OPERATION
After unpacking, examine all external features to confirm damage-free
shipment. Report all defects and damage at once.
Before connecting it to the mains you should ensure that the humidistat is
turned fully anti-clockwise. Connect to a grounded 15A standard household
electrical outlet then the humidistat control should be turned clockwise until
you hear the unit operate. To protect the compressor, you should allow 5
minutes between switching the dehumidifier off and on again.
OPERATING THE HUMIDISTAT
The humidistat works in a similar way to a central heating thermostat, but
instead of measuring temperature, it measures the amount of moisture in the
air. You may select the level of moisture you require (known as Relative
Humidity) and the unit will operate to achieve that level and then switch off.
As a general guide, the higher the setting the lower the Relative Humidity will
be before the machine switches off. Therefore the machine will operate longer
to achieve this. If the dehumidifier switches off and drying is not complete it is
possible that the humidistat setting is too low and may need increasing.
Conversely, if you no longer have condensation and the unit is still operating,
then the humidistat setting may need reducing.
EMPTYING THE WATER CONTAINER
When the water container is full an internal float mechanism will switch the
unit off. This is indicated by the illumination of the “full” light on the front
control panel. The water container is at the rear of the unit. To empty the
container, carefully remove the water container. When emptied replace
PERMANENT DRAINAGE
When your dehumidifier is to be used constantly in one area, it can be fitted to
drain continuously, eliminating the need to empty the water container. Ideal
when the property is to be left unoccupied.
For this you will need a length of PVC tubing, 10mm internal diameter.
Disconnect your dehumidifier from the power supply before fitting permanent
drainage. Remove the water container; remove the blind grommet on the back
face of the unit and then the blanking bung from the drainage point visible
through the hole. Feed tubing through hole where grommet was located and
onto the visible drain point. Lastly fit the blanking bung to the drain point on
the underside of the drain tray. The water container can be replaced whilst the
drainage kit is in use for safe storage
