OPERATION
Ensure the unit is located in accordance with previous instructions, and plug it into the mains
supply. On doing so, the system will carry out a self test and you should hear a beep, indicating
that the mains power has been detected and the unit is functioning correctly.
If the unit is to be used for air conditioning (cooling), ensure the outlet hose is connected to the
air outlet. If it is to be used for dehumidifying, ensure the outlet hose is disconnected from the air
outlet.
A. AIR-CONDITIONING (Cooling)
As air is exhausted into the outside world, it follows that the air in the room being cooled must be
replenished. It is advisable therefore, that for maximum efficiency, an air vent, from within the
building, NOT from the outside world, be provided, and all doors and windows to the outside
world be firmly closed.
Additionally, in hot weather, blinds or curtains should be drawn to prevent direct sunlight from
entering the room.
To set the unit to cooling mode, proceed as follows:
1. Once the unit is set up as previously described, and the unit plugged into the mains,
press the (ON/OFF) button and the unit will operate in its most recent setting.
2. Press the mode button until the cooling mode is selected. The compressor will start
and the compressor indicator light will illuminate.
3. Set the temperature you desire using the temperature button. Temperatures range
for cooling is from 18
o
C to 35
o
C.
4. Set your fan speed.
5. Set the sweep control, if desired.
6. Set the time you wish the unit to stop, if desired.
You may now leave the unit which will function automatically until it is either switched OFF, using
the I/O button, the timer (if set) intervenes or the water container becomes too full.
B. DEHUMIDIFYING
The dehumidifyiing process involves the removal of water from the surrounding air. This water is
collected in a receptacle which is shown in fig. 3 on page 3. The dehumidifier will only operate
when the ambient temperature is between 16
o
C and 35
o
C.
When this receptacle is full, a sensor will detect the condition and automatically stop the
compressor, and hence the dehumidifier from operating. Replacing an empty receptacle will
automatically restart the dehumidifying process. Do not be alarmed however if the process does
not begin immediately as it may take a short time for the system to reset itself.
DO NOT remove the water receptacle whilst the unit is running. ALWAYS switch OFF beforehand
and wait for 3 minutes before withdrawal.
It should be noted also, that the dehumidifier will not operate if the water receptacle is not
correctly installed in its housing - ensure it is pushed home fully.
The volume of water collected at a relative humidity of 70% is 1½ litres per hour, and as the water
receptacle can hold 3.6 litres, it follows that the receptacle must be emptied every two hours or
so, should the unit be used continuously. This of course could be an annoyance, and completely
unsatisfactory if the unit is to be left unnattended for a long period of time.
