Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Ti s
• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be
30 cm
• Keep the filters or grills of the unit clean. Under normal conditions, filters or grills
should only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately).
Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe necessary,
depending on the air quality. Vacuum and wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water
and dry them before placing them back in the unit.

save energy, do not open windows or doors while the unit is running. Place the
unit on a hard / flat surface. On first use run the unit continuously for 24 hrs on
continuous mode.
To reduce noise levels:
Place a piece of carpet or a rubber mat under the unit to reduce any vibrations
while the unit is running.
ElectrIQ PRO dehumidifiers make use of compressor technology to extract
water from the environment. The compressor dehumidifiers are ideal for
normal domestic, office or commercial applications in heated spaces during
the winter months and they operate very economically when temperatures
are above 12-15⁰C.
PD30E / PD45E are easy to move around on castors. They are intelligent
dehumidifiers which will extract unwanted humidity while saving money
due to their humidistat and power saving logic. ElectrIQ Pro range of
dehumidifiers features adjustable humidistat in increments of 10% from
40-70% RH insuring your space is not dried too much and power is not
wasted.

O eration Reference Guide
Power Key (5) Press to turn the dehumidifier ON or OFF
Humidity Settings Key (1) can set the target humidity level within a range of 40%
RH (Relative Humidity) to 70% RH in 10% increments. Respective target humidity
indicator light (6) will be lighten. Compressor will work until desired humidity is
measured than will stop unit working economical fan mode only. The fan will move
the air around the room ensuring the entire air in the room is processed and
humidity correctly measured.
Ideal domestic / office environment settings are 50-60%. For drier air/ laundry
mode press the key and set to a lower percent value (e.g. CNT or 40%).
For allowing more moisture in the air, press the humidity control key and set to a
higher percent value (e.g. 60-70%).
The humidity control key will cycle from 40 to 70% RH and back to CNT.
CNT Continuous/ Laundry Mode: for the dehumidifier to operate continuously with
humidistat disabled with maximum water extraction until the tank is full set the humidity
level CNT. Note that is permanent drainage pipe is fitted the unit will not stop operation.
Humidity set to 40% RH; set to achieve room humidity of around 40% good for quick drying
boost on initial run or emergencies, not recommended for long normal operation in
domestic/ office environment
Humidity set to 50% RH; recommended setting, great for domestic operation and dry
storage
Humidity set to 60% RH; great for personal comfort and applications where 50% RH is
considered too dry
Humidity set to 70% RH; ideal for unoccupied properties or where economical run is needed
without the need to go drier than 70% RH
Timer (9) key enables 0-24 hours stopping timer. This will remain
unaffected if unit goes in defrost mode. To cancel start press the timer key (9)
function until timer is canceled. hen selecting '4 hours' for example the unit will
stop operating after 4 hours with selected humidity / fan settings. Tank full before
the selected time will stop the unit. This setting is ideal for drying laundry. No
selection made will mean the unit operates continuously subject to tank full
stopping the unit earlier. Combined with any other settings select the
key to achieve the balance between highest amount of humid air being
processed (high air low - fan light on HI) and quiet operation (low fan speed -
fan light on LO)
Intelligent dehumidification and ower saving
Your ElectrIQ dehumidifier features an intelligent micro CPU that ensure maximum water
extraction with minimum power use for the selection made.

unit will go in defrost mode.
hen the unit is running in a room with temperature between 5⁰C and 12⁰C unit
may enter the defrost mode about once every 30 minutes.
hen the unit is running in a room with temperature between 12⁰C and 20⁰C, unit
may enter the defrost mode about once every 45 minutes.
Normal operation will resume after defrost mode. e advise not to use the unit in
unheated rooms where temperature can go close or below 5⁰C as the evaporator
at the back of the unit may freeze and damage the unit.
Humidistat control and fan/ com ressor o eration
hen the selected humidity is lower by than the user selected humidistat setting;
the dehumidifier’s compressor will be shut off automatically but the fan will still
move to ensure air is not stale in the room. The unit will use only a minimal
amount of energy in fan mode.
hen the humidity is going back to being equal or higher than user selected
humidity the compressor will restart once the 3 minutes delay compressor
protection expires.
Power
After the unit has stopped, it is not recommended to resume operation in the first
at least 10 minutes. This is to protect the compressor. Operation can resume after
this period lapse. hen the unit is restarted there is a 3 minutes delay before
