General Care and Safety Guide

Operating your Appliance
CONTROLS
Press or button to set the desired
humidity level in the room, which can be set
from 30%to 90%at 5% intervals or on ‘CO’ for
continuous dehumidification.
Once the room’s humidity is lower than the
selected humidity by 2%, the compressor will
stop and the fan stops working 3 minutes later;
When environmental humidity is equal to or
higher than the selected humidity by 3%, the
compressor will restart.
TIMER
The timer can be set to turn the unit On or Off.

WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or
risk of fire, do not cover the appliance.
WARNING: Never leave this appliance
unattended when in use.
WARNING: Do not use this appliance with a
programmer, remote-control system, separate

appliance on automatically.
Note: When the appliance is turned on for the
first time, it may release a slight odour. This
odour is a normal occurrence caused by the
initial starting of the unit and should not occur
again.
Leave the appliance to stand for one hour after
transport or after the unit has been on its side
before connecting it to the mains supply to let the
refrigerant settle.
Ensure that the water container is positioned
correctly.
Ensure all external windows and doors are closed
before turning on the unit.

mains. The dehumidifier will display the current
humidity level on the control panel. The POWER

button.
Always choose a safe location for your 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.
CONTROL PANEL
Note: This dehumidifier is designed to provide optimum performance at 35°C -15°C but it is still effective down to
5°C. Ultimately the performance of this dehumidifier is dependant on the amount of moisture or water vapour in the
air.

1. Remove the
water tank 2. Connect the plastic tube
onto the water
outlet port
Replace the
water tank
Operating your Appliance
WATER TANK FULL
A beep 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 appliance 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 appliance will continue dehumidifying when
the compressor automatically restarts after
approximately three minutes.
PERMANENT WATER DRAINAGE
It is possible to connect a drainage tube (not
supplied) to the unit for permanent water
drainage.
If this option is desired, you will need to
purchase a suitable tube from your local
hardware retailer. (Goldair does not hold tubes
as spare parts).
Ensure that the end of the tube is lower than the
drain opening, otherwise the water will not drain
and flooding may occur. Also ensure the water
tank is in position (in the unit) otherwise the
continuous drainage will not operate.
Place the end of the drainage tube in a drainage
outlet. When you no longer wish to use the
permanent water drainage, disconnect the
drainage tube from the device.
