1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other
connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A
Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current
Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected
by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a
qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those
appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the
power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7. DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8. DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9. DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and
that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above - DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10. Products which require more than 13amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to
ensure that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and
socket with your electrician.
1.1.11. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that
the capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the
use of 2.5mm² section cable. If an extension reel is to be used outdoors, ensure it is marked for outdoor use.

4.2. Defrosting Operation
The evaporator within the dehumidifier frosts during the dehumidifying operation at a room temperature of approximately 15°C or less.
The defrosting device works automatically at an interval of approximately every 30 minutes for a duration of approximately 5 minutes.
The dehumidifying function will stop during the defrosting operation. DO NOT disconnect the plug or turn off the unit during the defrosting
operation.
Note: This dehumidifier does not have a cooling function, it produces heat during operation and the room temperature will rise by 1°C to 4°C.
The temperature increases while it is operated in a closet, or similar. The temperature will rise because doors and windows are closed
and heat is produced from other appliances in the room and from sun radiation. Furthermore, a drier environment is less expensive to
heat.
4.3. Emptying the Water Collection Tank
During the dehumidifying operation, water is collected in the water collection tank. When the tank is full of water, the dehumidifier stops
operating automatically and the warning buzzer beeps twice. The unit will not restart until the water collection tank has been emptied.
4.3.1. Open the dehumidifier door and remove the hose from the water collection tank. Then remove the tank (fig.3).
4.3.2. Hold the tank by the handle and carry it carefully to an emptying point.
4.3.3. Empty the water out of the tank.
4.3.4. Replace the tank in the dehumidifier, making sure it is properly back in place; the unit will not restart if it is not fitted correctly.
4.3.5. Insert the drain hose into the tank.
4.4. Continuous Draining
4.4.1. If there is a place suitable for draining, continuous draining can be carried out. The continuous operation enables the dehumidfying
operation to continue uninterrupted.
4.4.2. Turn off the dehumidifier, disconnect the power plug and remove the water collection tank.
4.4.3. Attach the short length of hose to the plastic bulkhead fitted to the casing, secure with a hose clip. See fig.3 bottom left.
