FAN SPEED: Controls the fan operation, as
follows:
High: For faster moisture removal
Low: For slower moisture removal
Auto Fan Speed (Electronic Models):
Automatically sets the fan speed based on
the relative humidity of the room. Low speed
is used when the relative humidity is within
5% of the Desired Humidity setting. High
speed is used when the relative humidity
reaches or exceeds 5% of the Desired
Humidity setting.
DRYNESS CONTROL: Controls the amount
of moisture in the room. Set the control to the
normal setting to maintain average humidity
conditions. Adjust the control to a higher or
lower setting for more or less drying.
When the dehumidifier is first installed, the
customer may wish to set the Dryness Control
to the DRYER setting to remove extra moisture
from furnishings, as well as the room air.
When the humidistat senses the desired hu
-
midity level has been reached, the control
cycles off the compressor and fan motor. On
electronic control models, 30 minutes after the
unit cycles off at the desired relative humidity,
the compressor and fan will be cycled back
on. If the relative humidity has not increased,
the unit will only run for 3 minutes. There is a
3 minute minimum “on” or “off” time used to
protect the compressor that requires at least
3 minutes of run time or off time before the
compressor stops or restarts.
The reason for the compressor to be turned on
30 minutes after it cycles off is that when the
unit cycles off, heat from the condenser and fan
motor rises up toward the control. This higher
temperature lowers the relative humidity around
the humidistat and the unit will not run even if
the relative humidity in the room is rising. This
assures the room relative humidity is properly
monitored. The unit will not cycle off and on
when set to continuous run.
ADJUST/EMPTY BUCKET LIGHT: When
this light is “ON,” it indicates that the unit is
not running (see “Setting The Controls, Types
1, 2, or 3 on Pages 2-4 and 2-5). Look for the
following conditions:
The bucket is full: Empty the bucket
and replace it in the dehumidifier.
The bucket is not correctly installed
in the unit: Remove and replace the
bucket in the unit so that it fits all the
way in. Make sure the light is off, or the
dehumidifier will not run.
