DEHUMIDIFIER SETUP AND USE
Place the dehumidifier in an upright position on a stable, flat surface.
Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away from a wall or furniture.
Please keep clothes at a safe distance of 30cm away from the air inlet or outlet to prevent water from dripping into the
unit.
En
sure the tank is correctly fitted, if the tank is full or is not in place, the “Empty Tank” light comes on, an alarm will
sound and the dehumidifier will turn off.
Press the Power button.
Select the Mode that you want to use the dehumidifier in, for most a
pplications this will be the “Normal” mode. For
more detail refer to page five.
To turn off press the on/Off button again.
Where to position the dehumidifier
For best results position the dehumidifier somewhere central like a landing or a hallway. As long as the internal doors
are open the moisture will migrate naturally towards the dehumidifier to be processed.
To dry washing it is best to put the dehumidifier into a small room with some heating on. Close the door and windows
and use the dehumidifier in
“Laundry” mode. Hang the clothes so that they are not touching each other and so that air
can circulate between the clothes. Ensure that water does not drip onto the dehumidifier.
Amount of water collected
When you first use your dehumidifier it will wo
rk harder to reduce the room humidity down to 60%rh (in “Normal”
mode). This is the time when it will produce the most water and need emptying most frequently. As the room
becomes dryer the dehumidifier collects less water and takes longer to fill the tank, this is perfectly normal. When the
target relative humidity has been reached the dehumidifier will stop collecting water, again this is normal.
If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you need to dry the air further then us the
“Maximum”
mode. This might well be necessary if you have single glazed windows or if the outside air temperature drops towards
freezing.
To operate safely
Do not insert small objects into the unit or this will damage it and cause a hazard.
Do not remove the tank when the dehumidifier is running or water may leak.
Minimum operating condition 5°C at 50%rh relative humidity.
ATTENTION !
Never use the device with a damaged power cord, plug, cabinet or control panel. Never trap the power cord or
allow it to come into contact with sharp edges.
Failing to follow the instructions may lead to the guarantee becoming void.
