Internal Safety Feature
This unit is equipped with a fail-safe switch
mechanism that prevents the unit from condensing
water in the event the internal reservoir becomes full.
If this situation occurs, the unit will signal (BEEP) for
20 seconds, and the (RED) WATER FULL indicator
light will flash.
NOTE:
During high humidity conditions, if the rate of water
being condensed exceeds the rate of water being
evaporated, the water level inside the internal
reservoir will activate a float switch mechanism
(safety shut-off), causing the unit to stop/cease
operation automatically. In this event,
• the red “water full” indicator light on the control
panel will begin to flash
• and a warning beep will sound.
To return to normal operation:
1. Switch the unit off;
2. Place a pan with a 1.9L (4 pts) capacity
beneath the lowest drain ports located on the
bottom rear of the unit (see Fig. D1).;
3. Open the drains by unscrewing their drain caps;
4. Wait until all the water inside the internal reservoir
is emptied, then reattach the drain caps;
5. Properly dispose of the water in the pan;
6. Switch the unit on.
It may take 3-5 minutes for the compressor to
re-start. This is normal.
Direct Drain Instructions
Direct drain operation is intended for floor drain
application only. Direct drain cannot be used in stem
pipe and / or sink applications:
While the unit is off:
1. Locate the unit as close as you can to the floor
drain you will be using for water drainage;
2. Remove the drain cap located in the middle
(approximately) of the back of the unit (see Fig.
D2);
3. Attach the hose’s coupler directly onto the direct
drain’s thread and hand-tighten to seal the
connection;
4. Place the open end of the drain hose directly over
the floor drain.
You may now start the unit and begin dehumidifying.
NOTE: Remember to remove the hose and re-install
the drain cap when the direct drain feature is not in
use.
