Important Instructions

2
Latest technology and efficient extraction process ensure a frequent change of location from one
building site to another or the application in rough surroundings and on difficult terrain does not
pose a problem for this condenser dryer.
The robust steel construction in carriage design with transport handle and big wheels can
withstand a fair bit and can easily be transported to any operating site.
Owing to an external condensate drain and optionally available condensate pump, ECO series
product is further ideally suited for longer unattended dry keeping applications, the duration of
which can be determined precisely by means of the integrated operating hours counter – perfect
for commercial applications.

•
Remove the packaging.
•
Your dehumidifier is designed for easy use and maintenance. Make sure that the filter is properly
installed before use.
•
Keep the unit’s air inlet and outlet at least 24 inches away from any wall/obstruction.
•
Select a flat, stable surface to place the unit. Do not place on or near heat sources such as stoves,
radiators, heaters and avoid placement in direct sunlight.
•
Do not operate the unit in areas where chemicals are stored. Volatile chemicals might damage the unit
and may cause the water bucket to leak.
Installation and Operation Guide
Installation
Must not use the dehumidifier in potentially dangerous locations.
Before operating the unit, place the unit
UPRIGHT for at least 1hour to allow
refrigerant to stabilize. If the unit was titled
on its side or upside-down during
transportation, set the unit UPRIGHT for at
least 4 hours before use. The dehumidifier
must be positioned UPRIGHT on a level
surface during operation.
Environment Temperature and Humidity: the
dehumidifier is designed to work in an
environment with a temperature of 41ºF - 95
ºF (5 ºC - 35 ºC) and relative humidity level of
10% and higher. The dehumidifier may not
function normally or efficiently if the room
temperature and humidity level exceed this
range.
Step on pedal of the rear housing plate to help tilt the
unit for better convenient moving.
NOTE: DO NOT tilt the unit over 45º to avoid
compressor damaging.

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING THE PRODUCT
•
Power – plug the power into a standard 115V power supply outlet.
•
Press “ON/OFF” button on control panel to start the unit.
•
The screen will display the current humidity setting value and press “+” or “—” to adjust desired
humidity increments of 1%. Press and hold the button to make faster adjustments. Setting the
humidity value below 30% will allow the unit enter into “continuous dehumidifying” mode and “CO”
will briefly appear on the screen.
•
Press “ON/OFF” again to shut down the dehumidifier and do not forget to unplug the power when not
in use.
•
Tips – the best humidity range for human health, furniture and other goods protection is 45%
- 65%. We suggest you keep the humidity in this range
Installation and Operation Guide
Operation
Do not handle the plug
with wet hands.
Electric shock may
occur, resulting in
injury or death.
•
When the humidity setting is higher than
the current room humidity, the
compressor will not run and fan motor
continues running.
•
Maintaining the humidity between 45-65%
is suggested for best results.
NOTE: NEVER attempt to start, stop and
restart the unit without waiting at least 3
minutes. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the compressor and/ or cause
unit failure.
•
The unit will automatically sense when it
needs to enter the Defrost mode,
especially in low-temperature
environments. During defrosting, the
Defrost Indicator will illuminate on the
display, the compressor will turn off, and
the fan motor will run until the cycle is
complete.
•
Accumulated run time on the display
indicates the total number of hours that
the unit has been operated.
NOTE: ALWAYS unplug the unit, properly
wrap the power cord and utilize the plug
storage receptacle before moving or
servicing. Use only the ON/OFF button to
turn the unit on and off.
DO NOT block the grids when the unit is in
use. Keep metal objects away from the
unit. Bodily injury or property damage may
occur.

Drainage instruction - (tank drainage, continuous drainage & *water-pump drainage
*water-pump is PREINSTALLED on ECO-H90 & ECO-H100 and is optional available of interchange with tank for
other models
.
A. Water-tank connection (for ECO model: H50, H60, H70 & H70B)
B. Direct (Continuous) Connection (for all models)
C. Water-pump Connection (for ECO model: H90 & H100)
Tips – There might be a small amount of water present in the tank before using the dehumidifier for
the first time, which is normal. This is caused by the preliminary testing done by the factory.
Normally the condensate water on evaporator will be collected
on the dip tray and then runs into water tank through drain
hose.
Drain hose (into water-tank)
Drain hose through the hole on the side cover
NOTE: the hole is on the opposite side of the cover of model ECO-H60
The dehumidifier is designed to allow using direct drain hose
for removing the water.
External drain hose
(20 ft.)
Internal drain hose
Water-pump
Water-pump helps to drain out
condensate water automatically to
avoid unit stopping running by
tank-full.
Pump kit is available as option on
ECO-H series for tank
interchange.
