Operating Instructions
WATER TANK OPERATION
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and, by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and
operation of the dehumidifi cation process.
When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the fl oat switch actuator (inside the tank)
breaks contact with the safety switch. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor
system, preventing moisture from being condensed.
Note: On some models, the fan will continue to run for approximately 2-3 minutes after the unit has stopped and
the bucket has been removed. As a result, water may drip from the tray onto the base of the unit, and then onto
the fl oor. Please ensure that you protect your wood and carpet from such leakage.
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) fl oat switch system. Proper installation
of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifi er operation.
DEHUMIDIFYING
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifi er will help to protect your home and valued
possessions from damage due to swelling caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifi er removes moisture from
air as moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained, and
collected inside an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned into
the room environment is elevated several degrees causing the surrounding air temperature to increase (slightly). This
process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
Note: For optimal performance, ensure that the unit is set at least 10% lower than the relative humidity level. It is normal
for the humidity to vary by 5% above or below the set humidity. It is recommended that in normal conditions, the humidity
be set at 40-45%.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE INSTRUCTIONS
When the unit is fi rst connected to the electrical outlet, the power light will not light up until the "on/off" button is pressed.
When the "on/off" button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidifi er automatically defaults to:
Display: Current ambient room humidity (RH%)
Humidity Setting: 40% RH
Fan Speed: High.
Note: Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifi er may not start automatically
under the default setting (this is an indication that the humidity level of the surrounding environment is lower than the
"default" setting of 40% RH). Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through each of the different dehumidifi er settings
35%-55% until the "humidistat" (sensor) recognizes conditions that will allow the unit to operate.
Dehumidifying Mode Selection:
1. The unit enters dehumidify mode when the ON/OFF button is pressed.
2a. Press the / buttons to select a desired RH operating value (35%-85%).
2b. Press the continuous button. When continuous mode is selected, the humidistat (sensor) will be by-passed and the
compressor will operate non-stop regardless of humidity conditions.
Fan Speed Selection:
3. You can choose a fan speed (normal/turbo) using the keypad. The speed you select is identifi ed by the (illuminated)
indicator light located directly above the selection made.
