THE CONTROL PANEL
Power
-
Turns the dehumidifier on and off. When the dehumidifier is turned on the
Drying light is illuminated and the dehumidifier starts in High fan and continuous setting modes.
Drying
-
Lights up when the dehumidifier is dehumidifying.
Empty Tank
-
Lights up when the internal tank is full of water and needs to be emptied or
when the tank is incorrectly fitted. The buzzer will sound 10 times for about 5 seconds and then the
dehumidifier will stop working and only the Empty Tank light will be illuminated.
Defrosting
-
Lights up when the dehumidifier is deicing. This is more common when
the dehumidifier is being used below 16°C, the dehumidifier will stop drying for about 7 minutes whilst
it defrosts and will then dehumidify for the next 25 minutes before defrosting again.
Mode
-
Press the Mode button to toggle between the following settings.
Laundry
-
Use this mode when you want to dry washing. For optimum performance
place the dehumidifier in as small a room as possible with the door and windows closed. The
dehumidifier will dry continuously to try to achieve a relative humidity of about 35%rh which will help
to dry the washing efficiently. This is most effective when used in conjunction with the High fan
speed.
Take care to ensure that the dehumidifier does not become covered by the washing and that no water
drips onto the dehumidifier.
Maximum
-
Runs the dehumidifier until a relative humidity of 40%rh is achieved and
then switches the unit off.
Normal
-
Aims to achieve a relative humidity of 60%rh which will be fine for most
household applications. To prevent condensation on single glazed windows or when the outside
temperature drops below about 5°C you should use Maximum instead of Normal.
Minimum
-
Not recommended for the majority of applications as it only controls the
relative humidity to 80%rh and this is not enough to prevent condensation or the build-up of mould.
