Filter Maintenance
The B33DHW comes with a washable filter. Check filter every two months. Clean or replace the filter as necessary.
Removing the Filter: Remove the screws on the front cover and then push the front cover up gently to free the cover hooks from the chassis. Filter is located on the back side of the front cover. Gently remove the filter by lifting the bottom side corners first to prevent bending it. Filter Cleaning: The filter can be vacuumed with a wet / dry vac or washed with warm water. Reinstalling the Filter: Insert the filter into the tabs on top of mount and flex the filter to insert it into the bottom tabs. Reinstall the cover by lining up the tabs, sliding down into place, and secure with included tamper resistant or phillips screws.
Diffuser Maintenance
It is recommended to use a mild detergent to clean the surface of the diffuser, especially around the edges where the return air is flowing into the unit (see illustration below). This is where air is being drawn into the filter and may collect dust. Do not use harsh solvents on the diffuser. The diffuser can be painted to blend in with interior aesthetics. Use only paint that is recommended for polycarbonate surfaces and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for surface prep and application.
AIR FLOW
The B33DHW functions by drawing moist
air in through the bottom portion of the
diffuser and returning dried air to the space out the top portion of the diffuser.
Supply Air
Note: Avoid blocking the return and supply air flow to maximize unit performance and prevent heat build up. Furniture must be at least 6" away from the diffuser.

CONTROLS
The B33DHW has an illuminated display, user selectable setpoint, and a power ON / OFF button located behind the diffuser. The diffuser is fastened with tamper resistant screws to limit access to the control. The diffuser can also be fastened with the included phillips screws if limiting access to the control is not needed. When turning power on for the first time, the set point will be at the factory setting of 55% RH. In the event of a power outage, the dehumidifier restarts at the previous set point when power is restored. Pressing the middle button (the power button), the control will toggle the B33DHW to turn ON or OFF. If the unit is on and power button is pressed, control will turn compressor and fan off. As a result, both DISPLAY and LED will go off. If the unit is off and power button is pressed, control will turn fan on. As a result, both DISPLAY and LED will go on. If there is an error, the unit will shut down and indicator LED will turn to red and display will show an error code (see page 13 for error codes).
Sequence of Operation
1. Press the ON / OFF button to turn the dehumidifier control on. The display will show "00" for a couple of seconds and then it will display the RH level of the room and the dehumidifier blower will turn on to start sampling the air for one minute. Indicator LED, located above display, will be green, showing the unit is operating normally.
2. Pressing either of the arrow keys will cause the DISPLAY to flash and indicate the current set point. The RH set point can be adjusted from a minimum of 35% to a maximum of 99% in 1% increments. Adjust the humidity set point as desired. The recommended initial setting is 55%. Pressing the DOWN arrow key below the 35% set point on the control will cause the display to read "00" and the B33DHW will run continuously. After 10 seconds, it will go back to display room RH level. Ten seconds after making an adjustment, from either UP or DOWN arrow keys, the display will go back to show the room RH level.
3. If the sensor detects a reading above the set point, it will run the fan to sample the return air for a period of one minute. The sampled humidity of the return air will be compared to the RH setting. If the humidity is above the setting, the dehumidifier compressor turns on. The compressor remains on until the measured humidity falls 3% below the RH setting. If the sampled humidity is below the setting, the compressor and blower turn off and the display returns to showing the RH setting. The dehumidifier will sample again every 15 minutes.
