WATER TANK OPERATION

The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and, by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and

operation of the dehumidiﬁ cation process.

When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the ﬂ oat 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: On some models, the fan will continue to run for approximately 2-3 minutes after the unit has stopped and

the bucket has been removed. As a result, water may drip from the tray onto the base of the unit, and then onto

the ﬂ oor. Please ensure that you protect your wood and carpet from such leakage.

IMPORTANT

Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) ﬂ oat switch system. Proper installation

of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidiﬁ er operation.

Operating Instructions

DEHUMIDIFYING

Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidiﬁ er will help to protect your home and valued

possessions from damage due to swelling caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidiﬁ er 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.

Note: For optimal performance, ensure that the unit is set at least 10% lower than the relative humidity level. It is normal

for the humidity to vary by 5% above or below the set humidity. It is recommended that in normal conditions, the humidity

be set at 40-45%.

DEHUMIDIFYING MODE INSTRUCTIONS

When the unit is ﬁ rst connected to the electrical outlet, the power light will not light up until the “on/off” button is pressed.

When the “on/off” button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidiﬁ er automatically defaults to:

Display: Current ambient room humidity (RH%)

Humidity Setting: 60% RH

Fan Speed: High.

Note: Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidiﬁ er may not start automatically

under the default setting (this is an indication that 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 dehumidiﬁ er settings

35%-55% until the “humidistat” (sensor) recognizes conditions that will allow the unit to operate.

Dehumidifying Mode Selection:

1. The unit enters dehumidify mode when the ON/OFF button is pressed.

2a. Press the / buttons to select a desired RH operating value (35%-85%).

2b. 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. You can choose a fan speed (normal/turbo) using the keypad. The speed you select is identiﬁ ed by the (illuminated)

indicator light located directly above the selection made.
