Dehumidifier Features & Operating Instructions

Dehumidifier Features

ELECTRONIC CONTROL

Before you begin, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the control panel and all its functions (as shown below).

Operating Instructions

Allow the unit to reach room temperature before operating.

To begin operating the dehumidifier, follow these steps:

1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 115 volt AC outlet.

NOTE If the "BUCKET FULL" light is on, remove the bucket and re-install to reset the float switch.

2. To turn the unit on, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will run in the factory setting of CONTINUOUS and high fan speed. In the CONTINUOUS mode, the unit will only display CO and not the room humidity. It is recommended you leave the unit running in the CONTINUOUS setting for the first three or four days until the sweating and dampness odors have stopped.

3. After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY or buttons to choose a value between 35% to 85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable humidity. Pressing the or buttons will change the humidity selection in 5% increments. 5 seconds after you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual room humidity. If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY button will lower the Relative Humidity through 5% decrements until the display reads CO.

4. You can also use the FAN SPEED button to change the fan speed to Hi, Med or Lo. The indicator light will show the setting you have selected. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal.

5. The Filter reset light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. At this time refer to the care and cleaning section to remove and clean the filter. Once the filter has been cleaned and replaced, simply press the Filter reset button to extinguish the light.

6. The TIMER function enables you to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the choice from 0.5 hour to 24 hours. If the unit is running, then selecting Timer will turn the unit off in the hours that will be set (Delay Stop). If the unit is off, then selecting Timer will turn the unit on in the hours that will be set (Delay Start). TIMER setting: First press TIMER button, then adjust timer setting, by tapping or holding the or button to change the delay timer at 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then by 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining (8,7.5,7, etc.) until the unit either starts or stops. For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity maintained will be the same as previous setting. After TIMER setting finishes, pressing TIMER button again at any time will stop the TIMER function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the unit either starts or stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated.

NOTE

1. Before entering TIMER setting, make sure power is being supplied to the unit.

2. Before entering TIMER setting, make sure pressing HUMIDITY or button sets one desired room humidity first.

7. To shut the unit down, press the ON/OFF button

Note: After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.

Fault Codes

1. If the display reads "AS" or "ES" , a sensor has failed. Contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center

2.If the display reads "EC" , check the following operating conditions. Outlet voltage should be 115V±10% and the surrounding temperature should be with in the range of 41 °F to 89 °F. Unplug the unit and plug it in again under normal operating conditions. If the "EC" code persists, contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center.

DEHUMIDIFIER DOES NOT OPERATE.

• Wall plug disconnected. Push plug firmly into wall outlet.
• House fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse with time delay type or reset circuit breaker.
• Water in the bucket has reached its preset level. Dehumidifier automatically turns off when this occurs. Empty bucket and return bucket to position.

DEHUMIDIFIER RUNS TOO MUCH

• Windows or doors near dehumidifier are open to outdoors. Close all windows or doors to outside.
• Area to be dehumidified is too large. Check with your dealer to see if capacity is adequate. Dehumidifier is in the CONTINUOUS mode and will remain on in this mode, use the humidity button or knob to set a RH% higher level

• Dehumidifier must be placed in a space that does not restrict air flowing into the rear coil or out of the front grill.
• Dehumidifier has been installed or restarted recently. The higher the moistuire in the room, the longer the dehumidifier will operate.

DEHUMIDIFIER IS OPERATING BUT ROOM IS NOT DRY ENOUGH.

• Humidity setting is too high. Press the HUMIDITY button or rotate knob to a lower setting or choose CONTINUOUS for maximum dryness.
• Dehumidifier has been installed or restarted recently. The higher the moisture in the room air, the longer it takes for the room air to become dry.
• Room temperature is too low. Unit will not operate satisfactorily if the room temperature is below 41 °F(5 °C). See “Operating Conditions“.
• Refer to causes under DEHUMlDIFIER RUNS TOO MUCH.
• Dehumidifier does not have sufficient clearance to operate. Air flow to the air outlet is blocked. See “Selecting a Location“.

FROST APPEARS ON COILS BEHIND THE FILTER

• Dehumidifier has been turned on recently. This is normal due to refrigerant rushing through the coil. Frost will usually disappear within 60 minutes.
• Room Temperature is too low. All models will operate satisfactorily at temperatures greater than 41 °F (5 °C).

FAN NOISE.

• Air is moving through the dehumidifier. This is a normal sound.
