OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INDICATOR LIGHT
FUNCTION
Power Light (Green):
When the unit is first connected to an electrical outlet, the (green) power light starts to flash
and continues to flash until the “on/off” button is pressed. When the “on/off” burron is activated,
the flashing (power) light turns to a steady state “on” condition. The dehumidifier will
automatically default to the factory default setting (see Factory Default Setting below for
details).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on the humidity conditions of the surrounding environment,
the dehumidifier may not start automatically when the “on/off” button is pressed (see
dehumidifier operating instructions for details).
In the event of a power failure, the unit will not re-start automatically when power is restored.
To re-start the unit you must press the “on/off” keypad again.
Water Full Indicator Light (Red):
When the water tank is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the (water full) red
light turns on and remains on until such time the tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned.
This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both
compressor and fan motor operation are terminated). This is a safety feature. When the water
tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifier will resume operation
automatically. NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
Factory Default Setting: Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event
of a power failure, the electronic circuit board automatically defaults to the following factory
setting:
Humidity Setting: 60%
Fan Speed: High
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, all previous settings are automatically erased/cancelled.
If your program setting was different than above (default setting) it will be necessary to
re-program your settings. When the unit is switched “off” manually (using the on/off keypad) the
unit will always default to the last program setting that was used.
WATER TANK
OPERATION
Proper installation of the water tank is crucial to maintaining reliable dehumidifier operation.
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and by means of a safety switch, controls
both the water level and operation of the dehumidification process- i.e. When the water tank is
full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the float 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.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch
system.
