DEFROST
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
6
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.
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.

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.
