ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
3
• Before moving the appliance,the water tank should be emptied.
• The handle on the appliance is designed to aid in its movement and should not be
used to support the full weight of the dehumidifier. When carrying the unit, it should
be kept upright and sufficiently supported from its base.
• The appliance must be placed in a room without sources of ignition (for example:
open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
• Do not use or store the appliance in an unventilated space with an area smaller than
43 sq.ft (4m
2
)per unit.
• If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room, the room must
be such as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could be
a danger of fire or explosion once the refrigerant comes into contact with electric
heaters, stoves or other sources of ignition.
• Do not use the product and contact the retailer for advice, if damage has occurred to
the unit which may have compromised the refrigerant system.
• Any repairs or maintenance must only be carried out on the unit by a suitably
qualified engineer.Before opening and servicing the unit,the authorized engineer
must be in possession of a copy of the manufacturer’s service manual and must
follow the safety information contained within it to ensure all hazards are minimized.
• The refrigerant system should not be perforated or punctured.
• Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires, fireplaces, etc.)
• Avoid mishandling the dehumidifier. Dropping, throwing the unit can cause
damage to its internals and increases the risks of operating it.
•
Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills. Do not operate and
follow troubleshoot procedure if the self-opening louvers do not open on power on.
For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be
7.9 in(20cm).
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. Vacuum both mesh and optional activated
carbon filters and wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry them before
placing them back in the unit.

dehumidi-fier to reduce vibration, noise and possible sinking of woodfloors or carpets.
BEFORE USE:
• Make sure that all products’ packaging has been removed.
• Some parts of the appliance have been lightly greased. Consequently, the first time
the appliance is used a light smoke may be detected. After a short time, this smoke
will disappear.
• To eliminate the smell given off by the appliance when used for the first time, it is
recommended to have it on at full power for 2 hours in a well-ventilated room.
• In order to save energy,do not open windows or doors while the unit is running.
• Place the unit on a hard / flat surface.
USE:
• Extend the cable completely before plugging in.
• Plug the appliance into the mains.
• Turn the appliance on, by using the on/off button.
• Select the desired function.
POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little
effect.In positioning the dehumidifier, please
ensure circulation of air is not restricted around the
unit.
Allow at least 7.9in(20cm) space around the unit.
This dehumidifier is designed only for indoor
residential or small office applications and any
commercial or industrial use will invalidate the
warranty.
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 dehumidifer should be positioned in a central and clear location so
that it can draw this moisr 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 peoblem in one area you can begin by positioning the
dehumidifier there and moving it to a more central lacation at a later date. 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.

NOTES
• If a permanent drainage pipe is fitted, the unit will not stop operating. Setting the
desired humidity to around 35% is good for laundry mode, a quick drying boost,
or in emergencies.It is not recommended for long normal operation in a domestic
or office environment.
To allow more moisture in the air, set a higher desired humidity (e.g. 60%-70%).
We recommend setting the desired humidity to 50-55%. This is great for domestic
operation and dry storage.
Setting the humidity to 60% is great for personal comfort and applications where 50%
RH is considered too dry.
Setting the humidity to 70% is ideal for unoccupied properties or where an economical
run is needed without the need to reduce the humidity further.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why doesn't the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is low?
This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 59°F (15°C),
If the temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat, the unit will
not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated
properties, boats or garages, pls check our desiccant range. Why doesn't the unit work/or
stops suddenly?
The water tank may be full or displaced. To rectify: empty the tank and carefully place
the tank back in the unit. Also the unit may be running in dehumidifying mode with a low
room temperature. Please check if the room temperature is lower than 41°F(5°C). If so,
the unit will stop working while in dehumidifying mode.(unit may be defrosted).
The ambient operating range is between 41°F(5°C) and 95°F(35°C) with a relative
humidity ranging from 30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between
59°F(15°C) and 89.6°F(32°C).
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Issue
Cause
