When ambient temperature is below 5°C (41°F) frost may form. The
appliance will defrost automatically, during which the compressor
temporarily shuts off while the fan continues to operate. Once the
defrost process is finished, the appliance will resume its previous
operational settings
The recommend setting is between 40-45%.
Yes, usually this air feels warm.
There may not be enough humidity in your environment or the relative
humidity might be set higher than ambient humidity.
In continuous mode, the fan will run continuously.
In smart dehumidify mode or manual mode the fan will cycle on and off.
No, an extension cord may not be used.
The on and off timers can be used at the same time however, they will only
cycle one time and then resume normal functioning.
To use the continuous drain you must purchase a garden hose and female
threaded end.
The dimensions required are:
•
female threaded end: ID:M=1''
•
garden hose: ID≥Φ5/16''.
Remove the cover from the continuous drain outlet and attach the female
threaded end and the garden hose to the back of the appliance. Direct the
other end of the garden hose to a bucket or floor drain.
The filter light comes on automatically after about 250 hours of use even if
the filter is clean. Clean the filter and then press the filter button to turn the
filter light off.
This is the power cord storage band. It can be clipped onto the back of the
dehumidifier and used to wrap the power cord during long term storage.
