START OPERATION

1. Place the product in an upright position on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or heat sensitive within 39 in. Operating the product in any other position could cause a hazard.
2. Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket. The dehumidifier is suitable for operating on an electricity supply having the same voltage as that shown on its rating label.
3. Make sure the water tank is correctly located. After switching on the machine for the first time, if the “Bucket Full” light illuminates, pull out the water tank and check that the “float” lever is able to move freely, then return the water tank to the correct position (Fig. 1).

BUCKET FULL LIGHT

• When the water tank is full the machine will stop and the“ Bucket Full” light will illuminate.
• The water tank should be carefully removed from the machine by sliding it outward from the front of the unit and it should be emptied. When the empty tank is replaced properly in the machine, the unit will start up and run normally (Fig. 2).
• NOTE: Please use both hands to carefully empty the water tank

DEFROST

• When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 64.4°F), the surface of the evaporator may accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency of the machine. When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 41°F.The time taken to defrost may vary. If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the room temperature remains below 41°F the machine should be switched off.

DEHUMIDIFYING

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:

• 1) To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.
• 2) Press the humidity button to select a desired RH operating value (30%-90%). FAN SPEED SELECTION: Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection mode.

AIR FILTER

• This dehumidifier features a removable air filter. This filter is located at the back of the unit (behind the air intake grille) directly above the water tank compartment. A blocked/clogged air filter reduces air intake,impacting negatively on operating efficiency.
• After 250 hours s of operation, t he indicator ligh t will glow to remind you to clean the filter. Remove the filter and clean it. Press to turn off the light. See “AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS”.
  • IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.

AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS

• 1) Pull the air filter out gently (Fig.3).
• 2) Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or wash it with clean water and dry with a dry cloth.
• 3) Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.

INSTALLING PVC DRAIN HOSE

• When the water tank is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the water full red light turns on and remains on until such time that the tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned. This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operations are terminated). This is a safety feature. When the water tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifier will resume operation automatically.
  • NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume

CONTINUOUS DRAIN (garden hose not included)

1. To save having to periodically empty the water tank, this unit can be configured for continuous drain. You can use a garden hose to connect to the continuous drain connector.
2. Unscrew and remove the drain cover at the rear of the unit (Fig. A).
3. Remove the soft rubber stopper and place it in the water tank for safe keeping (Fig. B).
4. Ensure the rubber seal ring is properly seated in the end of the hose as shown in Fig. C.
5. Connect the garden hose to the drain port (Fig. D).
6. Tighten the garden hose in a clockwise direction onto the rear of the unit (Fig. D).
7. Place the bucket in its original location (Fig. E).

CONTINUOUS DRAIN USING THE PUMP (Item #0526051 only）

The pump system allows water removal of up to 16 ft in height.

Installation:

• 1) Insert the drain hose fitting into the drain pump connector located on the back of the dehumidifier. (Fig. 1)
• 2) Check that the drain hose fitting has snapped into position. (Fig. 2)

Dismantle:

• To remove the drain hose, turn the knob clockwise 45 degrees and the hose connector will pop out, while pulling the drain hose fitting away from the drain pump connector. (Fig. 3)
