Cleaning And Maintenance; Storage Instructions - Bionaire BD20 Notice D'utilisation

Automatic Defrosting
If the room temperature drops down to 16° C or
lower, the unit's temperature sensor will set the
compressor to dehumidify for 25 minutes and then
shut off automatically. The fan will keep running for 7
minutes to defrost in a cycle.
NOTE: When the defrost icon is shown on the LCD
display, the compressor will shut off and the fan will
run at high speed.
Water Full Protection and 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 icon will be displayed on the
screen 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 tank is removed for emptying, this device
will keep the condensed water that continues to
drip. Once the tank is placed back in the unit, it will
release this water into the tank.
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. 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 tank.
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 tank. If this
happens you must empty the tank.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Turn the unit off and unplug it from the electrical
outlet.
2. Carefully remove tank to empty it. Rinse the tank

into unit.
