BEFORE FIRST USE
Selecting a location
Important!
1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an
enclosed area to be most effective. Close all
doors, windows, and other outside openings
to the room. The effectiveness of the
dehumidifier depends on the rate at which
new moisture-laden air enters the room.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not
restrict airflow through the front of the unit or
out of the louvres on the left side of cabinet.
3. A dehumidifier operating in a basement will
have little or no effect in drying an adjacent
enclosed storage area, such as a closet,
unless there is adequate circulation of air in
and out of the area. lt may be necessary to
install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed
area for satisfactory drying.
4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level
floor that will support it with a full bucket of
water.
5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches
clearance around the dehumidifier.
How it works
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull
moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying
coils. The coils condense or draw moisture
from the air, and air flows through the side
louvres into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture
removed from air is collected in a bucket on the
front of the dehumidifier.
The unit is designed to operate between
5°C (41°F) and 35°C (96°F). The unit will not
work properly if the temperature is out of this
temperature range, or the performance of the
unit will fall greatly.
The “Compressor” circuit has an automatic 3
minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off
and on quickly.
This prevents overheating of the compressor
and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure
the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not
turn on.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Allow the unit to reach room temperature before
operating. To begin operating the dehumidifier,
follow these steps:
Unit must be upright for one hour prior to
operating.
1. Plug the power cord into a properly
grounded 220 V AC outlet. If the BUCKET
FULL light is on, remove the bucket and re-
install to reset the float switch.
2. To turn the unit on, press the ON/ OFF
button . The unit will run in the factory
setting of CONTINUOUS and high fan
speed. In the CONTINUOUS mode, the
unit will only display CO and not the room
humidity. It is recommended you leave the
unit running in the CONTINUOUS setting for
the first three or four days until the sweating
and dampness odours have stopped.
3. After a few days when the Relative Humidity
has declined, press the HUMIDITY or
buttons to choose a value between 35% to
85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable
humidity. Pressing the or buttons
will change the humidity selection in 5%
increments. After you have set the desired
humidity, the readout will display the actual
room humidity. If at any time you want to
return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing
the HUMIDITY button will lower the
Relative Humidity through the 5% increments
until the display reads CO.
4. You can also use the FAN SPEED button
to change the fan speed to HIGH or LOW.
The indicator light will show the setting you
have selected. A higher fan speed will result
in quicker moisture removal.
5. The CLEAN FILTER light will illuminate after
250 hours of operation. At this time refer
to the care and cleaning section to remove
and clean the filter. Once the filter has been
cleaned and replaced, simply press the
FILTER button to extinguish the light.
6. The TIMER function enables you to either
Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the
choice from 0.5 hour to 24 hours. If the unit
is running, then selecting Timer will turn the
unit off in the hours that will be set (Delay
Stop). If the unit is off, then selecting Timer
will turn the unit on in the hours that will be
set (Delay Start).
TIMER setting:
First press TIMER button , then adjust
timer setting, by tapping or holding the or
button to change the delay timer at 0.5 hour
increments, up to 10 hours, then by 1 hour
increments up to 24 hours. The control will
count down the time remaining (8, 7.5, 7, etc.)
until the unit either starts or stops.

6 www.electroluxaircomfort.com
For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity
maintained will be the same as previous setting.
After TIMER setting finishes, pressing TIMER
button again at any time will stop the TIMER
function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work
until the unit either starts or stops. Once that
happens the above steps have to be repeated.
• Before entering TIMER setting, make sure
power is being supplied to the unit.
• Before entering TIMER setting, make sure
pressing HUMIDITY or button sets one
desired room humidity first.
7. To shut the unit down, press the ON/ OFF
button .
Fault codes
If the display reads “AS” or “ES” , a sensor has
failed. Contact your Authorized Service Center.
Removing collected water
Emptying the Bucket:

7. If the BUCKET FULL light does not
extinguish, check that the float is correctly
snapped in place as indicated by the
diagram.
Continuous drain operation
For continuous drainage operation, you will need
a garden hose and a drain nearby to discharge
the water
1. Unscrew the drain cap on the back side of
the unit. (fig.1)
2. Insert the female threaded end of the hose
onto the drain connector of the unit (fig. 2).
3. Screw the garden hose onto the threaded
portion of the connector. (fig. 3)
4. Make sure all the connection is secure and
there are no leaks.
5. Direct the hose toward the drain, making
sure that there are no kinks that will stop the
water flowing.
6. Place the end of the hose into the drain. (fig.
4)
7. Select the desired humidity setting and fan
speed on the unit for continuous draining to
start.
Important!
1. Check the seal between the hose and the
drain connector. If there is a small leak then
replace the hose gasket and re-tighten the
hose.
2. If the mode of continuous drainage is not
chosen, the drain cap must be screwed
