OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

DEFROST

When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 18°C), the surface of the evaporator may accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency of the machine. When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C. The time taken to defrost may vary. If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the room temperature remains below 5°C the machine should be switched off.

DEHUMIDIFYING

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 the air as the 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 MODE SELECTION:

1)To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.

2)Press the humidity or buttons to select a desired RH operating value (30%-90%).

FAN SPEED SELECTION: Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection made.

NOTE: The fan runs constantly to circulate air and get a proper humidity reading; while fan only is running, no moisture will be removed from the air. Moisture is only removed when the compressor is running.

AIR FILTER

Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter. This filter is 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 CLEANING STEPS:

1)Pull the air filter out gently (Fig. 3).

2)Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner, or wash it with clean water and dry with a dry cloth.

3)Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.

One of the primary features of the Danby DDR series is their impressive moisture removal capacity. The DDR5009REE can remove up to 50 pints of moisture daily, making it ideal for spaces up to 3,000 square feet. The DDR6009REE follows closely, with a similar capacity suited for medium-sized areas. The DDR7009REE takes it a step further, capable of handling moisture in larger spaces up to 4,500 square feet. This variety ensures that homeowners have options tailored to their specific needs.

Energy efficiency is another standout characteristic of the Danby DDR series. They are Energy Star certified, meaning they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This not only helps reduce electricity bills but also minimizes environmental impact, making these models an eco-friendly choice for dehumidification.

Equipped with a user-friendly electronic control panel, these dehumidifiers feature an adjustable humidity setting and a built-in humidistat that automatically optimizes moisture removal based on the current conditions. Users can easily monitor humidity levels and set their preferred levels, ensuring a comfortable living environment.

The DDR series also incorporates advanced technology for quiet operation, with sound levels reduced compared to standard models. This makes them suitable for use in bedrooms and living areas without causing disturbance.

Maintenance is simplified with the inclusion of a removable, washable filter, which helps to trap dust and particles, promoting cleaner air. Additionally, these dehumidifiers come with a continuous drainage option, allowing for hassle-free water removal.

Overall, the Danby DDR5009REE, DDR7009REE, and DDR6009REE dehumidifiers blend functionality with modern aesthetics, ensuring they not only perform effectively but also fit seamlessly into various home decors. Whether you're combating dampness in your basement or managing humidity in your main living areas, this series offers reliable and efficient solutions to enhance indoor air quality and comfort.
