CARE AND CLEANING
The Dehumidifier requires regular cleaning to ensure
trouble free operation:
Unplug the Dehumidifier from the mains supply
before cleaning.
Use a damp cloth (not wet) to wipe the exterior of the
Dehumidifier to remove dust and dirt.
Never use solutions such as benzene, thinners or
polishing agents.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and fluff from
around the grills.
Ensure the Dehumidifier is dry before plugging back
into the mains supply to charge.
Do not attempt to dismantle the Dehumidifier. There
are no user serviceable parts. For service or repair,
contact an authorised electrical service technician.
WARNING
The Dehumidifier must not be used if the water glass
crystals are out of the unit.
PROOF OF PURCHASE
To receive warranty retain receipt as proof of
purchase. (Refer to back of booklet).
HOW WATERGLASS WORKS
Each unit contains water glass technology crystals.
Water glass has an absorption rate much higher than
traditional soluble humidity absorbing products
Water glass is colourless, odourless and non-toxic.
This unit will not re-release moisture back into the air
until the unit is recharged.
1. Blue Indicator (Free from moisture)
2. Middle (Moisture absorption in progress)
3. Pink Indicator (Full of moisture; Recharge)
4. Wet crystal view window (colour progress check)
5. Power cord
6. Hook attachment
HOW TO USE
When the Dehumidifier is in need of re-charging, the
crystals inside the indicator window will turn from blue
to pink.
To recharge the unit, simply plug into a mains supply,
in a well ventilated area where the excess moisture
can be released and distributed (eg: utility room,
garage).
Leave the unit plugged in overnight for 10-15 hours.
The Dehumidifier will heat up (this is normal) during
the re-charge process. When the drying process is
complete, the crystals inside the indicator window will
turn BLUE, indicating the unit is ready to use again.
At this time turn the power off at the mains supply,
remove the plug from the unit and reposition the
Dehumidifier to the desired location for use.
Depending on the level of moisture in the area, a fully
charged unit will last on average 20-30 days before
recharge will be required (results will vary depending
on the level of humidity).
Always choose a safe location for the Dehumidifier, 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.
