SETTINGS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------POWER BUTTON When the dehumidifier is plugged into a wall socket, the dehumidifier will bleep and the display will remain blank. Press the power button to turn the dehumidifier ON or OFF. The buttons on the control panel are sensitive. Press the power button quickly and firmly. Do not hold the power button down. TIMER BUTTON The timer acts as a countdown timer.
FAN SPEED BUTTON Use the fan speed button to select either high or low fan speed. The LED indicators above the fan speed button indicate which speed has been selected (the LED light on the left is for high fan speed and the LED light on the right is for low fan speed). We recommend using high fan speed when drying laundry. The buttons on the control panel are sensitive. Press the fan speed button quickly and firmly.
HUMIDISTAT MODE (MeacoDry ABC 20L only) The humidistat mode indicator will automatically display when the dehumidifier is in humidistat mode i.e. a target humidity level has been set. The humidistat mode indicator will turn off when the dehumidifier is in laundry mode. READINGS ON THE DISPLAY When the dehumidifier is switched on, the reading on the display will show the current relative humidity level in the environment the dehumidifier is being used in.
OTHER FUNCTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- CONTINOUS (CO) MODE In order to achieve this mode, keep pressing the humidistat button (on the 10L and 12L model) or the down arrow (on the 20L model) until CO appears on the display. In CO mode the dehumidifier will not stop, it will continue to dry the environment regardless of the room relative humidity.
CONTINOUS DRAINAGE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------If you wish to drain water away continuously and not empty the water tank, a hose can be attached as per the images below. Make sure the hose runs downwards, with no kinks, bends or blockages, to allow water to run out of the unit via gravity.
As a company we understand the urgency of Climate Change and recognise how important it is to play our part in becoming more environmentally friendly. For this reason, there is not a continuous drainage hose included in our dehumidifiers to reduce the amount of plastic waste created, as most of our customers do not use them. If you would like to use the continuous drainage option on your dehumidifier, you can either purchase a hose from our website (www.meaco.
MAINTENANCE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------Always turn off the power and disconnect the main cable before performing maintenance procedures. INSPECT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM • Inspect the electrical cord for damage at regular intervals. CLEANING THE EXTERIOR • Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth.

TROUBLE SHOOTING ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------TROUBLE CAUSE SOLUTION The unit does not work The power is not connected Insert the plug into the wall outlet The unit bleeps but there is no power The power button is being held down for too long Press the power button quickly and firmly ‘LC’ has appeared on the display The dehumidifier has been put into Child Lock mode This is not a fault.
The windows were clear and now condensation has returned The outside air temperature has dropped and the windows are colder Set the unit to reach a lower target humidity level and run it 24 hours a day I cannot remove the condensation from my windows, even in CO mode The surface temperature of the windows is too low for a dehumidifier to prevent condensation.
