DRIZAIR 1200 User manual

Use and Operation
SETTING UP A DRYING AREA
Use in an enclosed space
You should operate DrizAir dehumidifiers in an enclosed area, as this creates a drying chamber. Close all doors,
windows or areas that open to the outside to maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Also, keep traffic though
the drying chamber to a minimum.
How to position the DrizAir dehumidifier
• Place your DrizAir dehumidifier in the middle of a room away from walls and contents
• Keep it away from anything that could prevent airflow into and out of the unit.

Managing Temperature Rise
DrizAir dehumidifiers warm the air as they remove moisture. Optimal drying temperatures range from 68-85°F (20-29°C).
OPERATING YOUR DRIZAIR DEHUMIDIFIER
Setup: Place dehumidifier upright. If you transport a DrizAir dehumidifier in a horizontal position, set it upright (vertical)
for at least 30 minutes before you turn it on. This is necessary because when the machine is horizontal, the oil from the
compressor flows into the refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the dehumidifier to function.
Locate drainage system: The Evolution LGR pump connects to a plastic drainage hose. On the DrizAir 1200 and 2000,
you’ll find the hose wrapped around the air outlet located on the back of the unit. On the 2400, it’s just below the outlet
(see diagrams to left). Unwrap the entire hose (see caution below) and place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket
even outside; anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or contained receptacle for water collection,
check it regularly.
HOW TO USE THE TOUCHPAD CONTROL KEYS
The Touchpad on DrizAir dehumidifiers has one display and four keys. The normal display messages are:
DEHUMIDIFIER OFF CMPRSR DELAY
DEHUMIDIFIER ON PUMP PURGING
TOTAL HRS DEFROST ON
JOB HRS GET SERVICE ERO1
When you first plug in the unit, the touchpad display will cycle continuously through three messages:
DEHUMIDIFER OFF, TOTAL HOURS, and JOB HOURS.
ON-OFF. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the unit on or off. When turning the machine on, usually the
display reads CMPRSR DELAY and performs a numeral count down from a maximum of
60 seconds to 0. The compressor delay gives the machine time to warm up (when needed). If you don’t see a
compressor delay countdown, the machine is ready to go. Once the unit completes
the CMPRSR DELAY, the display reads DEHUMIDIFIER ON, and continues to cycle between TOTAL
HOURS, JOB HOURS and DEHUMIDIFIER ON.
Press the ON-OFF key again to turn the unit off. The display will read DEHUMIDIFIER OFF.
Place dehumidifier upright. If you transport a DrizAir dehumidifier in a horizontal position, set it upright
vertical) for at least 30 minutes before you turn it on.
PURGE. Press the PURGE key to empty water from the pump reservoir. During normal operation, the
pump purges automatically every six minutes, or whenever the reservoir is full. The display will read PUMP
PURGING with a numeral countdown.
To purge the pump manually:
1) Turn the power off using the OFF key, and let the unit sit plugged in for about 10 minutes. This Allows ater
to drip from the coils.
2) Press PURGE to remove residual water.

Defrost cycle
During normal operation, the temperature sensor detects frost forming on the
coils, causing a defrost cycle to start. The display will read DEFROST ON.
Dehumidification stops during the defrost cycle. When the unit completes the
cycle, the display returns to DEHUMIDIFIER ON.
Error messages
When the display menu shows the error message "GET SERVICE," followed
by "ER01" or another numeral, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the unit and then plug it back in. This may re-set the electronics.
2. If that does not fix the problem, try the solution (if one is listed) in the “Error Message Table” to the left.
ER 1,2,3,5,6
Problem with electronic control panel.
ER 4 Check the temperature or sensor cable.
ER 8 Check the touchpad key. Press and release each key several
times.
ER 9 Check for obstructions or kinks in the drain hose.
