Auto-on/off functions.
WATER TANK OPERATION
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and, by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and
operation of the dehumidification process.
When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the float switch actuator (inside the tank)
breaks contact with the safety switch. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor
system, preventing moisture from being condensed.
Note: On some models, the fan will continue to run for approximately 2-3 minutes after the unit has stopped and
the bucket has been removed. As a result, water may drip from the tray onto the base of the unit, and then onto
the floor. Please ensure that you protect your wood and carpet from such leakage.
IMPORTANT
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system. Proper installation
of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifier operation.

AS - Humidity sensor error -- Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service.
ES - Temperature sensor error -- Unplug the unit and plug it back in. If error repeats, call for service.
P2 - Bucket is full or the bucket is not in correct position -- Empty the bucket and/or adjust it to the proper position.
EC - Please ensure that the room ambient temperature matches the recommended operating temperature for the unit,
5°C (41°F) - 35°C (95°F). If the temperature is within this range, call for service.
ERROR CODES
Note: Depending on the humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifier may not start automatically
when the “on/off” button is pressed (see dehumidifying mode instructions for details).
Memory Setting: Each time the unit is disconnected / re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure, the electronic
circuit board automatically defaults to the last program setting that was used. After the unit has stopped, it may take sev-
eral minutes before operating conditions resume.
Auto-restart: If the unit shuts off unexpectedly due to a power outage, it will restart with the previous function settings
automatically when the power resumes.
Bucket Full Indicator Light: When the bucket is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the bucket full light
will turn on and remain on until the bucket is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned. This condition will result in the imme-
diate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operation are terminated). This is a safety
feature. When the bucket is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifier will resume operation automatically.
NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
Auto-defrost: When frost builds on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until
the frost disappears.

DEHUMIDIFYING
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifier will help to protect your home and valued
possessions from damage due to swelling caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier removes moisture from
air as moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained, and
collected inside an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned into
the room environment is elevated several degrees causing the surrounding air temperature to increase (slightly). This
process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
Note: For optimal performance, ensure that the unit is set at least 10% lower than the relative humidity level. It is normal
for the humidity to vary by 5% above or below the set humidity. It is recommended that in normal conditions, the humidity
be set at 40-45%.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE INSTRUCTIONS
When the unit is first connected to the electrical outlet, the (green) power light will not light up until the “on/off” button is
pressed. When the “on/off” button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidifier automatically defaults to:
Display: Current ambient room humidity (RH%)
Humidity Setting: 40% RH
Fan Speed: High.
Note: Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifier may not start automatically
under the default setting (this is an indication that the humidity level of the surrounding environment is lower than the
“default” setting of 40% RH). Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through each of the different dehumidifier settings
35%-55% until the “humidistat” (sensor) recognizes conditions that will allow the unit to operate.
Dehumidifying Mode Selection:
1. The unit enters dehumidify mode when the ON/OFF button is pressed.
2a. Press the + / - buttons to select a desired RH operating value (35%-85%).
OR
2b. Press the continuous button. When continuous mode is selected, the humidistat (sensor) will be by-passed and the
compressor will operate non-stop regardless of humidity conditions.
Fan Speed Selection:
3. You can choose a fan speed (normal/turbo) using the keypad. The speed you select is identified by the (illuminated)
indicator light located directly above the selection made.

Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter. This filter is located at the front of the unit (behind the air intake grill)
directly above the water tank compartment. The air filter plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/
dirt particles from the surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air filter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on
operating efficiency. To maintain maximum operating efficiency, the filter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2
weeks). More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
1. There are two options depending on your model. Option A: Grasp the filter handle, and pull the filter out. The filter will
slide out easily (Fig. 2). Option B: Remove the bucket and pull the filter downwards.
2. Clean the filter thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner or wash using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly
before re-installing.
3. To re-install the air filter, slide the filter back inside the tracks and push inward.
4. Press the reset filter button.

