Operating introduction
Power on
Plug in the appliance to the mains supply and press the POWER button, it
will start and the air outlet louver will open.
When powered on, the unit will start to dehumidify with the fan set to
high. The compressor will activate after three minutes.
If the appliance is turned off via the POWER switch and not unplugged
from the mains supply, it will start up again in the same mode.
Power off
While the appliance is operating, press the POWER button to turn it off .
Mode setting button
You can change the mode of the dehumidifi er to dry clothes or
dehumidify. To do this press the MODE button.
1. Laundry Function: When the DRY indicator is illuminated the unit
will continually dehumidify whatever the ambient humidity is. The fan
speed will be locked in the laundry function and can not be changed.
2. Dehumidify Function: When the DEHUMIDIFY indicator is
illuminated the unit will dehumidify the air. While in this mode, the fan
speed can be set and the humidity setting can be controlled.
Humidity setting
To change the humidity level, press the humidity setting button, each
time the button is pressed, the display will change as follows CO~40%~4
5%~50%~55%~60%~65%~70%~CO. After setting the humidity level, the
display will revert to the current moisture level detected by the internal
sensor.
When the machine detects that the ambient humidity is 2 % lower
than the set humidity, the machine will stop dehumidifying, the fan
will keep working in low speed. When the machine detects that the
ambient humidity is 2 % higher than the set humidity, the machine will
start dehumidifying and the fan come back to work at set speed. When
the ambient humidity is ≤30 %, the LO icon will be displayed; When the
ambient humidity is ≥80 %, the HI icon will be displayed.
CO means Continuously dehumidify whatever the ambient humidity is.
The machine default setting is CO when switch on the machine in the
beginning.
When operating in the laundry function, the machine is running in
CO status.
Timer
To start the timer function, press the TIMER button; the timer indicator
will illuminate. On each press of the TIMER button, the display will change
from 1 to 8 hours in 1 hour steps. 0H means that the timer mode is
canceled.
While in the timer mode, if the water tank is full or if it enters the auto
defrost mode, the unit will stop.
Fan Speed setting
To control the speed of the fan, press the FAN button. There are two fan
speeds which are low or high; each time the FAN button is pressed, the
speed of the fan toggles between these two speeds. Note that the fan
speed can not be set while in the laundry mode.
Swing
To make the air outlet louver open and close continually, press the SWING
button. Pressing the SWING button again disables this function.
Lock function
To prevent accidental operaiton of the unit, the keypad can be locked.
Memory function
1. If the unit is turned off via the POWER button, when turned back on
again it will resume from the function it was turned off in. Note that
if the timer was set or if the unit was in the lock mode, these settings
are not stored.
2. If the mains power is disconnected while the unit is operating, it
will not start automatically when the mains is reconnected. When
the mains power is applied again, you will need to press the POWER
button to restart operation. The unit will start up in the initial mode.
Water tank full auto-stop function
When the water tank is full, the unit will stop operation, the air outlet
louver will close and a buzzer will sound. To reset, remove the water
tank, empty and replace. When the empty water tank is put back into the
unit, it will restart. Note that the compressor will take about 3 minutes
to operate.
Auto defrost
If the unit is used in a low temperature environment, the internal
evaporator may be covered by frost. In order to make sure the machine
operates normally, the machine has auto-defrost function. Should
the internal sensor detect a temperature of ≤-1 °C the machine will
enter auto-defrost function. That means it will run continuously in the
dehumidifi cation mode for 30 minutes, then the machine will start the
defrost cycle, the DEFROST light will illuminate, the compressor will stop
and that fan will operate at high speed.
When temperature of evaporator is ≥2 °C and the unit has been in the
defrost mode for 10 minutes, the auto-defrost mode will turn off and the
compressor turns on. At this point the unit will start to dehumidify and
the DEFROST light will turn off .
While in the defrost mode and the temperature of the evaporator is ≥0 °C
for two minutes, the defrost function is cancelled.
Compressor protection function
Should there be a problem with the unit causing the compressor to stop,
the compressor will turn off for 5 minutes. Normally the compressor will
restart after 5 minutes, if it does not unplug the unit for an hour and try
again. If it still does not start, call for service.
High/Low temperature protection
function
If the unit detects that the ambient temperature is outside of the normal
operating range of 1°C to 39°C, it will shut down and the error code C2
will fl ash in the display. When the normal operating range is reached,
unplug the appliance from the mains supply for 30 seconds, reconnect
the supply and turn the unit on.
Low humidity protection function
If the unit detects low humidity of <30 % the display will indicate LO
and it will stop any dehumidifying action and the fan will operate a the
lowest speed.
If the humidity is over 80 %, the display will indicate HI and keep
dehumidifying.
