Care and Maintenance
Always shut off the unit and unplug from the mains before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. When it is not in use for long periods it is
advisable to remove the plug from the power socket. Do not use chemical
solvents (such as benzene, alcohol or gasoline) as they may cause irreversible
damage to the unit.
1. Clean the Grille and Case
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or
abrasives. Do not splash water directly onto the main unit.
Doing so may cause an electrical shock and can lead to the
insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust. The air
intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum
attachment or soft brush to clean. If the mesh filter is dirty
hoover it, if it is heavily soiled wash it with warm soapy water
and dry thoroughly before reinserting it in the unit.
2. Clean the water tank
Every few weeks, clean the tank to prevent growth of mould, mildew and bacteria.
Partially fill the tank with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in
than empty the tank and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the tank. After cleaning and drying the tank
must be reinserted securely into dehumidifier in order to restart operation
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn’t the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is low?
This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 15⁰C. If the
temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat the unit will
not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated
properties, boats or garages please check our desiccant range.
Why doesn’t the unit work /or stops suddenly?
The water tank may be full or displaced. To rectify: empty the tank and carefully place
the tank back in the unit.
Also the unit may be running in dehumidifying mode with a low room temperature.
Please check if the room temperature is lower than 5⁰C. If so, the unit will stop working
while in dehumidifying mode. (unit may be defrosting).
The ambient operating range is between 5⁰C and 35⁰C with a relative humidity ranging
from 30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between 15⁰C and 32⁰C.
