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.

DEHUMIDIFYING

When the unit is first connected to the electrical outlet, the (green)

power light starts to flash and continues to flash until the “on/off”

MODE INSTRUCTIONS

button is pressed.

 

 

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 by-passed and the compressor will operate non-stop regardless of humidity conditions.

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 re-installing.

3)To re-install the air filter, slide the filter back inside the tracks and push inward.

DDR2509EE specifications

The Danby DDR2509EE is a high-performance dehumidifier designed to combat humidity in spaces up to 2,500 square feet. It is particularly effective in areas such as basements, laundry rooms, and other moisture-prone environments. Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, this unit not only helps to improve air quality but also fosters a healthier living environment by reducing mold and mildew.

One of the standout features of the Danby DDR2509EE is its ability to remove up to 25 pints of moisture from the air daily. This capacity makes it ideal for medium-sized rooms, ensuring that moisture levels are kept in check. The tank has a generous 16.5-pint capacity, enabling longer operation times before requiring a refill, which makes it both convenient and efficient.

An important aspect of the Danby DDR2509EE is its Energy Star certification. This designates it as an energy-efficient option, reducing energy consumption without compromising performance. Users benefit from lower utility bills while enjoying effective moisture control.

The unit features a Continuous Drain option, allowing for uninterrupted operation by connecting a standard garden hose to the dehumidifier's drain outlet. This is particularly useful for extended use, as it eliminates the need to manually empty the water tank frequently.

Another key characteristic is its user-friendly electronic controls, which include a programmable timer and adjustable humidistat. This allows users to easily set their desired humidity levels. The smart set-and-forget feature enables automatic operation, ensuring that the unit works optimally according to the conditions of the environment.

Additionally, the Danby DDR2509EE comes with a washable air filter that can be easily removed and cleaned. This helps maintain a clean airflow and prolongs the life of the dehumidifier.
