DESCRIPTION
Turbo
Saving
Press the "DRY” Key for automatic dehumidification.
MODE DESCRIPTION
The unit automatically keeps room at a comfortable
Relative Humidity (RH) level of 55%RH.
The fan speed & heater power are adjusted automatically.
Note: Use this mode for maximum energy saving and for quiet operation.
Note: Use this mode on a daily normal household use to keep the humidity to
a healthy level of 55%RH (Bacteria and mould will not breed at this level).
Note: Use this to control a very damp room in the first couple of days and then
switch to economy to save energy.
Dries the air to approximately 55%RH and runs on economy
fan mode to sample the air for its humidity level. It will
dehumidify again when the relative humidity rises.
Dries the air to approximately 45%RH and stops dehumidifying
but runs on fan-only mode to sample the air for its humidity level.
It will dehumidify again when the relative humidity rises.
LAUNDRY MODE
Pressthe "LAUNDRY" key for drying clothes.
MODE
Use this mode to increase the toggling to low energy saver
mode during operation.
The unit automatically provides heat air to dry clothes faster
with higher power. During the operation the power will be
toggled to low energy mode as air humidity gets low.
Note: It typically takes 2 – 8 hours to dry your laundry. You may want to put your
dehumidifier on the timer when using the Laundry mode to avoid wasting energy.
Avoid using the Laundry modes for normal daily use. You may use for extreme
drying of very damp rooms over 2 – 3 days and then switch to the recommended
Low mode.

back to the socket and turn on the unit. Make sure the dehumidifier is placed in a
safe distance away from any obstacles. (See page 5 Unit Setup)

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.

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
Place the unit in an upright position on a
stable, level surface. (Please ensure unit

60cm 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.
