dehumidifier in as small a room as possible with the door and windows closed. The dehumidifier will
dry continuously to try to achieve a relative humidity of about 35%rh which will help to dry the washing
efficiently. In Laundry Mode the dehumidifier will turn off after 6 hours to save energy.
Take care to ensure that the dehumidifier does not become covered by the washing and that no water
drips onto the dehumidifier.
Timer - Using this button turns the machine off after either 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours of use. This setting
is useful for drying washing in a set time.
Ion - Turns the ioniser function on or off. An ioniser delivers negative ions into the air, these will
attach themselves to positive ions (dust for example). This action makes the new particle heavier and
the particle will fall to ground and will either be captured by the filter or will settle on the floor ready to be
vacuumed up. The advantage of this is that you are less likely to inhale the particle which is good news
if you are allergic to certain pollutants and the air will be cleaner.
*In the three modes that are controlled by the relative humidity stat (Minimum/Normal and
Maximum) when the target relative humidity has been reached the dehumidifier will stop drying
the air but the fan will continue to run for 10 more minutes. When this happens no more water
will be collected, this is perfectly normal. The fan then goes to sleep for 30 minutes after which
it will wake up and sample the air so that the dehumidifier knows when to start collecting water
again, but if the relative humidity remains below the target then the fan will go to sleep again for
another 30 minutes and so on. When the relative humidity rises again the dehumidifier will
automatically start to collect water again. Although the Laundry mode aims for a lower relative
humidity it will reach a point after which there will be no more water to collect because it will not
over dry the air below a point at which the air will become uncomfortable (around 35%rh).
If one of the following events happens then the control panel will lock up and the fan light will flash.
• Temperature below 10°C
• Temperature above 40°C
• Relative humidity below 40%rh
• Machine has been working hard and needs to cool down internally
If you find that this happens and none of the buttons on the control respond, then do not worry, this is
normal and the dehumidifier is still drying the air as per the setting you left it in. The control panel will
start to work again when the conditions allow.
