OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)

DEFROST

When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 18°C), the surface of the evaporator may
accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency of the machine. When this happens the machine
will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C. The time taken to
defrost may vary. If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the
room temperature remains below 5°C the machine should be switched off.
DEHUMIDIFYING
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air.
A dehumidifier will help to protect your home and valued possessions from damage (swelling) caused by
moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air as the moist air passes over a
dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained, and collected insider
an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned into the
room environment is elevated several degrees, causing the surrounding air temperature to increase
(slightly). This process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1) To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.
2) Press the humidity or buttons to select a desired RH operating value (30%-90%).
FAN SPEED SELECTION:
Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located
directly above the selection made.

AIR FILTER

Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter. This filter is located at the front of the
unit (behind the air intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment. The air filter
plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/dirt particles from the
surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air filter reduces air intake, impacting
negatively on operating efficiency. To maintain maximum operating efficiency, the
filter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks). More frequent cleaning
may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS:
Fig. 5
1) Pull the air filter out gently (Fig. 4).
2) Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner, or wash it with clean water and dry
with a dry cloth.
3) Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.
