9. Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp
edges or any other adverse environmental eects. The check shall also take into account the
eects of aging or continual leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked ame)
shall not be used
10. Detection of ammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or
detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked ame)
shall not be used.
11. Leak detection methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing
ammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect ammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity
may not be adequate, or may need re-calibrated.(Detection equipment shall be calibrated
in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and
is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage
of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the
appropriate percentage of gas(25% maximum )is conrmed .
Leak detection uids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may
react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe work.
If a leak is suspected, all naked ames shall be removed/extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be
recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut o valves) in a part of the system
both before and during the brazing process.
12. Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs- or for any other purpose –
conventional procedures shall be used. However, it is important that best practice is
followed since ammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:
remove refrigerant;
purge the circuit with inert gas;
evacuate;
purge again with inert gas;
open the circuit by cutting or brazing;
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system
shall be “ushed’ with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated
several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task.
Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing
to ll until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and nally pulling
down to a vacuum. This processing shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the
system. When the nal OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric
pressure to enable work to take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations
on the pipe-work are to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close
to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.
13. Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be
followed.
WARNINGS (for using R290/R32 refrigerant only)
11
-Ensure that contamination of dierent refrigerants does not occur when using charging
equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of
refrigerant contained in them.
-Cylinders shall be kept upright.
-Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with
refrigerant.
-label the system when charging is complete (if not already)
-Extreme care shall be taken not to overll the refrigeration system.
Prior to recharging the system is shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system shall be leak
tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be
carried out prior to leaving the site.
14. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar
with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants
are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall
be taken is case analysis is required prior to re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential
that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
a) become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that;
Mechanical handling equipment is available and being used correctly; the recovery process
is supervised at all times by a competent person; recovery equipment and cylinders
conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible , make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from
various parts of the system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
h) Do not overll cylinders. (No more than 80% volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been lled correctly and the process completed, make sure
that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation
valves on the equipment are closed o.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it
has been cleaned and checked.
15. Labeling
Equipment shall be labeled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of
refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the
equipment stating the equipment contains ammable refrigerant.
16. Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is
recommended good practice that all refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate
refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for
holding the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the
recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant(i.e special cylinders for the recovery
of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-
o valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and , if possible,
cooled before recovery occurs.

WARNINGS (for using R290/R32 refrigerant only)
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set with a set of instructions
concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of
ammable refrigerants.
In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and good condition. Before
using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly
maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in
the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer of in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct
recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in
recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated
to an acceptable level to make certain that ammable refrigerant does not remain within the
lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to
the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate
this process. When oil drained form a system, it shall be carried out safely.

Positioning the unit
A dehumidier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage
area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifer is intended for indoor residential appli-
cations only. This dehumidier should not be used for
commercial or industrial applications.
• Place the dehumidier on a smooth, level oor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit
for good air circulation.
• Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not
fall below 5°C(41°F). The coils can become covered
with frost at temperatures below 5<t(41°F), which may
reduce performance.
• Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or
radiator.
• Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
• The dehumidier must be operated in an enclosed area
to be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to
the room.
When using the unit
• When rst using the dehumidier, operate the unit con-
tinuously 24 hours.
• This unit is designed to operate with a working environ-
ment between 5°C/41 °F and 35°C/95 °F.
• If the unit has been switched off and needs to be
switched on again quickly, allow approximately three
minutes for the correct operation to resume.
• Do not connect the dehumidier to a multiple socket
outlet, which is also being used for other electrical
appliances.
• Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy
access to an electrical outlet.
• Plug the unit into a electrical socket-outlet with earth
connection.
• Make sure the Water bucket is correctly tted otherwise
the unit will not operate properly.
NOTE:When the water in the bucket reaches to a
certain level,please be careful to move the machine to
avoid it falling down.

OPERATING THE UNIT
Removing the collected water
There are two ways to remove collected water.
1. Use the bucket
• When the unit is off, if the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8
times and the Full indicator light will ash, the digital display
shows P2.
• When the unit is on, if the bucket is full, the compressor turns
off and the fan turns off after 30 seconds for drying the water
of the condenser, then the unit will beep 8 times and the Full
indicator light will ash, the digital display shows P2.
• Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right handles
securely, and carefully pull out straight so water does not spill.
Do not put the tank on the oor because the bottom of the
bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause the
water to spill.
• Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The bucket
must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidier to
operate.
• The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its
correct position.
NOTES:
• When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of
the unit. Doing so may damage the product.
• Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the unit.
Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it in
securely may cause the unit not to operate.
• When you remove the bucket, if there is some water in the
unit you must dry it.
2. Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a oor drain by at-
taching the unit with a water hose (not included).
• Cut the cover down from the back drain hose outlet. Attach
a drainhose(ID=13.5mm) and lead it to the oor drain or a
suitable drainage facility (see Fig.7).
• Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
• Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are
no kinks that will stop the water owing.
• Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the
end of the hose is level or down to let the water ow smoothly.
Do never let it up.
• Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit
for continuous draining to start.
NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being used,
remove the drain hose from the outlet.
1. Pull out the bucket a little.
3. Pour the water out.

outlet.
2. Hold both sides of the bucket with even
strength, and pull it out from the unit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and cleaning of the dehumidier
Turn the dehumidier off and remove the plug from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
1. Clean the Grille and Case
• Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abra-
sives.
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may
cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate,
or cause the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vac-
uum attachment or brush to clean.
2. Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold,
mildew and bacteria. Partially ll the bucket with clean water
and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket,
empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket.
After clean, the bucket must be in place and securely seated
for the dehumidier to operate.
3. Clean the air lter
The air lter behind the front grille should be checked and
cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN AU-
TOMATIC DISHWASHER.
To remove:
• Grip the tab on the lter and pull it upward, then pull it out as
shown in Fig.8.
• Clean the lter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the lter
dry before replacing it. Do not clean the lter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
• Insert the air lter into the unit from underside to upside. See
Fig. 10.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the dehumidier without a lter because dirt
and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
4. When not using the unit for long time periods
• After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the
bucket.
• Clean the main unit, water bucket and air lter.
• Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
• Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.
