Operation considerations
Defrost operation
The evaporator within the dehumidifier can frost over during normal operation (at
temperatures of approx.15℃or less). The unit automatically removes the frost at intervals of
approximately 30 minutes or more (for a duration of approximately 5 minutes).While this
unit performs this cycle both the dehumidifying function and the air cleaning function are
suspended
● Do not turn off or disconnect the unit during the defrosting operation.
This dehumidifier is not suitable for sustained lowering of humidity (approx.50% or less)
This dehumidifier is designed to remove uncomfortable levels humidity in daily life and for
enhanced indoor drying. It is not suitable for sustaining very low humidity levels
Room temperature rises during dehumidifier operation.
This dehumidifier does not have a cooling function. It produces heat during normal operation
which will have an effect on the surrounding environment. Further more any temperature
changes will be respective to the size of the room it is located in. Therefore appropriate
considerations should be taken when deciding how and where to locate this unit.
