indicated on the LCD display.
When ambient humidity is 5% lower than your setting, compressor shuts off and fan works at low speed.
If ambient humidity is 5% higher than the setting, the dehumidification is activated again.
When the machine is set in continuous dehumidification, the continuous dehumidification mode and
corresponding fan speed will be displayed on LCD. In this mode, the ambient humidity has no effect on
the operation of the dehumidifier.

1When the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator i≤ -1°C，the dehumidifier
moves to defrost mode automatically and after defrosting, it automatically starts dehumidifying.
When defrosting, the red defrost indicator light illuminates.
When defrosting, the compressor will turn off and the fan runs at mid speed.

When the water tank is full a buzzer will sound 10 times and the symbol of water full is shown on the
LCD screen, all other symbols disappear. The dehumidifier stops working and louver closes.
Carefully remove the water tank and empty the water, and then reinstate the water tank. The
dehumidifier will start working in the previously set conditions. If you do not reinstate the bucket within
3 minutes, the dehumidification process will start and there may be water spillage. Hence it is
recommended to switch off the dehumidifier completely from the power socket and then remove the
water bucket.
Operating your Appliance
PERMANENT WATER DRAINAGE
It is possible to connect a drainage tube (not supplied) to the appliance for permanent water drainage.
If this option is desired, you will need to purchase a suitable PVC tube from your local hardware retailer
(Goldair does not hold tubes as spare parts).
1. Connect the drainage hose to the drain spout.
2. Place the end of the drainage hose in a drainage outlet. Ensure that the end of the hose is lower
than the drain opening, otherwise the water will not drain and flooding may occur.
3. Also ensure the water tank is positioned in the unit otherwise the continuous drainage will not
operate. It will also catch any overflow.
4. When you no longer wish to use the permanent water drainage, disconnect the drainage tube from
the device and water will be collected in tank again.
