Wall mounting your appliance: This dehumidifier can be hung on a wall or used freestanding on a flat level surface. It is suggested to hang it on the wall with more than 150cm above ground, so that infants won't play with it. Place the dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict air flow into the air inlet or out of the air outlet. Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed space to be most effective. Close all doors, windows to the room for effective operation.
Identification of Parts
Wall-mounting instruction: A wall mounting bracket is supplied on the back of the heater for installation.
Set the wall plate against the wall so that the unit will have a floor clearance of at least 150cm. Ensure it is horizontal and mark the 2 fixing locations through the keyhole slots on the plate. Remove plate and drill 2 x 6mm diameter holes 20mm deep and fit the wall plugs supplied, realign the plate and fit the 2 screws supplied tightly in position. Note that 4 additional holes are provided and one or all can be used to permanently fix with steel nails. The appliance is now simply hung onto the bracket by aligning the back panel location to the wall plate and dropping the product onto the plate while pushing it against the wall to ensure it locates properly.
Freestanding Operation The unit must be placed on a stable, level and horizontal surface , otherwise water may leak out when operating. NOTE: When in use you must ensure that the air inlet and air outlet of the appliance are not obstructed
Fitting the Water Tank: The water tank must be fitted properly. When the tank is full or is not in place correctly the" FULL" indication lights and the unit stops or won’t start operating.
NORMAL OPERATION Controls are located at the bottom right hand corner of the appliance. On the left are indicator lights and on the right is a dual option simple rotary control knob for selecting the operation required.

It will automatically return to dehumidification. (To maintain the efficiency of dehumidification, the defrosting time is controlled to be less than one third of the running time.) 3) " FULL" indicator : This lights up when the water tank is full of water or out of position. To restart please empty the tank and / or refit the tank correctly. Note:

TROUBLESHOOTING ADVICE Notes 1) When the appliance is first plugged in and switched on only the Fan will be running, this is normal and continues for about 3 minutes before it will automatically switch to DEHUMIDIFY operation.(This is a design feature to improve the reliability of the product.) 2) When the appliance is operating the surrounding air becomes slightly warmer due to the heating effect of the dehumidifying unit, this is normal and helps to further reduce the relative humidity of the surrounding air. 3) Before you call for service please check the following typical problem list for a cause and solution: PROBLEM Dehumidifier won’t start
POSSIBLE CAUSES The unit is unplugged The fuse is blown or circuit breaker is tripped
The water tank is full or not located correctly No water or just a little water is generated
