TROUBLESHOOTING ADVICE
Notes
1) When the appliance is first plugged in and switched on only the Fan will be
running, this is normal and continues for about 3 minutes before it will
automatically switch to DEHUMIDIFY operation.(This is a design feature to
improve the reliability of the product.)
2) When the appliance is operating the surrounding air becomes slightly warmer
due to the heating effect of the dehumidifying unit, this is normal and helps to
further reduce the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
3) Before you call for service please check the following typical problem list for a
cause and solution:
