OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd) DEFROST When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 18°C)(64.4°F), the surface of the evaporator may accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency of the machine. When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate m temperatures down to 5°C (4I°F). The time taken to defrost may vary. If the machine freezes up it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the room temperature remains below 5°C (41°F) the machine should be switched off. DEHUMIDIFYING Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifier will help to protect your home and valued possessions from damage (swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifier removes moisture from the air as the moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained, and collected inside an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned into the room environment is elevated several degrees, causing the surrounding air temperature to increase (slightly). This process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air. DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION: 1) To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button. 2) Press the humidity or buttons to select a desired RH operating value (30%-90%). FAN SPEED SELECTION: Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identified by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly above the selection made. t;i FIg. 3 Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter. This filter is located at the front of the unit (behind the air intake grill) directly above the water tank compartment. The air filter plays an important role in helping to reduce (minimi7p) dust/dirt particles from the surrounding environment. A blocked / clogged air filter reduces air intake, impacting negatively on operating C --- efficiency. To maintain maximum operating efficiency, the filter must be checked and cleaned regularly (every 2 weeks). More frequent cleaning may be required depending upon indoor air quality. IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place. AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS: 1) Pull the air filter out gently (Fig. 3). 2) Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner, or wash it with clean water and dry with a dry cloth. a 3) Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the dehumidifier.

OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
(cont'd)
DEFROST
When
the
machine
is
operated
at
low
temperatures
(less
than
18°C)(64.4°F),
the
surface
of
the
evaporator
may
accumulate
a
layer
of
frost
which
would
reduce
the
efficiency
of
the machine.
When
this
happens
the
machine
will
go
into
periodic
defrost
mode.
The
machine
will
operate
m
temperatures
down
to
5°C
(4I°F).
The
time
taken
to
defrost
may
vary.
If
the
machine
freezes
up
it
should
be
turned
off
at
the
power
supply
and
re
-started.
If
the
room
temperature
remains
below
5°C
(41°F)
the
machine
should
be
switched
off.
DEHUMIDIFYING

Essentially
a

removes
moisture
from

air
as
the

air
passes
over
a
dehumidifying
(evaporator)
coil.

The
exhausted
air
being
returned
into
the
room
environment
is
elevated
several
degrees,
causing
the
surrounding
air
temperature
to
increase
(slightly).
This
process
also
contributes
to
lowering
the
relative
humidity
of
the
surrounding
air.
DEHUMIDIFYING
MODE
SELECTION:
1)
To
turn
the
unit
on,
press
the
ON
/
OFF
button.
2)
Press
the
humidity
or
buttons
to
select
a

RH
operating
value
(30%-90%).
FAN
SPEED
SELECTION:
Select
a
fan
speed
on
the
keypad.
The
speed
you
select
is

Your
dehumidifier
features
a

of
the
unit
(behind

air
fi
lter
reduces
air
intake,
impacting

on
operating
efficiency.
To
maintain
maximum
operating
efficiency,
the
fi
lter
must
be
checked
and
cleaned
regularly
(every
2
weeks).
More
frequent
cleaning
may
be
required
depending
upon
indoor
air
quality.
IMPORTANT:
Never
