Troubleshooting - Oster OD15 Instruction Manual

Note: when the defrost light is shown on the display, the compressor will shut off
and the fan will run at high speed.
Water full protection & auto-shutoff
when the water reservoir is full, the unit will sound an alarm beeping 10 times (for
about 5 seconds). The water reservoir full light will go on and the unit will shut off
automatically. This indicates that it is time to empty the water reservoir before using the
unit again. Once the empty water reservoir is placed back into the unit, it will take up to
3 minutes for the dehumidifier compressor to work again. This is a protection feature. If
you wish to restart the unit without waiting, unplug it from the electrical outlet and plug it
in again.
Water drip protection
When the water reservoir is removed for emptying, this device will keep the condensed
water that continues to drip. Once the water reservoir is placed back in the unit, it will
release this water into the reservoir.
Continuous drainage
For added user convenience, this dehumidifier includes a hose that can be attached to
it to operate with continuous drainage. To use it, simply remove the drain plug located in
the back of the unit and connect the pvc hose that comes with the unit. Find a suitable
location for the unit where the open end of the hose can drain the outgoing water into an
appropriate receptacle or outside of your home, far enough away from the foundation to
ensure proper drainage. The unit will now direct water from the bypass port and through
the hose, rather than into the water reservoir.
Note: please make sure to place the open end of the hose flat on the ground ensuring it
is not entangled.
Caution: the drain hose must be below the drain plug in order for the unit to drain
properly.
Note: to help prevent leakage, you should use a marker to denote the location where
the hose meets the housing on the rear of the unit. Periodically check to make sure this
indicator has not moved away from the housing to ensure that your hose will not leak.
Leakage inside the unit will fall into the water reservoir. If this happens you can empty the
water reservoir.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Malfunctioning of compressor
Should the compressor start to malfunction during the operation, it will automatically
shut off. Wait for 3 minutes and then restart the unit again. If you wish to restart the unit
without waiting for 3 minutes, unplug it from the electrical outlet and plug it again.
Protection for extremely low or high temperatures
If the unit's sensor detects the room temperature is below 0°c or above 40°c, the
dehumidifier will automatically shut off. The unit will signal with 3 long beep sounds
followed by 2 short ones. To restart the unit it will be necessary to unplug it from the
electrical outlet and plug it back in.
