OPERATING THE UNIT

When using the unit

When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours. This unit is designed to operate with a working OO OOenvironment between 5C/41F and 35C/95F. If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again quickly, allow approximately three minutes for the correct operation to resume. Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet, which is also being used for other electrical appliances. Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet. Plug the unit into a electrical socket-outlet with earth connection. Make sure the Water bucket is correctly fitted otherwise the unit will not operate properly. NOTE:When the water in the bucket reaches to a certain level,please be careful to move the machine to avoid it falling down.

Casters(At four points on the bottom of unit) Casters can move freely. Do not force casters to move over carpet, nor move the unit with water in the bucket. (The unit may tip over and spill water.)

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.

Positioning the unit

Do not use outdoors. This dehumidifer is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications. Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water. Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation. Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall below 5 C(41 F). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 5 C(41 F), which may reduce performance. Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator. Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored. Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent

moisture damage. The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.

Removing the collected water 1. Pull out the bucket a little.

2. Hold both sides of the bucket with even strength, and pull it out from the unit.

3. Pour the water out.

There are two ways to remove collected water.

1. Use the bucket When the unit is off,if the bucket is full, the unit will beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the digital display shows P2. When the unit is on,if the bucket is full, the compressor turns off and the fan turns off after 30 seconds for drying the water of the condenser, then the unit will beep 8 times and the Full indicator light will flash, the digital

display shows P2. Slowly pull out the bucket. Grip the left and right handles securely, and carefully pull out straight so water does not spill. Do not put the tank on the floor because the bottom of the bucket is uneven. Otherwise the bucket will fall and cause the water to spill. Throw away the water and replace the bucket. The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate. The machine will re-start when the bucket is restored in its correct position.

NOTES:

When you remove the bucket, do not touch any parts inside of the unit. Doing so may damage the product. Be sure to push the bucket gently all the way into the unit. Banging the bucket against anything or failing to push it in securely may cause the unit not to operate. When you remove the bucket,if there is some water in the unit you must dry it .

OPERATING THE UNIT

2. Continuous draining Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the unit with a water hose (Id 5/16,not included))with a female threaded end (ID:M=1 ,not included). Install the drain hose onto the adaptor A (See Fig.7, placed in the bucket). Remove the plastic cover from the back drain outlet of the unit and set aside and remove bucket,then insert the drain hose through the drain outlet of the unit and securely press it into the connector on the front of the unit.(See.Fig.9) Tighten the adaptor A and the unit by using two screws (placed in the bucket). Install the female threaded end of the water hose into the adaptor A.(See.Fig.10),then lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility. Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks. Direct the hose toward the drain,making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the warter flowing. Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow smoothly.Do never let it up.. Place the bucket back in the unit and make sure that it is located correctly. Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for continuous draining to start..

3. Clean the air filter

Remove the filter every two weeks based on normal operating conditions. Remove the filter from the top of the unit (See.Fig.11a), or to remove the filter,remove Bucket then pull filter downwards (See.Fig.11b). Wash the filter with clean water then dry. Re-install the filter,replace Bucket.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.

After turning off the unit, wait one day before emptying the bucket. Clean the main unit, water bucket and air filter.

Cover the unit with a plastic bag. Store the unit upright in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Wrap the cord and bundle it with the band(Fig.12) .

4. When not using the unit for long time periods


CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Care and cleaning of the dehumidifier Turn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

1. Clean the Grille and Case

Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.

2. Clean the bucket


Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty and rinse.

NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After clean, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
