DRY (Dehumidifier) Operating Instructions
NOTE: During dehumidifier mode, the
exhaust hoses do not have to be vented
outdoors but should remain attached to the
unit. The external water tank must be
installed during dehumidifier mode.
1) Press the I/O (on/off) key pad to switch on
the unit.
2) Press the MODE key until the DRY
O
symbol
(Dehumidifying) appears in the display window.
Each depression of the MODE key will advance
to a different mode setting (Auto-Cool-Dry-Fan).
3) Press the appropriate
L V
(TEMP I TIMER
ADJ) key to select a (relative humidity) operating
setting between 35%
90% RH (adjustable in
increments of 5%)
For continuous (non-stop) dehumidifier operation
press the
L V
(TEMP I TIMER ADJ) key pad until
the symbol
"- -
"appears in the display window.
NOTE: The compressor will not cycle off during
"continuous" mode.
The set relative humidity level will flash in the display
window for approximately 5 seconds then
automatically revert back to display actual room
ambient relative humidity conditions. NOTE: The set
operating RH level must be programmed within the 5
second (flashing) condition. To view the "set" relative
humidity program any time, press either of the
TEMP/TIMER ADJ buttons.
NOTE: There is no fan speed adjustment during
dehumidifying mode. (the fan speed is factory
set for "low")
The blue (RUN) indicator light illuminates indicating
dehumidifying mode is operational (there may be a
slight delay of 10-30 seconds before the cycle
begins, this is normal).
IMPORTANT: The relative humidity setting selected
should always be set a few degrees lower than the
room ambient relative humidity conditions, to ensure
normal dehumidifying operation. NOTE: it is not
recommended to operate your Dehumidifier,
below temperatures of 15.5°C (60°F), this could
result in icing-up conditions of the evaporator coils,
and minimize efficiency.
4) During 'Dry' mode when the external tank is full,
the unit will alarm (beep) for 20 seconds and
the water full red indicator light will illuminate
and the water full icon in the control panel will
begin to flash continuously. At this time
dehumidification will stop immediately. However,
the fan motor will continue to operate (this is
normal). Carefully remove the water tank from
the cabinet, dispose of the water. Replace the
water tank back to it's original position and the
Dehumidifying process will automatically resume.
It may take 3-5 minutes for the compressor to re
start. This is normal.
5) This unit also has provisions for a continuous
"drain" option (for basement applications having
a floor drain). The required drain hose is
included with this unit. Drain Hose
Specifications: Standard garden hose.
For continuous direct drain operation. Remove
(unscrew) the drain cap at the back of the cabinet
located directly above the external tank. Attach
suitable length (of drain hose) to the direct drain
fitting.
(do not over tighten) Position the open end
of the drain hose as close as possible to the floor
drain. Check the hose connection for leaks.
NOTE: Direct drain operation is intended for
floor drain applications only. Direct drain
operation should not be used in stem pipe
andlor sink applications.
