TO OPERATE SAFELY
CAUTION: Do not place the dehumidifier in a broom cupboard,
boiler room, small unventilated rooms etc. Avoid placing the
dehumidifier in small confined areas or in close proximity to a
radiator or heat source such as tumble driers and cookers to
prevent the dehumidifier from overheating.
Do not use this dehumidifier in dusty or industrial
environments where particles can get into the dehumidifier.
This will cause a malfunction and void your warranty.
UNIT SETUP
Place the unit in an upright position on a
stable, level surface. (Please ensure unit
is not sitting on its own cable)
Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away
from walls and furniture (see image on the left).
Please keep clothes at a safe distance of
60cm from air outlet of the unit to prevent
water dripping into the unit.
For best results, position the dehumidifier
somewhere central like a landing or a hallway.
As long as the internal doors are open,
the excess moisture from all of the rooms
in the house will migrate naturally towards
the dehumidifier and be processed.
Do not insert small
objects into the unit as
this will damage it and
cause a hazard.
Do not attempt to remove
the bucket while unit is in
operation to avoid water
leakage.
Maintain safe clearance
space as shown in
Unit Setup.
Ensure bucket is
fitted correctly.

MODE DESCRIPTION
Maintain the room at a comfortable indoor humidity level
Inhibit mould and bacteria growth
Super dry mode to prevent condensation
Suitable in winter to dry clothes faster
The unit automatically provides heated air to dry clothes faster with
higher power consumption.
The heater will continue to operate at the set power level regardless of
the humidity level, unless the ambient temperature becomes too high.
Note: Use this to control a very damp room in the first couple of days and then switch
to 50% or 60% to save energy.
Note: Use this mode for daily normal household use to maintain humidity at a healthy
level of 55%RH (Bacteria and mould will not breed at this level).
Note: Use this mode for maximum energy saving and quiet operation.
Press the "RELATIVE HUMIDITY" button to select your desired humidity level.
For example, if 50% RH is selected, the heater will operate and dehumidification will occur when
the room humidity level is detected at above 50% RH.
Note:
• In Auto power setting, the heater and fan will run on “High” while the humidity level
is above 40% RH. Below 40% RH, the heater and fan will run on “Low”.
• It can take between 2 – 8 hours to dry your laundry, depending on the power level
selected. You may want to utilise the timer when selecting Laundry
mode to avoid excess energy consumption.
• To prevent excess energy consumption, avoid using Laundry mode for normal
daily use. May be used for extreme drying of very damp rooms over 2-3 days
and then switch to one of the three preset humidity levels.

PLEASE NOTE
Smell coming from the dehumidifier
When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might notice
a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material
and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets.
The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odours from items like cigarettes,
cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and then when the
desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room. This smell has been
described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell. It is normal, will not last long
and is not a sign of a fault.
Amount of water collected
When you first use your dehumidifier it will work harder to reduce the room humidity
to it's target of 45-50%RH, this is the time when it will produce the most water and need
emptying most frequently. As the room becomes dryer the dehumidifier collects less
water and runs at a lower fan speed. This is normal. When the target relative humidity
has been reached the air coming out of the dehumidifier will not be heated and it will
only be running in low fan mode. This is because there is no need for dehumidification
at this point and the dehumidifier is sampling the air to check the current relative humidity
to see if dehumidification is required.
If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you need to dry the air
further then using the High fan speed, or the Turbo Laundry mode, will force the
dehumidifier to dry the air further to 40%RH. This might well be necessary if you have
single glazed windows or if the outside air temperature drops to freezing.
