Unit setup

• Place the unit in an upright position on a stable, flat surface. (Please ensure unit is not sitting on its own cable)
• Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away from a wall or furniture (see graphic above).
• Please keep clothes at a safe distance of 30cm from air outlet of the unit to prevent water dripping into the unit.
• For best results, position the dehumidifier somewhere central such as a landing or a hallway. As long as the internal doors are open, the excess moisture from all of the rooms in the house will migrate naturally towards the dehumidifier and be processed.

CAUTION: Do not place the dehumidifier in a broom cupboard, boiler room, small unventilated rooms etc. Avoid placing the dehumidifier in small confined areas or in close proximity to a radiator or heat source such as tumble driers, cookers etc. to prevent the dehumidifier from overheating.

Do not use this dehumidifier in dusty or industrial environments where particles can get into the dehumidifier. This will cause a malfunction and void your warranty.

Note: After turning the appliance OFF. After turning the appliance OFF using the ON/OFF button, the fan will continue to run for a two minute period. This is a normal procedure and helps to cool and protect the internal components. During these two minutes DO NOT remove the power plug from the electrical socket outlet; wait for the fan to stop running.

Digital Display

The digital display will show the room RH level when the unit is in operation.

When the Relative Humidity button is pressed, the digital display will show the selected RH level. Once the desired RH level has been set, the digital display will show the set RH level for 3 seconds before returning to show the room RH level.

When Laundry power level is selected, the digital display will show “CO” for 3 seconds before returning to show the room RH level.

ION

Press the "ION" button to turn the ioniser on and off. When the LED is on,
the unit releases negative ions from the air outlet to purify the air.

Relative humidity

Press the “RELATIVE HUMIDITY” button to select your desired relative humidity (RH) level.

The selected RH level will show up on the digital display and the corresponding LED indicators will light up.

The RH setting will change at 5% increments with either one or two LEDs lit up. For example, when the selected RH level is 45%, both 40% and 50% LED indicators will light up.

The set RH level will remain on the digital display for 3 seconds before returning to show the room humidity level again.

Mode	Description
60%	Maintain the room at a comfortable indoor humidity level Note: Use this mode for maximum energy saving and quiet operation
50%	Inhibit mould and bacteria growth Note: Use this mode for daily normal household use to maintain humidity at a healthy level of 55% RH (bacteria and mould will not breed at this level)
40%	Super dry mode to prevent condensation Note: Use this to control a very damp room in the first couple of days and then switch to 50% or 60% to save energy

 

Note: 

• RH indicated has a ±10% RH tolerance and may vary depending on room temperature.
• When the unit’s humidity level has been set, the heater and fan will operate at the specified power level until the room humidity level reaches the set humidity level, unless the ambient temperature
  becomes too high.
• Once the desired humidity level is reached, the humidity setting indicators will flash and the unit will pause dehumidification (the heater and fan will turn off) after 2 minutes of internal cooling. Every 15 minutes, the fan will run for 2 minutes to check the indoor humidity level. If the room humidity is higher than 5% of the set desired humidity level, the appliance will restart dehumidification. If not, the appliance will pause and check again after 15 minutes. During this time, the buttons can still be used to change the settings while the fan is paused.

Power level

Press the "POWER LEVEL" button to select the desired power level for the fan and heater.

The digital display will show "CO" temporarily when Laundry is selected.

Mode	Description
Auto	Convenient automatic operation Fan and heater settings will be automatically controlled Fan and heater will run on high when room humidity is 10% above the desired setting Fan and heater will run on low when room humidity is less than 5% above the desired setting
Low (Quiet)	Power saving, low noise and long term operation, suitable for daily use Fan and Heater runs on low speed
High	For rapid dehumidification Fan and Heater runs on high speed
Laundry (Continuous)	Suitable in winter to dry clothes faster Provides heated air on high speed continuously, only stopping when the water tank is full. Humidity setting will be disabled (all humidity setting indicators will switch off) It can take between 2-8 hours to dry your laundry. You may want to enable a timer setting when using Laundry mode to avoid wasting energy. You may use this mode for extreme drying of very damp rooms and then switch to Auto or Low after a few hours. To prevent excess energy consumption, avoid using Laundry mode for normal daily use.

 

Timer mode

Press the “TIMER” button to select your desired running time (2, 4, 8, or 12 hours). The unit will automatically switch off at the end of the selected time period.

When no “TIMER” is set (the LED is off), the unit will run continuously, or until the water tank becomes full.

Emptying the water tank

1. When the water tank is full, the “FULL” LED illuminates and the unit will stop running in a few minutes.
2. Do not move the unit or remove the water tank if the unit is still operating, as water may leak, damage the unit or cause an electric shock.
3. To remove the water tank, pull it out gently by gripping the bottom of the water tank and lift carefully.
4. Remove the cover of water tank first, then pour the water away, clean the water tank and restore the cover and the water tank to the correct position.

Continuous drainage option

You may use a hose with an inner diameter of 12mm for continuous drainage:

• Remove the plug from the drain hole at the bottom of the water tank. Keep the plug for future use.
• Fit the hose firmly on the drain connector. The hose must lead to an appropriate drain at a downward slope with no sharp bends.

NOTE:

• Ensure the water tank is fully installed in position before inserting the hose and before running the appliance.
• Before removing the water tank, ensure that the hose is disconnected.

 

Maintenance

Cleaning the unit

Turn off the unit, wait for the fan to stop and unplug from the power socket.

• Clean the surface with a soft damp cloth.
• Dry thoroughly with a towel after cleaning.
• In order to avoid damage, do not wash the machine with water, or let water drip into the air inlet or outlet.

Cleaning the filter

Clean the filter at least once a month to keep your air clean and prolong the life of your dehumidifier.

• Turn off the unit and remove the filter cover and filter from the unit.
• Clean the filter gently using a vacuum cleaner with a smooth head attachment (do not use rotating brushes). Alternatively, wash the filter and wipe gently until thoroughly dry.
• Replace the filter and the cover in position.
• If the filter is covered with dust, the airflow and performance of the unit will be affected. Check the filter periodically to ensure any dust is removed.

Important: Do not operate the unit without the air filter. Dust build-up
in the unit can cause malfunction and overheating.

Storing the unit

• Turn off the unit, wait for it to stop and unplug from the power socket.
• Clean and dry the water tank. Leave the unit to drain for approximately one day.
• Clean the filter and the unit. Cover the unit to prevent it from gathering dust. Store upright in a cool dry place.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting guide

Smell coming from the dehumidifier

When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might notice a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odours from items like cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and then when the desiccant is heated, the smell is discharged into the room. This smell has been described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of a fault.

Amount of water collected

When you first use your dehumidifier, it will work harder to reduce the room humidity to its target of e.g. 60% RH humidity setting. This is the time when it will produce the most water and need emptying most frequently. As the room becomes dryer the dehumidifier collects less water. This is normal. When the target relative humidity has been reached the air coming out of the dehumidifier will not be heated. This is because there is no need for dehumidification at this point and the dehumidifier is sampling the air to check the current relative humidity to see if dehumidification is required.

If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you need to dry the air further, then try lowering the desired humidity level to 40%. Avoid using Laundry mode for this purpose. Note that condensation may be more common if you have single glazed windows or if the outside air temperature drops to freezing.

Ventilation

The dehumidifier must not be placed in a confined space. Move the dehumidifier to a well ventilated area for example in a hallway, landing or a ventilated room. Ensure that it is not in close proximity to any form of heat source, such as a radiator or appliances that generate heat (e.g. tumble dryer or cooker). The air inlet and outlet must not be obstructed.
