The MeacoDry Arete One dehumidifier uses the new R290 refrigerant gas to comply with European Environmental Directives.

When using the MeacoDry Arete One you must take into account the following: • This dehumidifier uses about 65 grams of R290 refrigerant, which is flammable. Therefore, it is part of a sealed system and must only be serviced by a trained Meaco engineer.
First Steps When you first receive your dehumidifier, it is important you follow the steps below carefully. 1. Before putting your dehumidifier into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should be studied carefully. 2. You should check your dehumidifier and its box and packaging for any transport damage. In case of damage you should inform the sender immediately. 3. Remove the dehumidifier from its box and packaging.
What can I use my dehumidifier for? Dehumidifying your whole house Your dehumidifier can be used to maintain an optimum humidity level throughout your house or flat. Moisture in the air from the entire house/flat will migrate towards the dehumidifier, reducing the humidity level. This will help reduce condensation on windows, prevent the build-up of mould and will make the space easier to heat, amongst other things.
Product Identification The MeacoDry Arete dehumidifier will come complete with an instruction manual, a H13 HEPA filter and a right-angle adaptor to enable continuous drainage. Front view Control panel Handle Air outlet Water Tank Side view Handle To lift the handle use two hands, one on the left and one on the right-hand side, then lift.
Rear view Handle Filter case and dust filter combined Cable Tidy Castors 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. In September 2019 we stopped providing hoses with our dehumidifiers to reduce the amount of plastic going to waste. To make things easier for our customers who wish to use continuous drainage, we have included an adaptor which fits a standard garden hose (ID: 12.5mm).

Water Tank The dehumidifier can be used to collect water in one of two ways: via the water tank or via continuous drainage. For general use in the home customers tend to use the water tank to collect water. For more information on how to use continuous drainage, see pages 12 and 13. When the water tank is full and requires emptying, the dehumidifier will turn off, bleep five times and the water tank full indicator will light up solid.
How often will I need to empty the water tank? Customers often ask us how often they will need to empty their dehumidifiers water tank; however, the answer is different for everyone. How much water your dehumidifier collects will depend on several factors including: the humidity level, temperature, application, dehumidifier location, number of people, amount of moisture added to the environment and so on.
Step 2: Remove the right-angle adaptor from the water tank lid and push it onto the spout. The spout is where water drips out of the dehumidifier and is located on the left-hand side. Step 1: Remove the water tank. Step 3: Attach the hose to the spout. Step 4: Insert the water tank back into the dehumidifier.
Cleaning Always turn off the power and disconnect the main cable before performing maintenance procedures. • Inspect the electrical cord for damage at regular intervals. Cleaning the exterior • Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the dehumidifier is extremely dirty, use a mild cleaning agent or a slightly damp cloth. Never spray the device with water.
Replacing the HEPA filter The dehumidifier comes with a H13 HEPA filter. This HEPA filter can be inserted into the dehumidifier to enable air purification, however this is optional - the dehumidifier can be used without the HEPA filter, this means it will dehumidify the air only and not purify it.
