MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the unit
1. Turn off the unit, wait for the fan to stop and unplug from the power socket.
2. Clean the surface with a soft damp cloth.
3. Dry thoroughly with a tower after cleaning.
4. In order to avoid damage, do not wash the machine with water, or let water
drip into the air inlet or outlet.
Cleaning the filter
If the filter is covered with dust, the airflow and the performance of the unit
will be affected. Check the filter periodically to ensure any dust is removed
(It is recommended to check and clean the air filter every 2 weeks or an
appropriate frequency depending on your usage and air environment).
1. Turn off the unit and remove the filter from the unit.
2. Clean the nano-silver filter only with a vacuum cleaner.
(Washing will weaken the germicidal effect of the filter)
3. Replace the filter in position.
Before storing
1. Turn off the unit, wait for it to stop and unplug from the power socket.
2. Clean and dry the bucket. Leave the unit to drain for approximately one day.
3. Clean the filter and the unit. Cover the unit to prevent it from
gathering dust. Store upright in a cool dry place.
4. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Place the unit in an upright position on a stable,
flat surface.
Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away
from a wall or furniture (see the right graphic).
Please keep clothes at a safe distance
of 60 cm from air outlet of the unit to
prevent water dripping into the unit.
Where to position your dehumidifier?
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.

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, cookers etc. to
avoid the dehumidifier from overheating.
Do not use this dehumidifier in dusty or an industrial
environment where particles can get into the dehumidifier.
This will cause a malfunction and void your warranty.
UNIT SETUP

I
TROUBLESHOOTING
The following conditions are normal:
1. The fan is still running about 2 minutes after turning off the the unit.
2. The unit works within room temperature about 1~40ºC. It may stop operation
out of this range or when the air inlet or outlet is covered. (The "CHECK" LED light
will illuminate)
3. The unit includes heater function that could increase the room temperature.
If your Dehumidifier stops working or "CHECK" LED illuminates,
please check the following items first.
When the unit fails to run:
Is power cord unplugged or the power off?
Is "FULL" light on? Check the bucket is well in position?
Check and replace the bucket. Ensure unit is on a level and flat surface.
When the performance seems poor:
Is there any door or window open?
Is steam being generated in the room?
Is the room too big?
Is the filter dirty? Clean it. Refer to the filter cleaning instructions.
Is the inlet or the outlet covered?
When noise occurs:
Is the unit on a horizontal flat and level surface? Move and reset the unit.
Is the air filter dirty? Clean the filter.
NOTE:
1. If the "CHECK" LED illuminates, turn off the unit, unplug from the power socket,
check and clean the filter. If it is dirty, remove any obstacle that covers the air inlet
or outlet, and wait for at least ten minutes before plugging in and switching back on.
2. Please contact Andatech at 1300 800 200 if the problem continues.
Do not try to repair it by yourself, as this could cause an electrical shock and
void your warranty.
Try the laundry mode operation and let it run in this mode for a day.
Is the unit covered?
Is the unit positioned at the required minimum distances away from walls or objects?

TROUBLESHOOTING
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 eg. 55-60%RH (on Auto mode), 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 40-45%RH. This might well be necessary if you have
single glazed windows or if the outside air temperature drops to freezing.
Ventilation
The dehumidifier must not be placed in a confined space. Move the dehumidifier to a
well ventilated area for example in a hallway, landing or a ventilated room. Ensure that
its not in close proximity to any form of heat source, such as a radiator or appliances
that generate heat (eg tumble dryer or cooker). The air inlet and outlet must not
be obstructed.
