IMPORTANT: The unit is not to be used in temperatures under 5 °C. 5 GB HOW IT WORKS Condenser (Warmed coil) Evaporater (Cold refrigerated coil) Compressor Fan Motor Micro switch Water tank Dry warmer air Moist air Your Amcor dehumidifier draws air through two filters onto a refrigerated cold coil. As the air in the room passes over the cold surface, moisture condenses and collects into a removable water tank. The drier, slightly warmer air is then expelled through the air outlet with movable louvres on top of the unit into the room The dehumidifier controls the moisture level and protects your furniture, precious possessions and decor from the damaging effects of excessive moisture. Your dehumidifier is also great for drying the laundry, but not in permanent humid areas such as the bathroom! When the water tank is full, a micro switch automatically stops the unit and an indicator light signals the need to empty the tank. If preferred a continuous drainage hose connected to the bottom of the unit can be used to drain the water. SAVE ENERGY It takes less energy to warm dry air than damp humid air! 6 GB PLACEMENT Your AMCOR dehumidifier will begin to protect your home from the harmful effects of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on. Excess moisture travels throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells spread to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation. Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier there and later moving it to a more central point. For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors and windows kept closed when the dehumidifier is operating. Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a radiator or other heat source. When positioning your AMCOR dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed securely on a level surface clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement. Your AMCOR dehumidifier is fitted with 4 wheels for easy movement. Before you move the unit, switch it off and empty the water tank. 7 GB CONTROL PANEL AND OPERATION 1 2 3 4 ON and humidity level control [2] Turn the humidity control knob to the OFF position before connecting to the mains. Set the humidity controller to the required humidity level or fully clockwise to the maximum position for continuous working. By rotating the knob clockwise the unit will switch off at a lower relative humidity, i.e. it will extract more. OFF To turn off the unit, turn the humidity controller fully anticlockwise to OFF. Indicator light [3] will go out. Fan speed control [1] This dehumidifier features a twin speed fan. To select required fan speed press fan speed switch as shown. In normal conditions, set the speed to high . For quieter operation, set the speed to low . Water container full indicator [4] When the water container is full the unit will switch off and the indicator will illuminate (see "Emptying the water tank" how to proceed). Remarks: 1. The unit does not run when the set humidity level is higher than the relative humidity in the room. 2. To protect the compressor from possible damage, please wait three minutes after turning off the unit before switching back on again. 3. The working temperature is 5 - 35 °C. 4. When the unit runs the expelled air is warmer than the room air. 5. When the unit does not start (indicator light [3] is out), check if cable and electricity function as they should, wait for 10 minutes. If the unit then does not start, call for assistance. 8 When the water tank is full, the unit will switch off automatically and the indicator [4] will illuminate. At this time, please empty the water tank as follows: • Slowly slide out the tank squarely using the recess at the bottom of the water tank as shown. • Holding the handle inside the container, pull it slightly up and then pull out gently for easy removal. • Once emptied, gently push the water tank back into place checking the indicator light is off. If the tank is not in the correct position the indicator light will stay on. Continuous drainage Optional: For the continuous drainage facility please refer to the following: 1. Remove the water cap from the tube beneath the unit. * Please keep the rubber plug safely for future use. 2. Fit a hose with an inside diameter of 11 mm over the drainage spout. 3. Ensure the water will always drain away freely and the hose will remain in place. 4. If you no longer need to drain continuously, take off the water tube and replace the rubber plug. The water will then drain into the container. Note: In very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to prevent the drainage hose from freezing.
