3.5. Defrosting Operation
The evaporator within the dehumidifier frosts during the dehumidifying operation at a room temperature of approximately 15°C or less. To
remove frost, the defrosting device works automatically at an interval of approximately every 30 minutes for a duration of approximately
5 minutes. Both the dehumidifying function and the air cleaning function stop during the defrosting operation. Do not disconnect the plug or
turn off the unit during the defrosting operation.
3.6. Continuous Draining
3.6.1. If there is a suitable draining point, which must be lower than the dehumidifier, continuous draining can be carried out. The continuous
operation enables the dehumidifying operation to continue uninterrupted for long periods of time.
3.6.2. Turn off the dehumidifier, disconnect the plug and remove the water collection tank.
3.6.3. The hose length required for draining is the distance to the place for draining plus approx. 40cm for feeding through the dehumidifier. Select
a hose of appropriate diameter for a tight fit on the internal drain pipe outlet.
3.6.4. To make the opening in the rear of the dehumidifier, remove the cover carefully by means of a screwdriver or knife.
3.6.5. Feed the pipe through from the rear of the unit and securely push the pipe over the drain pipe outlet. Refit the water collection tank (the unit
will not operate unless the tank is in place).

4.3. Replacing the Air Filter (every 6 months)
The life span of the air cleaning filters is approximately 6 months depending on the air conditions where the dehumidifier is located.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1. Emptying the Water Collection Tank
During the dehumidifying operation, water is collected in the water collection tank. When the tank is full of water, the dehumidifier stops
operating automatically, the warning indicator will light and the buzzer will sound. The unit will not restart until the water collection tank
has been emptied.
4.1.1. Remove water collection tank from the dehumidifier by pulling it gently outwards (fig.4).
4.1.2. Hold the tank by the handle and carry it carefully to an emptying point.
4.1.3. Tilt the tank in the direction as shown (fig.4) and slowly empty the water out of the tank ( DO NOT re-use the water for any other purpose).
4.1.4. Refit the tank in the dehumidifier, making sure it is properly located as the unit will not restart if it is not fitted properly.
4.2. Cleaning Air Filters (every 2 weeks)
The dehumidifying capacity is lowered when the air cleaning filters become dirty and clogged.
4.2.1. To remove small front filter, remove the front cover above the water tank from the unit by gently unclipping it. Ease the filter gently away
from the unit (fig.5).
4.2.2. To remove large filter, remove the back cover by opening it at the top first, then pulling it away from the unit then lifting it up from it's locators.
4.2.3. Remove the holder from the back cover by unclipping it gently and then lift the filter away from the back cover (fig.5).
4.2.4. To dislodge dust from the filters, tap them lightly or carefully use a vacuum cleaner.
4.2.5. If the filters are very dirty, wash them carefully in water with a neutral detergent, then rinse well with clean water and leave until dry.

under it's retaining clips.
