DEFROST
When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than l8°C) (64.4°F), the surface of the evaporator may
accwnulate a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency of the machine. When this hap ens the machine
will go into penodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to
to deirost may vary. If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the
room temperature remains below 5°C(410f) the machine should be switched off.
DEHUMIDIFYING
Dehumidifyjng is a means of removing moisture from
the air. A dehumidifier will help to protect your home
and valued possessions from damage (swelling)
caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a
dehumidifier removes moisture from the air as the
moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator)
coil. Moisture is condensed on the eva orator coill
drained, and collected inside an internal (removab e)
water tank located at the front of the unit. The
exhausted air being returned into the room
environment is elevated several degrees, causing the
surrounding air temperature to increase (slightly).
This process also contributes to lowering ilie
AIR FILTER
Your dehumidifier features a removable Air Filter. This filter is located at the
front of the unit (behind the air intake grill) directly above the water tank
compartment. The air filter plays an important role in helping to reduce
(mirumize) dust/dirt particles :fiom the surrounding environment. A blocked I
cl ed arr filter reduces air intake, impacting!legatively on operating
efficiency. To maintain maximwn operating efficiency, the filter must be checked
and cleaned reguJ.arly (every 2 wee:Ks). More frequent cleaning may be required
depending upon indoor air quality.
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit without the air filter in place.
AIR FILTER CLEANING STEPS:
1) Pull the air filter out gently (Fig. 3).
2) Clean the filter with a vacuwn cleaner, or wash it with clean water and
diy with a dry cloth.
3) Put the clean air filter back in place and continue to operate the
dehumidifier.
