Electrical Connections

Before plugging in, check that:

• The outlet and power supply match the working voltage on the rating plate.
• The power outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
• The power outlet matches the plug; if not, have it replaced by a qualified electrician.
• The outlet is properly grounded.

Installation

Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified. Ensure at least 2 ft (61 cm) clearance at the front to avoid blocking the air outlet. For efficient ventilation, leave about 2-4 in (5-10 cm) at the back.

Condensate Drainage Options:

A) Draining into the Tank

Condensate drains directly into the easily removable tank (see Fig. 1). When full, remove and empty into a sink, then replace properly. Note: The tank must be positioned correctly for the unit to function. An intermittent beep indicates the tank is not properly positioned.

B) Continuous External Draining

For long periods of operation or when regular tank emptying is not possible, continuous draining is recommended.

Fig. 2 Diagram Description: Illustrates removing the drain cap (1) by turning counterclockwise and removing the rubber stopper (2) from the spout.

Fig. 3 Diagram Description: Shows inserting the drain cap (1) into the condensate drain hose (8) and screwing it into the spout.

Fig. 5 Diagram Description: Illustrates the correct positioning of the drain hose, ensuring it is not higher than the spout and has no kinks.

C) Continuous Draining Using the Pump (Pump Models Only)

The built-in pump system allows water removal up to 13 ft (4m) in height. To drain directly to a drain, connect the condensation discharge tube (9) to the connection pipe on the lower front part of the unit (after removing the PUMP stopper). Select the dehumidifying function and press the PUMP button.

Note: If the discharge hose is missing and the pump is ON, the PUMP symbol will blink. To resolve: check hose position, disconnect and reconnect the plug.

Control Panel

Diagram Description: The control panel features a display, ON/STAND-BY button, Room temperature/°F/°C button, Fan speed button, Humidity increase/decrease buttons (+/-), TIMER button, and PUMP button (on some models).

Description of Buttons:

1. ON/Standby Button: Powers the appliance on or puts it into standby mode.
2. Fan Button: Selects the fan speed (MIN or MAX).
3. Thermometer Button: Temporarily displays the room temperature (°F then °C). The display returns to humidity level after a few seconds.
4. Humidity Increase/Decrease Buttons: Adjust the desired humidity level in 5% increments. Also used to set the timer: 0-10 hours increase by 30 min increments; 10-24 hours increase by 1-hour increments.
5. Pump Button (on some models): Displays "PUMP" status. Blinking "PUMP" indicates the pump is not operating correctly.
6. Timer Button: Sets the appliance to switch OFF or ON after a specified number of hours. Once set, the humidity level (%RH) cannot be adjusted.

Display Meanings:

• "-- --": Indicates the appliance is in standby mode.
• Tank Warning Symbol (blinking light and alarm): The water tank is full, improperly positioned, or missing. The alarm sounds until the tank is corrected.
• Defrosting Indicator Symbol: Appears when the ambient temperature is below 59°F (15°C) and the appliance performs defrosting cycles. It remains on until defrosting is complete. It also displays if the unit is switched on immediately after being turned off. The unit requires 3 minutes before functioning again.

Cleaning the Air Filter:

A dirty filter compromises air circulation and reduces dehumidifying/purifying efficiency. Clean the filter at regular intervals, recommended weekly for constant use. Pull the filter down to remove it (see Fig. 7).

Fig. 7 Diagram Description: Shows how to pull down the air filter.

If the Appliance is Not Used for Long Periods:

• After unplugging, empty the tank.
