unit and it is not full.
• Make sure the air inlet and outlet are not obstructed.

The unit seems to do little:

• Is the filter dusty, contaminated ?
• Is the air intake or outlet blocked up?
• Is the room humidity already quite low?
• Are too many windows or doors open?
• Is there something in the room producing lots of humidity?

The unit is leaking:

• Make sure the unit and the watertank are not damaged and don’t show cracks or deformations.
• Is the machine is stable and perfectly horizontal?

The unit is too noisy:

• Check whether the unit is sitting on a level, flat and solid surface.
• Is the filter dusty, contaminated ?

Warm air from the air outlet is normal. The circulation of the refrigerant can also make some noise during start and stop.
For other problems, please contact your service facility. The appliance (incl. cord and plug) may only be opened and/or repaired by properly authorised and qualified persons.
