a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the
utility.
HOW YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your Bionaire™ dehumidifier draws moisture
laden air through the intake grill on the top of the
appliance. Humid air passes through refrigerated
coils where the moisture is removed and collected in
the tank.
For optimum performance, it is not recommended
to use this appliance in environments where the
temperature exceeds 37° C or is lower than 5° C.
The unit should only be used indoors in such areas
as a living room or bedroom. Never use it outdoors.
Make sure doors and windows are closed before
using the appliance.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Select a location for your dehumidifier, on a flat/
level surface, about 10 cm away from the wall.
2. Place unit on a stable and flat floor surface. If
the floor surface is not even, there is a risk the
unit might be unstable or topple over. Also, it
may result in excessive vibration and noise.
3. Plug the power cord into electrical outlet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Automatic Dehumidifying
1. Plug unit into an appropriate electrical outlet.
The unit will beep 3 times. If open, the air
oscillator will return to its closed position.
2. Press the on/off button to start the unit. The air
oscillator will open to its maximum position and
the unit will start the automatic dehumidification
function.
3. The auto button enables you to select between
automatic dehumidification and automatic
whisper quiet dehumidification.
4. Press the auto button once to switch the unit
between automatic dehumidification and whisper
quiet dehumidification.
5. In automatic dehumidification mode, the unit will
monitor the relative humidity of the environment
and adjust its functionality accordingly, cycling
on and off to maintain your desired comfort level.
6. In whisper quiet mode, the unit will operate as in
the automatic dehumidification mode but at low
speed. The quiet icon will be highlighted in the
LCD display.
7. The default humidity level is set at 60% relative
humidity (RH). Press the humidity control
buttons up and down to adjust the humidity
level as desired. Please refer to the humidity
control instructions below for additional operating
instructions.
8. To turn the unit off, press the On/Off button
again. The air oscillator will close and the unit
will stop working.
Continuous Dehumidifying
To set the unit to operate continuously, turn the unit
on and then press the continuous operation button.
The unit will operate in high speed, at 60% RH.
When you activate this mode, the continuous icon
will be shown in the LCD display.
NOTE: If you adjust the humidity control buttons
during the continuous operation, the unit will resume
the automatic dehumidification mode.
NOTE: If continuous drain function is not in use and
the water reservoir is not manually emptied, the unit
will automatically shut off when the water reservoir
becomes full.
Using The Timer
Once the unit is powered on and an operating mode
is selected, press the timer button continuously,
choosing from 1 to 8 hours as desired. The timer
icon will be highlighted on the LCD display and show
the number of hours remaining until the unit shuts
off.
Oscillating Function
Press the oscillation button to set the air oscillator to
oscillate automatically between 45 and 90 degrees.
Press again to select a stationary position for the air
oscillator at the desired angle between 45 and 90
degrees.
Humidity Control
When the unit starts, the humidity level of the
environment will be shown on the LCD display.
1. For automatic or whisper quiet modes, press the
humidity control buttons to select the desired
humidity level. The control allows you to adjust
level in 5% intervals from 40% to 80%.
2. If the unit humidity level sensor detects humidity
levels in the environment that are lower than
the selected humidity level, the compressor will
shut off and the fan will work on low speed. The
humidity level of the environment must be higher
than the humidity level selected in order for the
unit to start operating again.
