Installation
Little installation is required other than siting the dehumidifier on a firm, flat and level surface,
selecting the power supply voltage and setting the unit selector switch accordingly,
connecting to the main electric supply and choosing the method of disposing of collected
water.
Please note, that the drip tray is not removable
Please note also, that it is perfectly safe to locate
this model in an area with standing water, provided
the water is less that 2" deep.
The voltage selector switch - shown in the illustration
opposite, is accessed by removing the bottom rear
panel (5 screws) at the rear of the dehumidifier. It is
factory set to select 230V.
This equipment is designed to work in temperatures
between 5ºC & 35ºC, Never operate in temperatures
below 5ºC or above 35ºC. If the temperature in the
room rises above 35ºC, switch the unit OFF. Failure
to switch OFF could cause the compressor to
overheat, resulting in premature failure.
If used in temperatures below 5ºC, the coil may frost up and no water will be produced until
the defrost cycle commences.
NOTE: if using an extension lead, ensure it is correctly rated for the inductive load, fully
unwound and never run through water or over sharp edges.
Operation
Never attempt to use the dehumidifier for anything other than it's intended purpose.
The DMD66 is fitted with an electronic hour run counter which is not resettable. Before
switching the dehumidifier ON, take a note of the hours run counter to assist with monitoring
the amount of time the unit is run.
After moving the dehumidifier into the location to be used, allow the unit to stand for 15
minutes before switching it on.
Ensure all doors and windows are closed and the area sealed where possible, this aids in
speeding up the dehumidification/drying process.
Plug the unit into the power supply and switch the supply ON.
Switch the unit ON by depressing the ON/OFF switch marked I/O, I= ON, O=OFF. The ON/
OFF switch is located next to the hour counter.
The dehumidifier is now running, allow a minimum of 10mins for it to begin dehumidifying/
drying.
The water collected can be drained automatically using the hose connected to the drip
tray drain. Ensure the hose is kept below the level of the drain, otherwise flooding of the unit
will occur.
Drain condensate into a suitable container ( builders bucket or similar). It is important to keep
an eye on the water level in the bucket and empty regularly to prevent it from overflowing.
