DRY
(Dehumidifier)
Operating Instructions
NOTE:
During
dehumidifier
mode, the
exhaust hoses
do
not have to be
vented
outdoors but
should remain
attached
to the
unit. The
external water
tank must
be
installed
during
dehumidifier
mode.
1) Press
the
I/O
(on/off) key
pad to
switch
on
the
unit.
2) Press the MODE
key until
the DRY
O
symbol
(Dehumidifying)
appears
in the display window.
Each depression
of the MODE key will
advance
to a different
mode
setting (Auto-Cool-Dry-Fan).
3) Press the
appropriate
L
V
(TEMP
I
TIMER
ADJ)
key
to select
a (relative humidity)
operating
setting between
35% 90% RH (adjustable
in
increments of
5%)
For continuous
(non-stop)
dehumidifier
operation
press
the
L
V
(TEMP
I
TIMER
ADJ) key pad
until
the symbol
“-
-
“appears in the
display
window.
NOTE:
The
compressor
will
not cycle off during
“continuous”
mode.
The set relative
humidity
level will flash
in the display
window
for approximately
5
seconds
then
automatically
revert
back
to
display
actual
room
ambient
relative
humidity
conditions. NOTE:
The
set
operating RH
level
must be programmed
within
the
5
second (flashing)
condition.
To view
the “set”
relative
humidity program
any
time, press either
of the
TEMP/TIMER
ADJ
buttons.
NOTE:
There is no
fan
speed adjustment
during
dehumidifying
mode.
(the fan speed is
factory
set
for “low”)
The
blue
(RUN)
indicator
light illuminates
indicating
dehumidifying
mode
is operational (there
may be
a
slight
delay
of 10-30
seconds before
the
cycle
begins, this
is
normal).
IMPORTANT:
The relative
humidity
setting
selected
should always
be set
a few degrees lower
than the
room
ambient
relative humidity conditions,
to
ensure
normal
dehumidifying
operation. NOTE:
it is not
recommended
to
operate
your Dehumidifier,
below temperatures
of 15.5°C
(60°F), this could
result
in icing-up
conditions of
the
evaporator
coils,
and minimize
efficiency.
4) During ‘Dry’
mode when the
external tank is full,
the unit
will
alarm
(beep)
for
20 seconds and
the water
full red indicator
light will illuminate
and the water
full
icon in the
control
panel
will
begin
to flash
continuously. At
this time
dehumidification
will stop immediately.
However,
the
fan motor
will continue to
operate
(this is
normal).
Carefully
remove
the
water tank from
the
cabinet, dispose of
the water. Replace the
water tank
back
to
it’s original
position
and
the
Dehumidifying
process
will automatically
resume.
It may take
3-5 minutes
for the compressor
to re
start. This is
normal.
5) This
unit
also
has provisions for a continuous
“drain”
option
(for basement applications
having
a
floor
drain).
The required drain hose
is
included
with
this unit. Drain Hose
Specifications:
Standard
garden hose.
For
continuous direct drain
operation. Remove
(unscrew)
the
drain
cap
at the
back
of the cabinet
located
directly
above the external
tank. Attach
suitable
length
(of
drain hose)
to the direct
drain
fitting.
(do
not over
tighten)
Position
the
open end
of the drain
hose as
close as possible
to
the floor
drain. Check
the
hose
connection for
leaks.
NOTE:
Direct
drain operation
is intended for
floor drain
applications only.
Direct drain
operation
should not
be used
in
stem
pipe
andlor sink
applications.
