1. FIRST THING TO DO Before putting your dehumidifier into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should be studied carefully. After receiving the unit, you should check your dehumidifier for any transport damage. In case of damage, you should inform the sender immediately.
3. WHAT IS IN THE BOX 4. INSTALLATION AND TRANSPORTATION For installation and transportation, the following instructions must be considered: The air inlet and the air outlet must not be covered whilst the dehumidifier is in operation. Before moving the dehumidifier it must be switched off by its ON-OFF switch. The dehumidifier must be disconnected at its fused spur and excess water should be drained.
Using the enclosed drills five holes for the wall mounting bracket and secure using the expansion bolts. The wall must be true and the bracket level or water will leak from the dehumidifier. 5. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE This dehumidifier is designed to be connected to a permanent drain via a 16mm hose. Make sure that the drain connection is running downhill and does not have any kinks or blockages.

If you wish to move the drain to the other side then you can do so by removing the side covers. This should only be done by a qualified electrician and only when the unit’s power supply has been turned off and isolated. Remove the one screw as per above to access the side panels.

Connect the condensate hose (16mm diameter) and ensure that the water is flowing downhill with no kinks or blockages. You have the choice of fitting the drain on the right or left side. The hose on the right is pre-fitted, if you wish to change to left then remove the bung from the left and swap it with the hose on the right.

What happens when the machine is running? When it is dehumidifying and when it is not If the dehumidifier is dehumidifying you will see this symbol on the control panel The dehumidifier will continue to dehumidify until the relative humidity is 5%rh below the target and stays there for at least 3 minutes.
7. MAINTENANCE **Disconnect the power supply before carrying out these tasks** Cleaning the filter To ensure that your dehumidifier has a long operational life please clean the filter at least once every two weeks as a blocked filter will put pressure on the fan and cause damage to the fan motor. The filter can be removed without the need to remove the dehumidifier from the wall and without having to tilt the dehumidifier, the image below only shows the dehumidifier on its side for clarity.
Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use anything that will scratch the surface or any detergents. 8. AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING SYSTEM This dehumidifier is equipped with an automatic hot-gas defrosting system. When operating in low temperatures the surface of the evaporator will accumulate frost and this will affect the efficiency of the dehumidifier. When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrosting automatically and the defrost symbol will appear on the display.
