ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTIONTIPS
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
the unit by a suitably qualified engineer. The refrigerant system should not be perforated or
punctured.
· Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills. For maximum
performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 20 cm.
· Keep the filters or grills of the unit clean. Under normal conditions, filters or grills should
only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately).
· Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe necessary,
depending on the air quality. Wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry them
before placing them back in the unit.
The dehumidifier uses compressor technology to extract water from the environment.
Compressor dehumidifiers are ideal for normal domestic or office environments which are
heated during the winter months and maintain a temperature above 12-15 oC.
The dehumidifiers are designed to extract unwanted humidity while saving money due to their
power saving logic. They feature an intelligent humidistat where the desired relative
humidity can be adjusted in increments of 5% between 35% and 80% ensuring your room is
not dried too much and power is not wasted.
Auto-Restart
If the unit stops unexpectedly due to the power cut, it will restart with the previous function
selected automatically when the power resumes, and the compressor will start after 3
minutes protection.
Features
· Easyto use controls.
· Cost effective way to combat mould, condensation, and damp.
· Designed to complement any modern space.
· IntelligentCPU controlled digital humidistat with 35%-80% RH and room humidity display.
· 24 hours start / stop timer.

WATER DRAINAGE
Use in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. Close all doors, windows to create
an effective operating environment. Do not use outdoors.
Your dehumidifier will begin to protect your space from the harmful effects of
excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on. Excess moisture is dispersed throughout
your home. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and
clear location so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home. A
warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier. If possible,
leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning
the dehumidifier there and moving it to a more central location later. For the most
effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors and windows kept closed.
Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a radiator or other heat
source.
·
When positioning your dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed clear of any obstacle that
may limit the air movement. Place the dehumidifier on aflat dry surface.
When the water tank is full, the unit will stop automatically. When it happens, the tank full
light will show on the control panel.
There are two ways to dispense collected water.
1. USE THE WATER TANK
When the water tank is full, the unit will automatically stop running and the water tank
full indicator will flash.
Slowly pull out the watertank. Grip the water tank by its handle securely, and carefully
pull it out. Empty the water tank before reinserting it into the dehumidifier. The tank must
be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate again. The dehumidifier
will re-start when the tank is restored to its correct position.
NOTE:Only empty the water tank when it is full or before moving or storing the unit.
WARNING:Any commercial or industrial use will invalidate the warranty.

NOTE: The pipe has 1m long.
Do not remove any parts from the water tank or tank enclosure. The water full sensor will no
longer be able to detect the water level correctly and water may leak from the water tank.
2. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE (OPTIONAL)
Water can be automatically plumbed in or drained into a sink, a larger recipient or
through the wall into an outside drain by attaching a pipe to the unit (10mm internal
diameter). Insert the pipe into the drain outlet at the back of the unit as shown here.
Make sure the connection between pipe and the drain outlet is tight and does not leak.
Then direct the pipe to a suitable drainage point.
This unit uses gravity to dispose of water hence the drain should be lower than the water
outlet on the unit. Put the water tank back. Be sure to run the water pipe downward and let
the water to flow out smoothly. Do not kink or bend the pipe.
NOTES:When you remove the water tank, do not touch sensors or any parts which are
situated behind the tank. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the water tank gently
all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it in securely
into place may cause the unit not to operate.

10
CAUTION: Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical
shock and can lead to the insulation to deteriorate or cause the unit to rust.
Always shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or performing any
maintenance. When it is not in use for long periods, it is advised to remove the plug from the
power socket.
Do not use chemical solvents (such as benzene, alcohol, or gasoline) as they may cause
irreversible damage to the unit.
Clean the grill and case.
· Use water and a mild detergent to clean the washable mesh filters. Do not use bleach
or abrasives.
· The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum
attachment or soft brush to clean.
· Wipe the dehumidifier body with a soft damp cloth or kitchen
towel.
· If the mesh filter is dirty, hoover it. If it is heavily soiled, wash it with warm soapy water
and dry thoroughly before reinserting it in the unit.
· When filter cleaning is finished and filters are dry, place them back into the unit.
