How It Works

W hen the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.

The unit is designed to operate between 41 F (5 C ), and 96 F (35 C ).

If the unit is switched off and needs to be switched on again, wait three minutes before doing so.

Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.

OPERATION & FEATURES

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 the POWER indicators will illuminate.

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.After a few seconds the unit will display the actual room's relative humidity. This will be the case after each and every change of setting.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 80%, so the room is kept at a

comfortable concentration.Pressing the + or - buttons will change the humidity selection in 5% increments.If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY - button will lower the Relative Humidity through the 5% increments until the Continuous indicator is lit and the display reads CO.

4. You can also use the FAN button to change the fan speed to HIGH()

or LOW( ). 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 , to extinguish the light simply press the FILTER button.

6. The TIMER function enables you to either start or stop the unit in the choice of 2 or 4 hours.If the unit is running then selecting TIMER at 2 hours will turn the unit

off after 2 hours.If the unit is off pressing the TIMER button and selecting say 4 hours, the unit will turn on after 4 hours and remain working in the selected mode.The POWER indicator must be lit to make sure power is being supplied to the unit.

7. To shut the unit down, press the ON/OFF button. Note: the power indicator will still be lit when the unit is turned off. Only removing the plug will extinguish these lights.
