DEHUMIDIFYING OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before Starting This Unit
Select a suitable location, making sure you have
easy access to an electrical outlet,
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the
air. A dehumidifier will help to protect your home and
vetued possessions from damage caused by moisture
(swelting) during high humidity conditions. Essentially a
dehumidifier removes moisture from the air, as moist air
passes over a dehumidi_ing coit (evaporator).
Moisture is condensed onto the evaporator, drained and
collected inside an infernal water tank. 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 surrounding air.
Loostion:
To obtain maximum operating efficiency from your
dehumidifier, the recommended (room ambient) operating
temperature should be between 15.5°C/60"F - 32'C/90"F.
it is important to remember the efficiency of a dehumidifier
will be affectedlinfluenced by the rate at which new
moisture is allowed to infiltrate the same space/area. To
maintain efficiency, the dehumidifier must be operated in
an enclosed area. Keep all doors and windows closed. '
Select a suitable location making sure there are no
obstructions restricting aiHIow st the front and back of the
unit•
Installation:
1, Connect the power cord into a propedy grounded
polarized 110/115 volt NC receptacle. (For your
safety, please refer to grounding instrustions page 3):
2. Make sure the water tank is properly installed inside
the cabinet, lithe (red) "water full" light starts
flashing when the Unit is plugged in, the water tank is
not properly installed.
3. When the unit is fir_ connected to a power supply, the
(green) pilot light located directly above the "On/Of_
keypad will flash continuously (this is normal). The
flashing light indicates the circuit board encountered a
power failure/interruption (from being unplugged). The
flashing light condition will cease immediately when
the unit is switched on using the On/Off key pad and
the unit will automatically default to the factory seffing
previously described. The default setting cannot be re-
programmed.
Dehumidifying:
The dehumidifier mode provides a feature thai will allow
you the option of reading current room ambient
temperatures in "Celsius" or "Faranheight"_
Follow these steps:
Oepress the MODE keypad. Each depression of
the key pad will alternate through each of the
optional modes. (DRY, HEAT, FAN). When the
window adjacent to the "DRY" mode illuminates,
the selection is complete.
3.
Depress the _> keypad, allowing you to alternate
between the *C/F RH settings adjacent to the LED
display.
When the window adjacent to the "C illuminates,
the LED will display the existing ambient room
temperatures in "Celsius".
4. When the window adjacent to the "F iltuminates,
the LED will display the existing ambient room
temperatures in "Ferenheight".
5. When the window &djacsnt to the RH illuminates,
the LED will display existing room humidity
conditions as a "percentage" (%) value.
