Product Overview
Familiarize yourself with the components of your Berdsen BR-68W Mini Dehumidifier.
Figure 1: Front view of the Berdsen BR-68W Mini Dehumidifier. The control panel is visible at the top, featuring an ON/OFF switch and indicator lights for power and full water tank. The transparent water tank is located at the bottom.
Figure 2: Side view of the dehumidifier, illustrating the water tank partially slid out from its housing for removal or emptying.
Figure 3: The power adapter, which connects the dehumidifier to an electrical outlet.
Figure 4: A diagram explaining Peltier technology. Moist air passes over a cold surface (KALT), causing water to condense into the water tank (WASSERTANK). The now dry air (TROCKENE LUFT) is then expelled. The Peltier module has a warm (WARM) and cold side.
Setup
- Unpack the Dehumidifier: Carefully remove the dehumidifier and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
- Choose a Location: Place the dehumidifier on a firm, level surface in the desired room. Ensure there is at least 10 cm (4 inches) of clear space around the air inlet and outlet to allow for proper airflow. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
- Connect Power: Insert the small end of the power adapter into the DC input port on the back of the dehumidifier. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Initial Check: Ensure the water tank is correctly seated in the unit.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: Press the ON/OFF switch located on the control panel. The "ON" indicator light will illuminate, indicating the dehumidifier is operating.
- Dehumidification Process: The unit will begin to draw in moist air, condense the water vapor using Peltier technology, and collect the water in the transparent tank. Dry air will be expelled from the top vent.
- Water Tank Full: When the water tank is full, the "FULL" indicator light will illuminate, and the dehumidifier will automatically shut off to prevent overflow.
- Emptying the Water Tank:
- Turn off the dehumidifier by pressing the ON/OFF switch and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Carefully slide out the water tank from the front of the unit.
- Empty the collected water into a sink or drain.
- Rinse the water tank with clean water if necessary. Do not use harsh detergents.
- Slide the empty water tank back into the dehumidifier until it clicks securely into place.
- Resume Operation: Once the water tank is emptied and reinserted, you can restart the dehumidifier by pressing the ON/OFF switch again.
- Power Off: To turn off the dehumidifier, press the ON/OFF switch. The "ON" indicator light will turn off. Unplug the unit if it will not be used for an extended period.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your dehumidifier.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cleaning the Water Tank: Empty and rinse the water tank regularly (as described in "Operating Instructions"). If mold or mildew appears, clean the tank with a mild detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly.
- Air Inlet/Outlet: Periodically check the air inlet and outlet for dust or obstructions. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to gently remove any debris. Do not insert objects into the vents.
- Storage: If storing the dehumidifier for an extended period, ensure the water tank is empty and clean. Unplug the unit and store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original packaging.
