OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
START OPERATION
1)Place the product in an upright position on a flat, stable, and heat- resistant surface. Make sure there is nothing flammable or heat sensitive within 100cm (39 inches). Operating the product in any other position could cause a hazard.
2)Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket. The dehumidifier is suitable for operating on an electricity supply having the same voltage as that shown
on its rating label.
3)Make sure the water tank is correctly located. After switching on the machine for the first time, if the “Bucket Full” light illuminates, pull out the water tank and check that the “float” lever is able to move freely, then return the water tank to the correct position (Fig. 1).

WATER FULL
INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)
When the water tank is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the water full red light turns on and remains on until such time that the tank is emptied and/or correctly
This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operations are terminated). This is a safety feature. When the water tank is emptied and/or correctly
NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
BUCKET
FULL LIGHT
•When the water tank is full the machine will stop and the“Bucket Full” light will illuminate.
•The water tank should be carefully removed from the machine by sliding it outward from the front of the unit, and it should be emptied. When the empty tank is replaced properly in the machine, the unit will start up and run normally (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Please use both hands to carefully empty the water tank.

When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the float 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: Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system.
