OPERATION
The following procedures should be followed to test the Kompact for correct
operation:

free shipment. Report all defects and damage at once. Connect the
power cable to a grounded 15 Amp electrical outlet.
2. Check dehumidification process as follows:
A. Place unit on a level surface.
B. Start up unit by switching to “ON”.
C. Check that the compressor is running.
D. Leave the machine running for 15 minutes.
E. Observe the evaporator coils through the rear upper grille, to
confirm frost formation.
i. If the air temperature is below 78°F, an even coating of frost
should cover the entire evaporator coil.
ii. If the air temperature is above 78°F, frost and/or droplets of
condensed water should cover the entire evaporator coil.
F. After continuous running time of approximately 55 minutes,
unit will enter “Hot Gas” defrost mode for several minutes and
then automatically return to normal operation.
If, after carrying out the above procedures, the unit does not appear to
function properly, refer to the Trouble Shooting section, which follows,
or contact the Factory Service Center.
After using the Kompact, turn it off for five minutes to allow the condensate on
the coils to drain into the pump reservoir, then press the momentary pump
purge switch for twenty to thirty seconds to evacuate the water from the pump
reservoir.