Fig.2

There are two ways to remove collected water:
1. Use the bucket
When the unit is off and the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8 times, the
bucket full indicator light will flash, and the digital display shows P2.
When the unit is on and the bucket is full, the compressor turns off and
the fan turns off after drying the water off the condenser for 30 seconds.
The unit will then beep 8 times and the bucket full indicator light will
flash, and the digital display shows P2.
To empty the full bucket, slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and
right handles securely, and carefully pull it straight out so water does
not spill. Do not put the tank on the floor because the bottom of the
bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause water to spill.
Discard the water and return the bucket to the unit. The bucket must
be placed and properly positioned for the dehumidifier to operate. The
machine will restart when the bucket is restored in its correct position.
Note: When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of
the unit. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the bucket
gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or
failing to push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate. When
you remove the bucket, if there is some water inside the unit you must
dry it. The power button flashes when the bucket is not properly in
place.
2. Continuous draining:
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the
unit to an ID ≥5/16” water hose with a OD:M=1 male threaded end (not
included, a standard garden hose works well). Install the drain hose
onto the adaptor A (see B1). The adaptor is found in the accessory bag
located in the bucket. Remove the plastic cover from the back drain
outlet of the unit and set it aside. Remove the bucket, then insert the
drain hose through the drain outlet of the unit and securely press it into
the connector on the front of the unit (see B2 and B3).
Tighten the adaptor A and the unit by using two screws (found in the
bucket). Install the female threaded end of the water hose into the adap-
tor A (see B4), then lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable
drainage facility. Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Di-
rect the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that
will stop the water from flowing. Place the end of the hose into the drain
and make sure the end of the hose is level or declining to let the water
flow smoothly. Place the bucket back in the unit and make sure that it is
located correctly. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on
the unit for continuous draining to start.

1. Clean the grill and case
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do
not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an
electric shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit
to rust. The air intake and outlet grills become dirty easily, so use a
vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mil-
dew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a
small amount of mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty
and rinse. Note: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After
cleaning, the bucket must be placed and properly positioned for the
dehumidifier to operate.
3. Clean the air filter
Remove and clean the filter every two weeks based on normal op-
erating conditions. Remove the filter from the top of the unit (option
A), or you can choose to remove the bucket and then pull the filter
downwards (option B). Wash the filter with clean water, then dry.
Re-install the filter, replace the bucket (option B). Press the “reset
filter” button.
Caution: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter be-
cause dirt and lint will clog it and affect performance.

ations éventuelles qui peuvent se produire. La ou les personnes qui installent, entretiennent ou utilisent l’appareil doivent
faire preuve de précaution et de prudence. Si vous n’installez pas, n’entretenez pas ou n’utilisez pas l’appareil conformé-
ment aux instructions du fabricant, il peut se produire des situations présentant des risques de blessures corporelles, de
dommages à l’unité ou autres dommages matériels. Communiquez avec votre concessionnaire, votre représentant ou le

Afin de réduire le risque d'incendie, de choc électrique ou de blessures, tout le câblage et toute la mise à la masse
doivent se conformer à la dernière édition des codes d'électricité locaux et nationaux.
• Il incombe au client de faire vérifier le câblage et les fusibles par un électricien qualifié pour s'assurer que l'alimentation
électrique disponible est appropriée.
• Cet appareil est conçu pour fonctionner avec un circuit bien mis à la masse, à branchement séparé, polarisé, à trois fils
de 120 volts et 60 hertz (courant alternatif). Ce circuit doit être protégé par un fusible de 15 ampères, un fusible équivalent
ou un coupe-circuit. La fiche à trois broches mise à la masse sur le cordon d'alimentation doit être branchée directement
dans la prise susmentionnée de puissance nominale 110/120 V (c.a.).
• Ne branchez pas le déshumidificateur à une prise femelle multiple qui sera également utilisée pour d'autres appareils

ÉLECTRIQUE
Le mauvais branchement d'un conducteur mis à la masse d'équipement peut résulter dans un risque de choc électrique.
Vérifiez avec un électricien ou un technicien qualifié si vous n'êtes pas certain que les prises de vos appareils sont bien
mises à la masse.
Cet appareil doit être mis à la masse. En cas de mauvais fonctionnement ou de panne, la mise à la masse réduira le
risque de choc électrique en offrant un circuit avec le moins de résistance au courant électrique. Cet appareil est équipé
d'un cordon électrique avec un conducteur et une fiche à trois broches mis à la masse. La fiche doit être branchée dans
une prise bien installée et mise à la masse conformément aux codes et ordonnances locaux.
• Ne modifiez pas la fiche livrée avec cet appareil. Si elle ne s'adapte pas à la prise, faites installer une prise adéquate par
un technicien qualifié.
• Si l'alimentation électrique de votre maison ne satisfait pas aux spécifications susmentionnées ou si vous n'êtes
pas certain que votre maison a une mise à la terre efficace, demandez à un technicien qualifié ou à une compagnie
d'électricité de le vérifier et de rectifier tous les problèmes.
