DEHUMIDIFYING
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifi er will help to protect your home and valued
possessions from damage due to swelling caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifi er removes moisture from
air as moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained, and
collected inside an internal (removable) 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 the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
Note: For optimal performance, ensure that the unit is set at least 10% lower than the relative humidity level. It is normal
for the humidity to vary by 5% above or below the set humidity. It is recommended that in normal conditions, the humidity
be set at 40-45%.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE INSTRUCTIONS
When the unit is fi rst connected to the electrical outlet, the (green) power light will not light up until the "on/off" button is
pressed. When the "on/off" button is pressed, the power light turns on and the dehumidifi er automatically defaults to:
Display: Current ambient room humidity (RH%)
Humidity Setting: 40% RH
Fan Speed: High.
Note: Depending on humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifi er may not start automatically
under the default setting (this is an indication that the humidity level of the surrounding environment is lower than the
"default" setting of 40% RH). Therefore, it may be necessary to scroll through each of the different dehumidifi er settings
35%-55% until the "humidistat" (sensor) recognizes conditions that will allow the unit to operate.
Dehumidifying Mode Selection:
1. The unit enters dehumidify mode when the ON/OFF button is pressed.
2a. Press the + / - buttons to select a desired RH operating value (35%-85%).
2b. Press the continuous button. When continuous mode is selected, the humidistat (sensor) will be by-passed and the
compressor will operate non-stop regardless of humidity conditions.
Fan Speed Selection:
3. You can choose a fan speed (normal/turbo) using the keypad. The speed you select is identifi ed by the (illuminated)
indicator light located directly above the selection made.
