WHAT IS A DEHUMIDIFIER?
Your Breville dehumidifier is designed to
reduce and maintain the level of humidity in
the air as well as to prevent condensation and
mildew on the ceilings and walls.
HOW DOES A DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?
Your Breville dehumidifier regulates the
relative humidity of your home by drawing
moist, humid air from the surrounding area
and passing it over cooled evaporator coils
causing the moisture to condense into water.
The water is dispensed into the water tank or
drainage hose, while the now non-humid air is
re-warmed and passed back into the room.
WHAT IS RELATIVE HUMIDITY?
Relative humidity is the amount of water
vapour in the air and it is commonly expressed
as a percentage of the maximum amount of
water vapour that the air can hold at a given
temperature. A comfortable %RH level is
commonly considered to be between
40-60%RH.

WATER DRAINAGE
During the process of dehumidification, water
is created and needs to be expelled from the
dehumidifier. This dehumidifier offers three
options to drain the water.
REMOVABLE WATER TANK
(with Empty Me warning)
The removable water tank will collect water
until it reaches the water level sensor when the
tank is full. Once full, the EMPTY ME light
on the control panel will illuminate red and the
dehumidifier will cease dehumidification until
the water tank is emptied.
1. Remove the water tank as per the water tank
cleaning instructions in the Care, Cleaning &
Storage section of this book.
NOTE
The dehumidifier will not operate if the tank
is not installed correctly, even if the drainage
hose is in use.
WARNING
Water from the dehumidifier is not suitable for
drinking. Do not drink this water, and do not
serve it to animals or use to water plants.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
(hose drainage using gravity)
The continuous drainage outlet allows water to
drain without having to monitor and empty the
water tank. Ensure the hose (included) is properly
inserted before starting the dehumidifier.
LAD500_ANZ_IB_C19.indd 10 8/4/19 1:38 pm

11
1. Locate the continuous drainage outlet
on the back, right hand side of the
dehumidifier, underneath the air inlet grille.
Remove the plug and insert one end of the
hose over the connection outlet, pushing in
as far as possible.
Pull out the plug
2. As the drainage is dependent on gravity for
the dehumidifier to drain correctly, no part
of the hose should sit higher than the hose
connection outlet.
3. Place the other end of the hose into a
water drain, being careful that it cannot
inadvertently come loose when water starts
to drain.
4. The water will drain from the dehumidifier
directly through the hose.
WARNING
Ensure the hose is secure in both the hose
connection and the drainage outlet and into
the water drain.
NOTE
Ensure the plug is placed back onto the
continuous drainage outlet securely when
continuous drainage is not in use.
PUMP DRAINAGE
Pump drainage allows the dehumidifier
to empty the water tank using the hose to
pump the water out of the tank when full.
This is suitable for homes where there is
a drain available within the vicinity of the
dehumidifier. It is also suitable for homes
that have drainage sources higher than the
dehumidifier, such as a sink drain, as the pump
does not rely on gravity to empty the water
tank. Ensure the hoses (included) are properly
inserted before turning on the dehumidifier.
Note, the pump suction hose can already be
found in the unit, secured in place.
1. Pull the water tank half way out from the
back of the dehumidifier.
2. Ensure that one end of the 20cm pump
suction hose is in the water tank, through
the slot located in the tank lid (see
illustration below) and that it hits the
bottom of the tank.
The pump suction
hose is inserted into
the water.
3. Locate the pump suction joint on the
right hand side between the tank and the
dehumidifier body. Ensure the other end of
the pump suction hose is securely over the
suction joint.
The other end is connected
to the suction joint.
4. Fit the water tank back into the
dehumidifier, ensuring both ends of the
20cm hose piece remain securely in place.
LAD500_ANZ_IB_C19.indd 11 8/4/19 1:38 pm

5. Locate and remove the blue pump outlet
clip from the drainage outlet on the
opposite side of the dehumidifier, and set
aside for later use. Insert one end of the
8m pump drainage hose into the pump
drainage outlet, ensuring the hose is pushed
in as far as possible.
Remove the blue
pump outlet clip
NOTE
Keep the blue outlet pump clip in a safe place
for future use if the pump drainage is no
longer required.
NOTE
If the 8m hose is too long, it can be cut to the
desired length.
6. Place the other end of the drainage hose
into a drainage source such as a bathroom
floor drain or laundry sink.
7. Press the PUMP button to start pump
drainage and the PUMP ON light will
illuminate on the control panel. The pump
will enter standby mode and will only drain
once the water tank is full. The pump will
stop draining after 15 minutes. This cycle
will continue each time the tank is full.
NOTE
If at any time the pump needs to be activated
manually during dehumidification, press and
hold the PUMP button for 5 seconds and
the pump will automatically begin and run for
8 minutes, then turn off.
8. If pump drainage is no longer required,
hold the PUMP button down until
the PUMP ON light is off. Ensure the
dehumidifier is switched off and unplug
from the power outlet.
9. Remove the drainage hose from the rear of
the unit.
10. Replace the blue pump outlet clip, placing
it between the ring and base of the
pump outlet.
DEFROST
This dehumidifier is equipped with an
automatic defrost function. The evaporator
may start auto-defrosting if operating in a
room temperature that is less than 23°C.
1. If the DEFROST light turns on,
defrosting has automatically started. The
fan will operate on HIGH during defrost
and dehumidification will stop.
2. Automatic defrost will operate for up to
5 minutes.
WARNING
Do not disconnect the plug or turn
off the unit during defrost operation.

temperature is too low. The unit may stop operating when the
room temperature is too low. The dehumidifier stops operating
when the humidity level in the room drops below the set
humidity level during the Auto Dehumidification mode.
There is a bad smell while on. • The smell may come from the walls, furniture or other
household objects.
Sound is coming from within the
