Regularly check the power cord for wear
and damage (particularly where it enters
the appliance and the plug).
• Wipe dust off the power plug and insert
the plug firmly into the power outlet socket.
If the plug is not fully inserted in the power
outlet socket, dust may gather on the
connectors which in turn may cause fire
and/or electric shock.
• Operate the appliance only at the voltage
specified on the type plate.
• Do not place heavy objects on the appliance.
• Do not place the dehumidifier directly on
wood furniture or other surfaces that could
be damaged by water. Protect by placing the

surface. Kaz will not accept responsibilities
for property damage caused by water
spillage and/or leaking.
• To prevent spillage, empty the water tank
before relocating the Appliance.
• The operational temperature range for
this unit is between 5-35 °C.
• This dehumidifier is designed specifically
and approved for using with non-flammable
R134a refrigerant.
• Do not put your fingers or any objects, into
the air outlet and inlet. The internal fan
rotates at a high speed, and thus such an
action may result in an injury or malfunction.

modify the appliance. It may result in fire
and/or electric shock.
• Do not put the appliance near heat generating
devices (such as stoves, fan heaters, etc.).

ENGLISH
and dispose of them for recycling.
• Place the dehumidifier on a firm, even, waterproof surface.
Water can damage furniture and floor coverings and lead to fire
or electric shock. Make sure the dehumidifier is standing securely
so that it cannot tip over or fall down.
• You may find for the first few days of use that the appliance emits
an odour, this is quite normal and safe, and should disappear
quickly.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
• Moisture travels through the air much the same way scents and
smells do. Because moisture moves with air flow, position
the dehumidifier in a location that can draw the most air.
The effectiveness will be increased when placed in a location
where it is able to draw the most moisture from all directions
and circulate the air around the room.
• When placing the dehumidifier, ensure it is on a flat and level surface.
The dehumidifier may vibrate or operate less efficiently if the
surface is not level.
• The dehumidifier is fitted with castors for mobility purposes.
If you wish to move the dehumidifier, ensure it is first switched
off and the water tank is emptied.
• Do not use any extension cords, or adapters to connect this appliance.
Ensure to place the dehumidifier near to a fixed power socket.
OPERATIONS
• Press the power button
(a) to turn the unit on. The digital
display and continuous mode indicator light up. After 5 seconds,
the relative humidity actually present in the room appears
on the display.
Note: If the indication [LO] appears, the detected ambient humidity
is below 35%. If the indication [HI] appears, detected ambient
humidity is over 90%.
THE UNITS CAN WORK UNDER 2 MODES
Continuous mode - The unit will work continuously, independently
of the level of humidify in the room.
Humidistat mode - The unit will run automatically until the desired
humidity is reached.
The timer setting can be used with both modes.
