DRY (Dehumidifier) Operating Instructions (cont’d)

6)To connect the continuous drain option. Remove the water tank from the cabinet. Inside the cabinet (water tank area) you will find a section of hose hanging beside the water tank, which is plugged/capped at the end. Remove the plug from the end of the hose and install the drain hose connector (included with this unit) into the end of this hose section. Route the end of the hose (with drain connection) into the water tank, then through the hole provided in the face of the water tank. Attach a section of Garden Hose (to suit your continuous drain option requirements) to the drain hose connector. Place the open end of the hose directly over the drain area in your basement floor. Fig. 19.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure the drain hose section routed through water tank does not interfere with the correct positioning of the water tank inside the cabinet, or the fail-safe switch mechanism will be activated, not allowing the unit to operate.

7)You must remember to reverse the continuous drain option procedure re-cap/plugthe internal drain hose and/or leave the internal drain hose (unplugged) inside the water tank, when re- locating your unit to a location (room) where continuous draining is not possible. Failure to comply with these procedures will result

in flooding.

CAUTION

During air conditioning and dehumidifying modes, if the compressor cycle is interupted (unplugged, power failure,etc.) and reinstated immediately thereafter, (within 3-5 minutes) a “compressor protection circuit” is automatically self-affected. The mode indicator light will flash “green” for approximately 10 seconds, confirming the protection circuit is activated. The compressor cannot operate during a “compressor protecton” condition. (this is normal) It may take 3-5 minutes before the “protection circuit” self-deactivates.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE UNIT (COMPRESSOR) DURING THIS PERIOD. Upon re-starting the unit (turn 1/0 switch on) all program information(i.e. time, mode, fan speed, auto timed programs) will have to be re-set.

ATTENTION

Removal and/or partial displacement of the water tank will cause the compressor to stop operating (this is a safety feature). This condition will cause the unit to “beep 8 times” and the “water full” light will flash (red) continuously until corrected. The compressor cannot operate during a flashing “red” light condition. Check the following;

1.Is the water tank full?

Empty and re-install water tank.

2.Has the water tank been accidently displaced? Re-position water tank.

The “red” light will stop flashing automatically when the water tank has been emptied and/or correctly re-positioned.
