8. Repair to Intrinsically Safe Components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitive loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed
the permissible voltage and current for the unit in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be
worked on while live and in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct
rating. Replace the components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition
of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
9. Cabling
Check that the cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or any other
adverse environmental effects. The check shall also consider the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources
such as compressors or fan.
10. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks.
A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
11. Leak Detection Methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be
adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.)
Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak
detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the
refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids
are suitable for use with most refrigerants, but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as
the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipework. If a leak is suspected, all naked
flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a refrigerant leak is found (which requires brazing), all refrigerants
shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system that is
situated remotely from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to Removal and evacuation.
12. Removal and Evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose, conventional
procedures shall be used. Considering flammability, follow best practices. Adherence to the
following procedures is a must:
• Removing the refrigerant following local and national regulations;
• Purging the circuit with inert gas;
• Evacuation;
• Purging again with inert gas;
• Opening the circuit by cutting or brazing;
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by
local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with
oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to
be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems. For
appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum
in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then
venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant
is within the system. When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to
atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not
close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.
13. Charging Procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed. Ensure that
contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using the charging equipment. Hoses or lines
shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed before charging the system with the refrigerant.
Label the system when the charging is complete (in case it has not been labeled yet).
Extreme care shall be taken to avoid overfilling the refrigeration system.

Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; Allpersonal protective
equipment is available and being used correctly;
The recovery process is always supervised by a competent person and recovery equipment and cylinders conform
to the required standards.
• Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible.
• If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerants can be removed from various
parts of the system.
• Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
• Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not overfill the cylinders. (No more than 80% volume liquid charge).
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
• When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process is completed, make sure that
the cylinders and the equipment are removed from the site promptly and all isolation valves
on the equipment are closed off.
• Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has
been cleaned and checked.
15. Labeling
The unit shall be labeled stating that it has been decommissioned and emptied of the refrigerant.
The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the unit stating that
it contains flammable refrigerants.
16. Recovery
When removing the refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended that all
refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring the refrigerant into the cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are
used. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to
be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (i.e., special cylinders refrigerant
recovery). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valves and associated shut-off valves in good working
order. Empty recovery cylinders should be evacuated and, if possible, cooled before the recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that
is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing
scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and
in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly
maintained, and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition if a refrigerant is released.
Consult Customer Service when in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the
relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. If the
compressors or the compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level
so that the flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out
prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed
to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from the system, it shall be carried out safely.
Prior to recharging the system, the pressure test with OFN must first be conducted.
The system leak test shall be performed upon completion of charging, but should be done prior
to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out before leaving the site.
14. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with
the equipment and all necessary details. It is good practice that all refrigerants be recovered safely.
Prior to carrying out this task, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is
required before reusing the reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available
before this task commences.

8. Repair to Intrinsically Safe Components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitive loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed
the permissible voltage and current for the unit in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be
worked on while live and in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct
rating. Replace the components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition
of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
9. Cabling
Check that the cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or any other
adverse environmental effects. The check shall also consider the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources
such as compressors or fan.
10. Detection of Flammable Refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks.
A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
11. Leak Detection Methods
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants.
Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be
adequate, or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.)
Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak
detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the
refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25% maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids
are suitable for use with most refrigerants, but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as
the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipework. If a leak is suspected, all naked
flames shall be removed/extinguished. If a refrigerant leak is found (which requires brazing), all refrigerants
shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system that is
situated remotely from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to Removal and evacuation.
12. Removal and Evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose, conventional
procedures shall be used. Considering flammability, follow best practices. Adherence to the
following procedures is a must:
• Removing the refrigerant following local and national regulations;
• Purging the circuit with inert gas;
• Evacuation;
• Purging again with inert gas;
• Opening the circuit by cutting or brazing;
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by
local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with
oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to
be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems. For
appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum
in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then
venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant
is within the system. When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system shall be vented down to
atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not
close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.
13. Charging Procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed. Ensure that
contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using the charging equipment. Hoses or lines
shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed before charging the system with the refrigerant.
Label the system when the charging is complete (in case it has not been labeled yet).
Extreme care shall be taken to avoid overfilling the refrigeration system.

