• Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F. In temperatures below 41°F, the coils may freeze; leading to a reduction in performance.
• Place the unit on a smooth, level surface, strong enough to support the unit with a full water tank.
• Allow at least 30cm of space above the air outlet (at the back of the unit) for good air circulation. Allow at least 20cm of space on all other sides of the unit for good air circulation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have any issues with our dehumidifier or have any questions, here are some troubleshooting tips that may help you to overcome them.

is not full
• Ensure the power plug is securely connected
• The unit may be defrosting. Please check the defrost indicator light.
• Ensure at least one of the front louvres are open.
• Ensure the water tank is securely in place.
• If the humidity hits 60% or less in Automatic Mode, the unit will switch off.
Water is not being collected| • The filters may be blocked. Please clean as per instructions above.
• Ensure the dehumidifier has enough space around it and that the air openings are not blocked.
• The dehumidifier relies on drawing air in and cooling it on a cold surface to remove the moisture. If the room is too cold, it struggles to activate this function. Increase the room temperature.
Humidity is not changing| • Ensure nothing in the room is giving off moisture (wet clothes, water etc.). Close all doors to any moisture (like a toilet).
• Do not open and close windows as this will let moisture into the room.
• The unit will not dry enclosed spaces if there is not sufficient air circulation as it will simply recycle the air. Ensure there is sufficient circulation.
• Lower the humidity target using the control panel.
The unit is making a strange noise| • Ensure your unit is on a flat surface. Any small incline / decline can result in an unusual noise.
• It is normal for refrigerant to create a sound when the unit starts up. The
sounds should stabilise.
There is a strange smell| • If water is left in the unit for too long, it may go stale and start to smell. Empty and clean the water tank regularly.
• The dehumidifier pulls air in from the room so any room smells can be caught in the unit. Clean the filter and water tank regularly to reduce the smell.
