When to use your dehumidifier

This dehumidifier is designed to bring humidity level

within a comfort zone (from 45% to 65% relative

humidity. This is the mid range of the humidistat

setting).

The chart (shaded area) indicates when a dehumidifier

should not be used since the humidity level is low

enough.

Operating a dehumidifier under the conditions shown

in the shaded area may cause frosting or icing-up of

the coils which will prevent the collection of any

moisture.

Experts have established that optimal atmospheric

conditions, both for physical health and the

preservation of furniture and other items, vary between

45% and 60% relative humidity. It is therefore

advisable to keep rooms within these values.

Caution

Before operating unit check that float is

suspended freely inside the bucket.

B) Continuous drainage

The condensation can be continually drained out of the tank by fitting a hose (5/8' inch Ø) directly to the pipe

of the tank. (Fig.2). It is very easy to drill a hole in the tank: remove the rubber cap, go through the pipe and drill

the tank (Fig.3). Fix the rubber hose to the pipe.

Remember to save the rubber cap: it can be used to close the tube or the pipe when discharging into the tanK.

N.B. If you want to go back collecting the condensation in the tank, remove the hose and insert the

rubber cap into the pipe (Fig. 4).

Installation

Place the appliance in the room that you wish to dehumidify.

It is essential to leave a space of at least 20 inches around the appliance in order to ensure adequate

ventilation.

The condensation can be discharged in two ways:

A) Discharge into the tank

The condensation generated by the dehumidifier can be discharged directly into the tank which is located

in the back side of the appliance (fig. 1).

The tank which has an ergonomical handle, is very easy to carry and to empty without spilling.

Tank control system/Tank Full

The Dè Longhi dehumidifers are equipped with a special device which controls the tank.

A warning lamp, on the control panel, lights to advice the user if:

1. the tank is full ➛ empty the tank

2. the tank is missing ➛ replace the tank

3. the tank is not positioned properly ➛ reposition it correctly

4. you are using continuous drainage and there is an obstruction in the hose ➛ remove the obstruction and

empty the tank.

Once the situation is remedied, the warning light will switch off and the unit will restart automatically.

Description of the controls

Using the dehumidifier

1) Plug the appliance into the electrical outlet. The pilot lamp lights to show that the appliance is switched

on.

2) Check that the tank control lamp is off.

3) Turn the humidity control to MIN (

●●), MED (●●●), MAX (●●●●) or CONTINUOUS settings as desired.

4) To switch off the appliance, turn the humidity control anti-clockwise to the "OFF" position.

Where to use the dehumidifiers

The dehumidifier is an extremely useful instrument for a number of situations in the house such as:

LAUNDRY, preventing the formation of unpleasant odors. (MAX level; ●●●●)

BEDROOMS, LIVINGROOMS and other areas of the house the dehumidifier prevents damage to walls

and fornitures (MED level; ●●●).

In the KITCHEN, this equipment helps get rid of offensive odors and the condensation which forms while

cooking (MED level; ●●●).

BASEMENT OR ANY PLACE, when air is full of dampness, as this may cause feelings of DISCOMFORT,

or damages (MIN level; ●●).

Humidity control

Note: When first using the dehumidifier, turn the Humidity Control clockwise to CONT. Let the unit run

continuously at this setting. Observe the dampness conditions in the area being dried. When you feel

confortable and the dampness odors are gone, adjust the Humidity Control to the position between

OFF and MAX. that provides a "dryness" condition suitable to your needs/comfort.

At first, the dehumidier will remove large amounts of moisture. It will continue to do so until the relative

humidity is reduced to a point where moisture damage will not occur. Then, the amount of moisture

removed from the air will be less. This indicates that the dehumidifier is operating effectively and is

maintaining the relative humidity at the desired level. Judge the performance of the dehumidifier by

the elimination of dampness and dampness odors, not by the amount of water being deposited in the

bucket.

Electrical connections

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, check the following:

• The main power supply must correspond to the power supply shown on the rating plate.

• The power socket and the electrical circuit must be adequate to supply the appliance.

• The power socket must match the plug. If not, have the plug replaced by qualified personnel.

• The power socket must be adequately earthed.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility if these safety regulations are not complied with.

Cleaning the air filter

• The filter should be cleaned weekly.

• The filter has a comfortable access and it's extremely easy to

remove and replace it without using any tools (Fig. 5).

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust that builds up on the filter.

If the filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water and rinse several times.

The temperature of the water should not exceed 104°F.

After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before replacing

it in the appliance.

If the appliance is not used for long periods

• Disconnect the plug from the power socket and empty the tank.

• Clean and replace the filter.

• Protect the appliance from dust by covering with a large plastic

bag.
