How a Dehumidifier works
This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air through
the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling elements.
Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense. This
condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried air then passes
through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room at a
slightly elevated temperature.
Where to position the unit
Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking
smells waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be
positioned, so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning
the dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point.
When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and
that there is a minimum of 10 cm (4") of space on either side of the unit to allow for
efficient airflow.
This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it
should first be switched off and the water tank emptied.
We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the
unit is sufficiently close to a fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use an extension
lead, please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable are at least 1mm2.
When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed
when necessary for most efficient use.

Operating Instructions
1. Plug the unit into a correct mains socket.
2. To turn the unit on turn the humidistat control
clockwise.
3. The humidistat (humidity controller) also
controls the required humidity level. The
intensity of humidity extraction is increased
clockwise
4. For continuous working, set the humidistat to
position 'MAX'.
5. To turn off the unit turn the humidistat to OFF position.
Drainage
Whenever the water tank is full, or the water tank is not positioned properly, the
compressor will stop and the water full indicator will turn red.
To remove the water tank, use the handle to pull the tank out squarely from the unit.
After empting, replace the water tank. The tank will need to be properly positioned in
order for the 'water full' sign to cancel and your dehumidifier will start operating.

Continuous Drainage
When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will
require more frequent drainage. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set
the unit up for continuous drainage with the following procedures:
1. Pull out the stopper from the
drain hole A at the rear of the
machine ( see FIG. 1) and
connect the drain hole A with a
water tube of inner diameter 12
mm. (FIG.2)
* Please note, the water tube is
not supplied with the unit.
2. Pull out the water tank. Use the
stopper taken from Hole A to
stick into drain Hole B (FIG. 3).
3. Ensure the water will always
drain away freely and the tube
will remain in right place. Note!
In very cold weather conditions,
precautions should be taken to
prevent the water tube from
freezing.
4. Put the water tank back to its
position (FIG. 4).

Trouble Shooting
The unit does not operate:
• Is the unit plugged in?
• Is the house electricity on?
• Is the room temperature below 5oC or above 32oC? If so,
then it is out of the working range of the unit.
• Ensure the humidistat (or ON/OFF switch) is turned on.
• Check the water tank is positioned properly in the unit and
it is not full.
• Make sure the air inlet and outlet are not obstructed.
The unit seems to do nothing:
• Is the filter dusty, contaminated?
• Is the air intake or outlet blocked up?
• Is the room humidity already quite low?
The unit seems to do little:
• Are too many windows or doors open?
• Is there something in the room producing lots of humidity?
The unit is too noisy:
• Check whether the unit is sitting on a level surface.
The unit is leaking:
• If you are not using continuous drainage, make sure the
rubber plug (at the bottom of the unit) is in its position.
CAUTION! Do not immerse the unit in water or allow water to drip into
the interior of the unit housing as this could create a fire or electric
shock hazard.
WARNING! Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Doing so could
void the warranty and cause damage or personal injury.
