DRY (Dehumidifier) Operating Instructions

NOTE: The exhaust hoses do not have to be installed during dehumidifier mode.

Both internal and external water tanks must be installed during dehumidifer mode.

1)Press the I/O (on/off) key pad to switch on the unit.

2)Press the MODE key until the word DRY (Dehumidifying) appears in the display window. Each depression of the MODE key will advance to a different mode setting (Cool-Dry-Fan).

3)Press the appropriate (TEMP / TIMER ADJ) key to select a (relative humidity) operating setting between 35% ~ 90% RH (adjustable in increments of 5%)

For continuous (non-stop) dehumidifer operation

press the (TEMP / TIMER ADJ) key pad until the symbol “- - “ appears in the display window.

NOTE: The compressor will not cycle off during “continuous” mode.

The set relative humidity level will flash in the display window for approximately 5 seconds then automatically revert back to display actual room ambient relative humidity conditions. NOTE: The set operating RH level must be programed within the 5 second (flashing) condition. To view the “set” relative humidity program any time, press either of the TEMP/TIMER ADJ buttons.

NOTE: There is no fan speed adjustment during dehumidifying mode. (the fan speed is factory set for “low”)

The blue (RUN) indicator light illuminates indicating dehumidifying mode is operational (there may be a slight delay of 10-30 seconds before the cycle begins, this is normal).

IMPORTANT: The relative humidity setting selected should always be set a few degrees lower than the room ambient relative humidity conditions, to ensure normal dehumidifying operation. NOTE: it is not recommended to operate your Dehumidifier, below temperatures of 15.5°C (60°F), this could result in icing-up conditions of the evaporator coils, and minimize efficiency.

4)Condensed water will be accumulated in the external / internal water tanks. When the external tank is full, water will backflow into the internal tank. When the internal tank is full, the unit will alarm (beep) for 20 deconds and the Water Full indicator light will illuminate. At this time dehumidification will stop immediately. However, the fan motor will continue to operate (this is normal). Carefully remove both water tanks from the cabinet, dispose of the water. Replace the water tanks back to their original positions and the Dehumidifying process will automatically resume. It may take 3-5 minutes for the compressor to re-start. This is normal.

5)This unit also has provisions for a continuous “drain” option (for basement applications having a floor drain). The required drain hose extension is not included with this unit. It can be purchased through any local Hardware Store. Drain Hose Specifications: Standard garden hose.

For continuous direct drain operation. Remove (unscrew) the drain cap at the back of the cabinet located directly above the external tank quick connect. Attach suitable length (of garden hose) to the direct drain fitting. (do not over tighten) Position the open end of the drain hose as close as possible to the floor drain. Check the hose connection for leaks.

NOTE: Direct drain operation is intended for floor drain applications only. Direct drain operation should not be used in stem pipe and/or sink applications.
