AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING SYSTEM
During normal dehumidifying operation, ice may form on the evaporator. This dehumidifier is
equipped with an automatic hot-gas defrosting system, if ice is detected by the temperature sensor, it
will defrost automatically according to the following principle:
• A temperature sensor measures the condition existing in the critical area of the evaporator.
• It transmits an electrical signal to the main electronic board. It has been designed to avoid
frequent defrost cycles and consequent loss of efficiency.
• The relay switches off the fan and simultaneously opens the solenoid value.
• Hot gas is guided into the evaporator until the latter is completely free of ice.
• Subsequently, the dehumidifier will operate again in its normal mode when the temperature
sensor measures +7 degrees.
• The time between defrost cycles is 20 minutes every time the unit resumes normal operation.
WATER TANK
This dehumidifier is supplied with a water tank. During normal operation the unit will collect water in the
tank, ceasing operation when the tank is full. Once the tank is full, the respective yellow LED on the
control panel will indicate the tank needs emptying. In order to empty the water tank, remove the tank
from the unit and empty the water. The collected water can be used to water non-edible house hold
plants, it cannot be consumed. There is a float in the tank which monitors the level of water collected,
it is essential the float is always inserted correctly and never removed.
CONTINOUS DRAINGE OPTION 1 (via gravity)
A hose can be fitted to the unit in order to enable continuous drainage via gravity. The hose required
needs an internal diameter of 14mm. For continuous drainage via gravity proceed as follows:
- Set the unit to Standby Mode and disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
- Remove the water tank from the unit and remove the bung located at the bottom of the water
tank.
- Fasten the continuous drainage hose adaptor (barb fitting) at the bottom of the water tank.
- Attach a 14mm diameter hose to the continuous drainage hose adaptor (barb fitting).
- Insert the water tank back into the unit, plug the unit into the mains and set the desired target
humidity level or Continuous Mode.
- The unit must be raised, and the hose must be positioned directly downhill with no kinks, bends
or blockages in order to allow water to drain downwards via gravity.
