Instruction Manual

1. GENERAL ADVICE
Before putting your dehumidifier into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should be studied carefully.
After receiving the unit, you should check your dehumidifier for any transport damage. In case of damage, you should inform
the sender immediately.
Keep the packaging for the dehumidifier in a safe place in order to be able to despatch the dehumidifier safely if it requires a
service. In order to save space, you can simply cut through the adhesive tape using a knife and fold up the cardboard box.
Please keep all packaging away from children and recycle the packaging if you do decide to dispose of it.
2. DEHUMIDIFIER PRINCIPLES
There are four types of dehumidifier sold to the domestic market in Europe - compressor, desiccant (this dehumidifier), peltier
and silica gel.
A desiccant based dehumidifier draws the air in from the room over a filter and passes it over a rotating wheel that is full of a
material called Zeolite which absorbs the excess water out of the air. The wheel is now saturated and needs to be
regenerated. A heater in the lower half of the dehumidifier and a second fan work together to regenerate the desiccant by
pulling the damp air out of the wheel through a combination of the air flow and the heat. The desiccant is now ready to dry
the air again and the warm, wet air from the wheel goes into the plastic condenser tubes and is cooled by the air coming in
from the room which allows the moisture to condensate and the water drips into the internal tank. The heat used during the
drying process is mixed with the dry air to ensure that the air that comes out of the dehumidifier is not just drier but 10-12°C
warmer than the air that came in.
3. INSTALLATION AND INITIAL USE
• Place the dehumidifier in an upright position on a stable, flat surface.
• Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away from a wall or furniture.
• Please keep clothes at a safe distance of 30cm away from the air inlet or
outlet to prevent water from dripping into the unit.
• Ensure the tank is correctly fitted, if the tank is full or is not in place, the
“Empty Tank” light comes on, an alarm will sound and the dehumidifier will
turn off.
• To turn the dehumidifier on press the Enter button for two seconds, you will
hear a beep.
• To turn the dehumidifier off press the Enter button for two seconds, the
machine will turn off.
Where to position the dehumidifier
• For best results position the dehumidifier somewhere central like a landing or a hallway. As long as the internal doors are
open the moisture will migrate naturally towards the dehumidifier to be processed.
• To dry washing it is best to put the dehumidifier into a small room. Close the door and windows and use the dehumidifier
in “Laundry” mode. Hang the clothes so that they are not touching each other and so that air can circulate between the
clothes. Ensure that water does not drip onto the dehumidifier.
Smell coming from the dehumidifier
When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might notice a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This
is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material mixing with chemicals within your home and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is
faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odours from the air from items like
cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture. These chemicals mix together within the desiccant
and then when the desiccant is heated the new smell is discharged into the room. This smell has been described as being
like a burning smell or a sour smell. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of a fault. You can clear it by running the
dehumidifier in a separate space like a garage or if it is dry – outside.
