caused
• Thisunitwillstilloperateforapproximatively3Ͳ4minuteafterpressingthepoweroff
button.Thisisnormalandensuresthedesiccantwheelisdrainedofwater.Avoid
restartingthedehumidifierunitunless5minuteshavepassedsincebeingturnedoff.
• Neverusethemainsplugasaswitchtostartandturnoffthedehumidifier.Usethe

1°Cand32°C.

4
•Donotdrylaundrydirectlyabovetheunit.Topreventwaterenteringthedehumidifier,
laundryshouldbeplacedatleast40cmawayfromyourdehumidifier.
•Donotplacetheunitnexttoheatsources(e.g.electricalfires,fireplaces,etc.)
• Desiccantdehumidifierstendtoabsorbodoursfromthesurroundingenvironmentlike
cigarettes,cooking,cosmetics,newfurnitureetc.Thissmelldescribedasaburningor
soursmell.Thisreleasedduringoperationasthezeolitediscisheatedduring

dehumidifierswhereflammablegasesorVOCcanbereleasedoraccumulate.

EnergySavingandUnitSafetyProtectionTips
•Donotcoverorrestricttheairflowfromtheoutletorinletgrills.
•Formaximumperformancetheminimumdistancefromawallshouldbe20cmandit
shouldbekept50cmfromobjectswithintheroom.
• Keepthefiltersorgrillsoftheunitclean.Undernormalconditions,filtersorgrillsshould
onlyneedcleaningonceeverythreeweeks(approximately).Donotusetheunitwithout
themeshairfilterasthiswillallowdirttogatherinsidethedehumidifierandcould
invalidatethewarranty.Adirtyfilterwillrestricttheairflowintothemachinewhichwill
increasetheresistanceonthefanandcouldresultindamageandmightinvalidatethe
warranty.
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.


Donotdrylaundryabovetheunitto
preventwaterenteringthedehumidifier.
Placethelaundryatleast40cmawayfrom
yourdehumidifier.Directtheunitwith
frontventstowardstheclothesaireror
hangingclothes.Hotdryaircomesfroma
45degreesangle.Laundrymodecanbe
usedinconjunctionwiththestopping

Intelligentdehumidificationandpowersaving
YourElectrIQdehumidifierfeaturesanintelligentmicroCPUthatensuremaximumwaterextraction
withminimumpowerusefortheselectionmade.
Theunitwilltrytomaintainhumiditylevelselectedintheroombyturningofftheheatingelement
whenthedesiredhumidityisreached.Notethataccordingtothespacewheretheunitisused,
obstaclesinthedirectflow,extrahumiditybeingaddedatanytime,settingsselected,aswellasother


OPERATIONALADVICE
1. Plugtopower,pressthepowerbuttontoturnͲonthemachine;pressthepowerbuttonagainto
turnͲoffthedehumidifier.
2. MakesurewaterͲtankisplaced/fittedcorrectly.Ifthewatertankisnotfitted/placedcorrectlythe
'waterfull'light  willflashandthemachinewillnotoperate.
3. Whenthedehumidifierfirststarts,defaulthumiditysettingissetto50%RH.
4. Whenunpluggingfromthewallsocketuseonehandtoholdtheplugandtheotherhandagainst
sockettoavoidpowercorddamage.
WARNING:Usingpoorqualitysockets,extensionsoroverloadingthecircuitsmaycausedamageto
themachineormaystartafire.
5. WhenswitchingOFFthemachine,donotsimplyunplugtheunitfromthesocketͲensureyouturn
offthemachineproperlyandhaveallowedittocompletethedryingcycle(waitforthefantostop),
beforeunplugging.

TiltProtection
YourElectrIQdehumidifierwasdesignedwithsafetyinmind.Whenunitistilteditwillbeshutdownto
minimizesafetyriskordamage.TheOnlightwillflashred,toindicateantitiltprotectionhasactivated.

Iftheunithasbeentilted,pleasedonotuseifforadayortwountiltheinternalsarecompletelydried,as
usingtheunitafterithasbeentiltedcouldresultinashortcircuit,whichwouldinternallydamagetheunit.
Consulttheservicecentreifinanydoubts

