Operating Your Dehumidifier Always choose a safe location for the dehumidifier, keeping in mind the safety precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before use. Please follow the below instructions. WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the dehumidifier. WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front and rear and 200mm from the sides of the appliance.

The water full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water level correctly without the float and water may leak from the water tank. Operating Your Dehumidifier PERMANENT WATER DRAINAGE It is possible to connect a drainage tube with an inner diameter of 10mm (not supplied) to the appliance for permanent water drainage. If this option is desired, you will need to purchase a suitable PVC tube from your local hardware retailer (Goldair does not hold tubes as spare parts). 1. Connect the drainage hose to the drain spout. 2. Place the end of the drainage hose in a drainage outlet. Ensure that the end of the hose is lower than the drain opening, otherwise the water will not drain and flooding may occur. 3. Also ensure the water tank is positioned in the unit otherwise the continuous drainage will not operate. It will also catch any overflow. NOTE: When you no longer wish to use the permanent water drainage, disconnect the drainage tube from the device and water will be collected in tank again. CLEANING THE AIR FILTER Open the inlet grill and remove the air filter. Run a vacuum cleaner lightly over the surface of the air filter to remove dirt. If the air filter is exceptionally dirty, wash it with warm water and a mild cleanser and dry thoroughly. Once completely dry, insert the filter back into the inlet grill and place the inlet grill into the back of the appliance.
