ALL OF THE ABOVE FUNCTIONS CAN ALSO BE SET IN STANDBY MODE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
THE OFF TIMER WHICH CAN ONLY BE SET WHEN THE MACHINE IS OPERATIONAL.
With all desiccant dehumidifiers it is important that they are able to cool down after dehumidifying
to get rid of the heat that has built up inside them during operation. This is why when you press
the Off button the fan keeps running for ten minutes before the machine turns off. This action is
normal and you should let Zambezi do this and not unplug him until this cool down has finished.
Zambezi benefits from the unique Meaco Control Logic that makes him a much better dehumidifier.
If you select one of the humidistat options between 40 – 70%rh then Meaco Control logic will
automatically work.
When the target relative humidity has been reached the dehumidifier will stop drying the air but the
fan will continue to run for 10 more minutes. When this happens no more water will be collected,
this is perfectly normal. The fan then goes to sleep for 30 minutes after which it will wake up and
sample the air for 3 minutes in low fan speed so that the dehumidifier knows when to start collecting
water again, but if the relative humidity remains below the target then the fan will go to sleep again
for another 30 minutes and so on.
It is normal to see the relative humidity reading on the display increase when the fan is off and Zambezi is asleep. This is
because the reading is now displaying the relative humidity inside Zambezi which will be higher than the room reading.
When the fan comes back on then the reading will be of the air from within the room.
There are many features within Zambezi to help you save energy such as the unique way the
Laundry function works and the Meaco Control Logic. You can also choose how much energy
Zambezi consumes by understanding that in low fan speed he will be using 300 watts and in medium
or high fan speed it will be 600 watts.
If you set the dehumidifier to maintain a particular relative humidity and the room relative humidity
increases to 20%rh higher than that setting then the machine will increase its fan speed to bring the
relative humidity down to within 20%rh and will then drop the fan speed back down to where you set
it.
