OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifier will help to protect your home and valued possessions from damage (swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier 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.

When the “on/off” button is activated (pressed), the flashing (power) light turns to a steady state “on” condition and the dehumidifier automatically defaults to:
Display: Current Ambient Room Humidity (RH%)
Humidity Setting: 60% RH
Fan Speed: High
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifier may not start automatically under the default setting (this is an indication the humidity level of the surrounding environment is lower than the “default” setting of 60% RH). Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through each of the different dehumidifier settings 35% - 80% until the “humidstat” (sensor) recognizes conditions that will allow the unit to operate.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1)To turn the unit on press the ON/OFF button.
2)Press the humidity “UP” or “DOWN” button to select a desired RH operating value (35% - 80%)
OR
2a) Press the CONTINUOUS button. When CONTINUOUS mode is selected, the humidistat (sensor) will be
FAN SPEED SELECTION:
3)Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection made.
AIR FILTER | Your dehumidifer features a removable Air Filter, located at the front of the | |
unit (behind the air intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment. | ||
|
The air filter plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimize) dust/dirt particles from the surrounding environment. A blocked/clogged air filter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on operating efficiency.
To maintain maximum operating efficiency:
•The filter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every
2 weeks)
•More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER REMOVAL:
1)Grasp the filter handle, and pull the filter out. The filter will slide out easily (see Fig. 2)
2)Clean the filter thoroughly using a vacuum cleaner or wash using lukewarm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly before