Lead the Drain Hose to the floor drain
or a suitable drainage facility.
• If there is a pump, the appliance does not need to be
higher than the hose (the pump will push the water
instead of relying upon gravity drainage).
REMOVING THE COLLECTED WATER (CONT.)
NOTE:
• Make sure the connection is
tight and there is no leaking.
• If the Pump Hose drops when
removing the Bucket, you must install
the Pump Hose to the unit before
replacing the Bucket into the unit.
• The maximum pumping elevation is 16.4 ft (5 m).
NOTE:
Do not use the Pump when the outdoor
temperature is equal to or less than 32°F (0°C),
otherwise the water will freeze, causing the
Water Hose to block up and the Dehumidifier
may be damaged.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Clean the Dehumidifier with water and mild detergent.
Do not use bleach, cleaning supplies, or other abrasives.
1. Clean the Grille and Case
• Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause: an electrical shock,
the insulation to deteriorate, or the unit to rust.
• The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily. Use a vacuum brush attachment
or brush to clean.
2. Clean the Bucket
Clean the Bucket with water and mild detergent every two weeks.
3. Clean the Air Filter
Clean the filter with potable water at least once every 30days.
4. Storing the Dehumidifier
Store the Dehumidifier when it will not be used for a long time.
• After turning off the Dehumidifier, wait one day until all water in the internal
of the Dehumidifier flows into the Bucket, and then empty the Bucket.
• Clean the main Dehumidifier, Bucket, and air filter.
• Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band.
• Cover the Dehumidifier with a plastic bag.
• Store the Dehumidifier upright in a dry, well-ventilated area.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the Dehumidifier
without a filter. Dirt and lint will
clog it and reduce performance.
Before contacting Customer Service, reviewing this list can save time. This list includes the most common
occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this Dehumidifier.
Please contact Customer Service at homelabs.com/help or help@homelabs.com if Dehumidifier operates abnormally
or does not operate, and the solutions above are not useful.
Care & Cleaning Troubleshooting
PROBLEM CAUSE/SOLUTION
Dehumidifier does
not start
• Make sure the Dehumidifier’s Plug is inserted completely into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box.
• Dehumidifier has reached its preset level
or Bucket is full.
• Bucket is not in the proper position.
Dehumidifier does not
dry the air as it should
• Make sure allow enough time to remove the moisture.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front
or back of the Dehumidifier.
• The humidity level may not be set low enough.
• Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely closed.
• Room temperature is too low, below 41°F (5°C).
• There is a kerosene heater or something giving off water vapor in the room.
The Dehumidifier makes
a loud noise when
operating
• The air filter is clogged.
• The Dehumidifier is tilted instead of
upright as it should be.
• The floor surface is not level.
Frost appears on the
coils
• This is normal. The Dehumidifier has “Auto Defrost” feature.
Water on floor
• The Dehumidifier was placed on uneven floor.
• Hose to connector or Hose connection may be loose.
• Intend to use the Bucket to collect water, but the back drain plug is
removed.
Water does not drain
from the Hose
• Hoses more than 5 feet long may not drain properly. It is recommended to
keep the hose as short as possible for proper draining. For dehumidifiers
without a pump, the Hose must empty water lower than the bottom of the
Dehumidifier, and be kept flat and smooth without kinks.
The Pump Indicator
blinks.
(Only applicable
to HME1004)
• The filter is dirty (See > “Care & Cleaning” Page 16).
• The Pump Drain Hose is not attached to the rear of the Dehumidifier
(See > Page 15).
• The Bucket is not in the right position. Place the Bucket properly.
• The Pump Hose has dropped to a lower level. Reinstall the Pump Hose
in the proper position (See > Page 15). If the error repeats, please call
Customer Service.
The Pump operates
when it reaches a certain
level, but the Bucket still
retains 2/3 of the water
inside it. (Only applicable
to HME1004)
• This is normal. The Bucket will collect water with the Pump Hose in the
Bucket. Unlike manually emptying a Bucket fully (on units without a pump),
using a pump will leave water in the Bucket. The Pump starts operating
when the water reaches a set level. The Pump will then remove collected
water, but some water will remain in the Bucket.
WARNING: Turn the Dehumidifier off and remove
the Plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
NOTE: The Pump lifetime is also increased when it operates in water.
You only need to empty the Bucket manually to clean it or for storage.
The Pump Hose Drops must be in water to function.
