20L DEHUMIDIFIER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Attention: This Dehumidifier is rated to extract 20L per day in an environment of 80% humidity and
temperature of 30°C. This is the world-wide standard for rating dehumidifiers. In NZ we do not have climatic
conditions with this humidity and high temperature. Accordingly this product will not extract 20L per day,
extraction levels will be lower.

Operating your Appliance
Always choose a safe location for the appliance, keeping in mind the safety precautions
outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. This appliance
requires no installation, it should be used solely as a portable appliance.

This dehumidifier is designed to provide optimum performance at 35°C -15°C but it is still effecting down to
5°C. Ultimately the performance of this dehumidifier is dependant on the amount of moisture or water
vapour in the air.
Ensure all external windows and doors are closed before turning on the unit.
AUTOMATIC DEFROST CYCLE
The Dehumidifierwill go into a defrost cycle when the temperature drops below 16°C. Every 25 minutes
the compressorwill stop and the fan will continue to run for 7 minutes. After this, the compressor will turn
back on.
THE EXTERIOR
Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the device is extremely dirty, use a mild cleaning agent. Wipethe
device with a slightly damp cloth. Never spray the device with water.
THE AIR FILTER
When used regularly, the filter may become clogged with dust and particles. Therefore the filter should be
cleaned every two weeks. Follow these steps:
Remove the filter.
Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or with water.
Ensure that the filter is completely dry and put back in place in the Dehumidifier.
Never use the Dehumidifier without the air filter.
Note: Ensure that the filter is completely dry before placing it back into the Dehumidifier. Never use the
Dehumidifier without the Air Filter.
To store the unit, remove the plug from the socket and empty the water container. Allow the container and
the Dehumidifier to dry completely. Clean the air filter. Store the device in a dust-free location, preferably
covered with a sheet of plastic.
Operating your Appliance
Press the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select the desired ambient relative humidity level; you can set
from 30 –90% at 5% increments. If you wish to use the Dehumidifier continuously press the arrow
buttons until “CO” is shown and the Dehumidifier will run until turned off manually or until the water tank is
full.
NOTE: The unit will stop dehumidifyingwhen the actual ambient relative humidity is 2% lower than the
set %. The unit will start to dehumidify again when the ambient relative humidity is 2% higher than the set
%.
Press the LAUNDRY button to activate laundry mode to help dry clothes faster by adding some heat to
the air being blown out. Never place clothes directly on the appliance.Place on a rack at least 1 metre
away from the air outlet.

WHEN THE WATER CONTAINER IS FULL
Abeep signal will sound 15 times. The WATER FULL indicator light will illuminate on the control panel.
The compressor will stop automatically, and the unit will stop dehumidifying.
Empty the water container and replace it in the correct position. If the drainage tank is dirty, wash it with
cold or lukewarm water. Do not use detergent, scouring pads, chemically treated dust cloths, gasoline,
benzene, thinner, or other solvents, as these can scratch and damage the tank and cause water leakage
When replacing the drainage tank, press the tank firmly into place with both hands. If the tank is not
positioned properly, the “TANK FULL” sensor will be activated, and the dehumidifier will not operate.
Do not remove the float from the water tank. The water full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water
level correctly without the float and water may leak from the water tank.
The Dehumidifier will continue dehumidifying when the compressor automatically restarts after
approximately three minutes.
CARE AND CLEANING
The appliance requires regular cleaning to ensure trouble free operation:
Unplug the appliance from the mains supply before cleaning.
Ensure that the appliance has been allowed to cool down completely before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the appliance to remove dust and dirt.
