WELCOME
Thank you and congratulaons for choosing an EcoSeb dehumidier to help you improve the air
quality within your home. Inside you will nd many helpful ps on how to use and maintain your
dehumidier eciently. Just a lile preventave care can save you money and prolong the life of
your dehumidier.
The purpose of the dehumidier is to remove the excess moisture in the air by detecng the humidity
level in the room. By keeping humidity within recommended levels, a dehumidier combats
household damp, mould and mildew. Dehumidiers can help to reduce the symptoms of asthma,
allergies, and other respiratory health condions. They can also be used to help dry laundry quicker
and control moisture-based damage (such as the aermath of ooding, leaks or rising damp) to
valuable belongings and furniture.
HUMIDITY GUIDE
There will always be water vapour in the air. The water vapour (or commonly known as moisture) in
the air is measured in % Relave Humidity (RH). RH is the rao of the actual amount of water vapour
in the air to the amount it could hold when saturated expressed as a percentage. Too much or too
lile moisture in our homes can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The opmum humidity level is
between 40% and 60% (RH) where we feel most comfortable.
LOW HUMIDITY
Low humidity indoors causes excess drying which can trigger skin irritaons such as eczema, chapped
skin and dry nose. It can also damage possessions, such as wooden furniture, musical instruments
and artwork by drying it out too much.
HIGH HUMIDITY
High humidity indoors causes damp and condensaon. The damp le by condensaon can damage
plaster, wall paper, furniture, vehicles, mber windows, doors and clothes. It can be harmful to our
health when bacteria thrives, causing mould and fungus.
MAINTAINING SAFE LEVELS OF HUMIDITY
It is important to maintain a consistent humidity range to preserve furniture, painngs, door and
window frames. High humidity causes swelling, corrosion, soening of glues and paint. Low
humidity causes shrinking, cracking, warping of wood surfaces and gaps in joints, doors and windows.
Frequent changes in humidity levels can accelerate damages to property and belongings.
CONDENSATION
The warmer the air, the more moisture the air can hold than colder air. So, when the air inside the
house becomes colder, the moisture contents in the air becomes saturated, and gets heavier
resulng in moisture concentraon on the coldest parts of the house parcularly on the windows,
bathroom mirrors and walls. This is condensaon, caused by a sudden increase in humidity, cooking,
showers, drying clothes, inadequate venlaon and poor thermal insulaon.
Condensaon does not disappear instantly even with the dehumidier on. Where excessive
condensaon appears for example, on your windows, you may want to open your windows to expel
the excess humidity for several minutes. It will take a while for the condensaon to generally
increase the humidity in the room. Once the humidity level in the room around the dehumidier is
increased above the level you have set on the dehumidier, it will then begin the dehumidicaon
process.

QUICK START UP
STEP 1 - WHERE TO POSITION YOUR
DEHUMIDIFIER?
Ensure the unit is a safe distance away from a
wall or furniture, away from direct sunlight.
TIP: Posion the dehumidier in the dampest
room or somewhere central like a landing or a
hallway. As long as the internal doors are open
the excess moisture from all of the rooms in
the house will migrate naturally towards the
dehumidier and be processed.
STEP 2 - CAUTION - AVOID USING IN
Small conned area i.e. broom cupboard,
boiler room, unvenlated rooms etc.
Close proximity to a heat source such as
heater, tumble dryer, cooker.
Dusty or building sites or an industrial
environment where parcles can clog up the
lter or internal components. This will cause
the unit to malfuncon, voiding your
guarantee.
STEP 3 - ON/OFF
TO
OPERATE
UNIT
Place the unit in an upright
posion on an even level surface.
Plug the unit into the mains
socket.
Turn the humidity stat dial
clockwise to select desired
mode. (Power ON indicator
lights up)
Turn an-clockwise to switch the
unit OFF.
STEP 4 - DRY/LAUNDRY MODE
Low
Select to keep the room at a
comfortable level
Dries the air to approximately
70% RH and stops dehumidifying.
Medium
Select to run in Medium mode
Dries the air to approximately
50% RH and stops dehumidifying.
Important: Once you reach desired
RH, switch from MEDIUM to LOW
for energy savings.
High
Select High mode to quickly control
high levels of humidity
Dries the air to approximately
40% RH and stops dehumidifying.
Important: Once you reach desired
RH, switch from HIGH to MEDIUM
for energy savings.
Laundry
Use for drying clothes. The
dehumidier will connuously dry
the air unl the sengs are
changed manually. It typically
takes 2 – 4 hours to dry your
laundry.

STEP 5 - ECONOMY/TURBO MODES
Economy
Select this mode for maximum
energy saving and quiet operaon.
Use this mode for normal daily
use.
Highly recommended for night
Turbo
Select this mode for rapid
dehumidicaon.
For quick drying, turn humidistat
clockwise to the end and slide
switch to TURBO.
Tip: Once you reach desired RH,
switch from TURBO to ECONOMY for
energy savings.
TIP: Avoid using the Turbo mode for normal
daily use. You may use to dry very damp rooms
over 2 – 3 days and then switch to the
recommended Economy mode.
STEP 6 - CHECK LIGHT
Lights up when water tank is full
or not properly inserted.
Water
Full/Check
Indicator
Filter needs cleaning.
Dehumidier needs to cool
down. Switch OFF and leave for
30 minutes and turn on again.
This is normal.
In low humidity or temperature
condions.
In high temperature condion
over 95°F or low temperature
below 34°F
TIP: When the check light comes on, remove
the plug from the socket. Move the
dehumidier to another room aer it cools
down or when condions allows, follow Steps 1
and 3.
USEFUL INFORMATION
Aer turning the dehumidier OFF, DO NOT
remove the power plug from the power
socket immediately; allow the unit to cool
down for a minimum 5 minutes to help
protect the internal components.
When you rst use your dehumidier it will
work harder to reduce the room humidity to
it's target. This is the me when it will
produce the most water and need emptying
most frequently. As the room becomes drier
the dehumidier collects less water.
Once the power is restored aer a power
failure, the dehumidier will connue to
operate at the selected sengs prior to the
power failure.
USEFUL INFORMATION
When you rst use the dehumidier and
periodically thereaer you may noce a
smell coming from the dehumidier. This is
caused by the Zeolite desiccant material and
is NOT a sign that the dehumidier is faulty,
nor is it harmful to humans or pets.
The Zeolite absorbs odours from items such
as cigarees, cosmecs, hair sprays, building
materials and new furniture and then when
the desiccant is heated the smell is
discharged into the room. (This smell has
been described as being like a burning smell
or a sour smell). This is normal and will NOT
last long, nor is it a sign of a fault.

Clean the water tank with clean water if needed. Do not use detergent, solvent, abrasive
or hot water to avoid damaging the dehumidier.
Do not remove or damage the oat in the water tank or the unit will not operate properly.
The Water Full light indicator illuminates if the water tank is not correctly in posion.
Do not lt the dehumidier when removing the water tank.
You may use a hose with an inner diameter of 7/16” for connuous drainage:
Use a screwdriver to remove the knockout at the back. Aach the hose to the connector
through the hole.
The hose must lead to an appropriate drain at a downward slope with no sharp bends.
NOTE:
Ensure the water tank is well ed in posion before inserng the hose.
Before removing the water tank, ensure that the hose is disconnected.
