Umkhiqizo Uphelileview



Setha
- Ukukhulula: Carefully remove the dehumidifier from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
- Ukubekwa: Place the unit upright on a firm, level surface. Ensure there is at least 20 cm of space around the air inlet (rear) and outlet (front) for proper airflow. The unit is equipped with wheels and handles for easy movement. It is suitable for rooms up to 60 m³.
- Ukuxhuma kwamandla: Xhuma intambo yamandla endaweni kagesi ephansi efana nevolumutage icaciswe kulebula yokulinganisa yeyunithi.
- Ithangi lamanzi: Ensure the water tank is correctly inserted into the unit. For continuous drainage, refer to the 'Continuous Drainage' section.
Imiyalelo yokusebenza
The control panel is located on the top of the unit and features an LCD display and several buttons for easy operation.

Imisebenzi Yephaneli Yokulawula:
- Inkinobho yamandla: Ivula noma IVALI iyunithi.
- Humidity Setting Button (%): Allows you to set the desired humidity level between 30% and 80%. The unit will operate until this level is reached and then cycle on/off to maintain it. The LCD display shows the current room humidity.
- Mode Button (Water Droplets): Switches between Dehumidification and Ventilation modes.
- Timer Button (Clock Icon): Sets the operating timer for up to 12 hours.
Izindlela zokusebenza:
- Imodi Yokukhipha Umswakama: The compressor and fan operate to remove moisture from the air. The unit will automatically stop when the set humidity level is reached or the water tank is full.
- Imodi Yokungenisa umoya: The fan operates without the compressor, circulating air without removing moisture. This mode is automatically activated when the water tank is full.
Imisebenzi ezenzakalelayo:
- Automatic Shut-off (Full Water Tank): When the 2.2-liter water tank is full, the compressor will automatically stop, and the unit will switch to ventilation mode. An audible signal will alert you. Empty the tank and reinsert it to resume dehumidification.
- I-Automatic Defrost: The unit features an automatic defrost function to prevent ice buildup on the evaporator coils, ensuring efficient operation in cooler environments (minimum operating temperature 5°C).
Ukugeleza kwamanzi okuqhubekayo:
For extended operation without needing to empty the water tank, connect the included drainage hose. Locate the continuous drainage outlet on the back of the unit (refer to Figure 5). Attach the hose and direct the other end into a suitable drain, such as a floor drain, large bucket, or sink. Ensure the hose is positioned downwards to allow gravity to drain the water.

Isondlo
Ukuthulula Ithangi Lamanzi:
When the water tank is full, the unit will alert you and switch to ventilation mode. Carefully pull out the water tank, empty the collected water, and slide it back into place until it clicks securely. The unit will then resume normal operation.
Ukuhlanza Isihlungi Somoya:

- Rinse the filter thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the unit. Do not use the unit without a dry filter.
Ukuhlanza Ingaphandle:
Sula ingaphandle leyunithi ngento ethambile, damp indwangu. Ungasebenzisi izihlanzi ezirhabaxa, izinyibilikisi, noma amakhemikhali anamandla, njengoba lokhu kungalimaza indawo.
