INSTALLATION
Place the appliance on a firm, flat level surface.
If continuous drainage is to be used, pull the bucket part-way out, pass the hose
through the hole in the bucket, and connect to the spigot. Then replace the
bucket. Use a hose with an internal diameter of 12mm (½"). Make sure that the
hose runs downwards throughout its entire length, and has no kinks. Otherwise
the drainage will not work.

OPERATION
•Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket.
•If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the lead is rated at
5 Amps or more, and that it is fully unwound.
•Place the appliance on a firm flat level surface.
•Switch the appliance on at the mains socket. Then press the POWER switch
to start operation.
•Press the MODE button to select the
operating mode. Normally, use the
MEDIUM setting, change to LOW to reduce
the operating noise, or to HIGH for rapid
drying of laundry.
•Press the HUMIDITY button to set the
required humidity level on the display. The
level can be set to 40%, 50% or 60%. The
appliance will remove humidity from the air
whenever the humidity level is higher that
the set level.
•To select continuous operation, press the
CONT. button. The appliance will
continuously remove humidity from the air
regardless of the humidity level. Press the
CONT. button again to stop continuous
operation.
•Take particular care if selecting continuous
operation when continuous drainage is
being used. It will lead to a continous
reduction of humidity levels; which, if the
humidity becomes too low, may lead to the cracking of delicate wooden
items.
•Press the LOUVRE button to switch the louvre oscillation on or off.
•Press the ION button to switch the ioniser function on or off. The ioniser
generates negative ions which helps to remove dust from the air.
•Unplug the appliance from the mains when not in use. (Do not disconnect
whilst still operating, press the POWER switch to turn the appliance OFF
first)
•Check the appliance regularly for damage and cease using it immediately if
any damage to the product, the cable or the mains plug is found.
•The appliance operates best if it is in an enclosed area. Close all doors and
windows, and eliminate sources of additional humiditiy, such as cooking,
clothes drying. Cover fish tanks.
•The most comfortable setting for the humidity level is around 50%.
•The TIMER button may be used to cause the appliance to switch OFF after a
period of time, either 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours.

DRYING LAUNDRY
To dry laundry, hang the laundry on a drying rack or clothes horse, preferably in
an enclosed space such as a small room. Place the EH1506 nearby. The ideal
arrangement is with the EH1506 at the side of the drying rack (allow 400mm
clearance).
DO NOT allow any of the clothes to obstruct the air intakes or exhausts of
the EH1506.
DO NOT allow water to drip on the EH1506. Adjust the louvre to direct the
airflow on to the drying rack, and set the EH1506 on HIGH (LAUNDRY) mode.
This will dry the clothes quickly and efficiently and will prevent the excessive
humidity caused by drying clothes indoors, which can lead to mould growth. If not
using continuous drainage, inspect the EH1506 regularly and empty the bucket
when it is full.
EMPTYING THE COLLECTED WATER
If not using a drainage hose, empty the
bucket when the "WATER FULL" indicator
lights.
Pull the bucket out.
Lift the bucket upwards.
Empty the water down a drain.
STORAGE
If the appliance is not going to be used for a long time:
1. Empty and clean the bucket.
2. Unplug from the mains
3. Clean the appliance
4. Store in its original packaging
PAT TESTING
When used in a workplace, this product must be safety-tested yearly by a
qualified electrician (PAT Tested) in order to comply with the Electricity at Work
Regulations.

Page 6
We recommend that it is PAT tested regularly when used in a domestic
environment.
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Domestic wiring must be tested periodically by a qualified electrician at least
once every 10 years or at every change of occupancy.
For office and retail premises, and buildings such as village halls, the wiring must
be inspected at least once every 5 years.
It is recommended that all building be fitted with smoke alarms (it is mandatory
for new buildings).
MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, turn the appliance off, and disconnect from the mains
supply. The appliance may then be cleaned using a damp cloth with a drop
of washing-up liquid to remove any dust or dirt from the case. Do no use
stronger detergents or solvents as these may damage the surface finish.
Clean the inside of the bucket to prevent the build-up of bacteria.
Using a dry 1" (25mm) paint-brush, remove any dust from the grilles.
The filter must be cleaned every fortnight (or more often if the atmosphere is
particularly dusty). A blocked filter will impair performance, and may cause
overheating.
To clean the filter, first remove the filter
frame by pulling the tab as shown.
Remove the filter from the frame.
Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner,
or wash in warm water with a drop of
washing-up liquid.
Ensure that the filter is completely dry
before replacing.

Page 7
If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre. If the mains plug needs to be replaced, proceed as
follows:
Connect the brown wire to the
terminal labelled "L".
Connect the blue wire to the
terminal labelled "N".
Connect the green/yellow wire to
the terminal labelled with the earth
symbol or "E".
Make sure that the cord-grip is
positioned correctly (over the
outer sheath of the cable) and it
fully tightened.
If the plug is fitted with a 13 A fuse, replace it by a 5 A fuse.
FAULT FINDING
Appliance stops operating and "FULL" indicator lights.
•Bucket is full of water - empty the water as shown on page 6. Do not drink the
water (it may be used for watering plants).
•Bucket is not replaced properly. Ensure that the bucket is correctly aligned with
the housing.
Appliance operates intermittently.
•The humidity in the room has reached the level set on the control panel.
Very little water is extracted.
•There is very little humidity in the air (this happens during dry sunny weather,
and also during very cold weather). Condensation on windows is caused by the
difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, and is not a good indicator
of the level of humidity.
The room remains humid and little water is extracted
•The humidity setting is too high, select a lower humidity level.
•The area to be dehumidified is too large
OPERATING COSTS
At time of going to press, the average cost of electricity is £0.12 per unit (kilowatt-
hour). The amount you are being charged will be shown on your electricity bill.
At this cost, the appliance will cost £0.08 per hour to run on the "continuous"
setting. If the humidity control is used, the operating costs will be lower.
