•
Make sure the plug is pushed completely into the outlet
•
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or
reset the breaker
•
The unit turns off automatically when either condition occurs.
Change to a lower setting or empty the bucket and replace properly
•
The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the unit to
operate.
•
There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to prevent tripping
of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start
normally for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.
•
When fi rst installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the desired
dryness
•
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front
or back of the dehumidifi er. See the "Location" section.
•
See the "Air fi lter" section
•
For drier air, press the ▼ button and set to a lower percent value (%)
•
Check that all doors, windows and other openings are securely
closed
•
Install the dehumidifi er away from the dryer. The dryer should be
vented to the outside.
•
Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures. Lower room
temperatures will reduce the moisture removal rate. Modes are de-
signed to be operated at temperatures above 5°C (41°F)
•
Set to 40% RH. Allow bucket to fi ll and then empty bucket. Adjust
controller to desired % RH.
•
The capacity of your dehumidifi er may not be adequate
•
Close all doors and windows
•
This is normal. Frost will usually disappear within 60 minutes. See
the "Defrost" section
•
This is normal. Wait approximately 3 minutes and set the fan as
desired.
•
This is normal
•
Check the hose connection. See "Continuous Drain" section
•
Disconnect the hose if using the bucket to collect water, see "Contin-
uous Drain" section.
•
Clean the pump fi lter
•
Check that the hose has no kinks in it.
