 waterlevelwarningandmustbeplacedintherightposition.Thedehumidierwillnotworkifthewaterlevelistoohigh.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

Dehumidier does not work:

 -Isdehumidierpluggedin

- Check that water tank is in the correct position

 -Checkthatwatertankisnotfull(empty)andthatoatballisincorrectposition

The pipe is frozen:

 -Thedehumidierhasadefrostingfunction.Thefankeepsworkingafterthecompressorstopsworking.Thiswillsolvetheproblemof

 afrozenpipe.Whenthedefrostingdevicereachesroomtemperature,thedehumidierwillresumeoperation.

The dehumidier ‘runs’ without dehumidifying:

 (Thedehumidierwillblowwarmerairwhenitisworkingproperly).

 -Powerlightlightsoncepersecondwhenitisdefrosting

 -Powerlightlightsforthreesecondsthengoesoutforonesecondorlightsforonesecondthengoesoutmeansthereisafaultwith

the humidity sensor - contact Sealey stockist

The dehumidier runs as soon as it is switched on:

-Checkifthedehumidierisdefrosting.Afterdefrostingthedehumidierwillrestartautomaticallyafterdefrosting.

Dehumidifying capacity is too weak:

-Checkiflternetisblocked-clean

- dehumidifying capacity will be weaker if the temperature and humidity levels are too low

- check if air inlet is blocked - clean

Expected humidity takes a long time to be reached:

- check whether doors and windows are open

- check if anything is producing vapour

- check whether the volume of the room is too large

Original Language Version

Dehumidier is noisy:

- Check if surface it is placed on is smooth
