WATER TANK
Thisproduct isa dehumidifier, It controls relative humidity by passing the air
through the unit. forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling
elements, Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to
condense, Thiscondensed water then drains safely into the water tank, The dried
air then passes through the condenser where it isslightly warmed and re-enters
the room at a slightly elevated temperature.
Excess moisture wilt travel
throughout your home, in
the same way that cooking
smells waft to every room in
the house. For this reason,
the dehumidifier should be
positioned, so that it can
draw this moist air towards it
from all over the home,
Alternatively, if you have a
serious problem in one
area, you can begin by
positioning the dehumidifier
close to this area and later
moving it to a more central
point,
When positioning the
dehumidifier, ensure that it
is placed on a level surface
and with a minimum of 10
cm [4"] of space on either
side of the unit to allow for
efficient airflow.
This dehumidifier is fitted
with castors for extra
mobility. Ifyou move the
unit, it should first be
switched off and the water
tank emptied.
We do not recommend the
use of an extension cord, so
please try to ensure that the
unit is sufficiently close to a
fixed main socket. If it is
necessary to use an
extension cord, please
ensure the diameter of the
extension cable isat least 1
mm. When the dehumidifier
is in operation, outside
doors and windows should
be closed for most efficient
use.

Caution!
•Always keep the unit in vertical position.
• Leave the unit to stand for at least an hour after transport or when it
has been tilted [e.g. during cleaning], before connecting to the main
supply.
•Keep all foreign objects away from the air intake or output openings.
• The main supply must conform to the specification shown on the
rating plate at the back of the unit.
• Ifthe supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an approved
service technician or one similarly qualified.
• Never use the plug to start or stop the unit, Always use the power
switch on the control panel.
•Before moving the unit, first switch off, unplug and empty the water
tank.
• Do not use bug sprays or other flammable cleaners on the unit.
•Never pour or spray water over the unit.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use this unit at ambient temperatures below 41 °F, to prevent the
possibility of evaporating coils from icing,

Continuous drainage
When the dehumidifier is operated in very high humidity climates, the water tank will
require more frequent drainage. In this situation, it may be more convenient to set
up the unit for continuous drainage by following these procedures:
1, Turnunit OFF and unplug power source.
2, Use a screwdriver and remove the round knockout at the back of the unit.
[FIG.1)
CAUTION

cover the opening with any type of plug. if the opening isblocked, water will
not be able to flow out and cause possible malfunction to the unit.
3, Connect the drain spout with a water tube of 12 mm. inner diameter. [FIG,2]
Note: water tube is not supplied with the unit.
4, Please make sure the tube issecurely connected with no sharp bends or
kinks.
Note: In very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to prevent
the water tube from freezing.
