It may stop operation out of this range or when the air inlet or outlet is covered. (The "Full / Check" LED light will illuminate) 2. The unit includes heater function that could increase the room temperature. If your Dehumidifier stops working or "Full / Check" LED illuminates, please check the following items first. Problem Dehumidifier doesn’t start (no lamp) Full / Check lamp lights Possible Causes The unit is unplugged Make sure the plug is pushed completely into the outlet. The fuse is blown orcircuit breaker is tripped Check the house fuse / circuit breaker box and replace fuse or reset the breaker. The room humidity has reached the setting If you turn the humidistat clockwise the unit should turn on for a drier humidity level. The bucket is full or not in place Empty the bucket, check the float in position, and replace the bucket. The unit is not level on the floor / surface Place the unit on a stable, level surface. The air inlet or outlet is covered / blocked Make sure there is nothing blocking the air inlet and air outlet of the unit. Clean the filter. Unplug and wait at least 30 minutes to resume operation. Filter clogged with dust Lack of air ventilation in the room The ambient temperature is too high, such as over 35ºC Water on floor What to Do Do not use it in a small and closed place where heat accumulates. Move to a cooler place, wait at least 30 minutes to resume operation. Unit has safety feature to prevent it from overheat, wait at least 30 minutes to resume operation. The unit is not level Check the unit is placed on a level surface and not accidentally sitting on a cable etc. The drainage is clogged or loose Check the drainage hose and its connection. Rubber plug missing from the bucket Fix the plug in the bucket NOTE: 1. If the "Full / Check" LED illuminates, turn off the unit, unplug from the power socket, check and clean the filter. If it is dirty, remove any obstacle that covers the air inlet or outlet, and wait for at least ten minutes before plugging in and switching back on. 2. Under low temperature and low humidity conditions, "Full / Check" may come on to prevent unit from overheating. Move unit to a warmer and damper room and wait 30 minutes before switching on. 10 Do not try to repair it by yourself, as this could cause an electrical shock and void your warranty. TROUBLESHOOTING Smell coming from the dehumidifier When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might notice a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odours from items like cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room. This smell has been described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of a fault. Amount of water collected When you first use your dehumidifier it will work harder to reduce the room humidity to it's target of eg. 55-60%RH (on Auto mode), this is the time when it will produce the most water and need emptying most frequently. As the room becomes dryer the dehumidifier collects less water and runs at a lower fan speed. This is normal. When the target relative humidity has been reached the air coming out of the dehumidifier will not be heated and it will only be running in low fan mode. This is because there is no need for dehumidification at this point and the dehumidifier is sampling the air to check the current relative humidity to see if dehumidification is required. If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you need to dry the air further then using the High fan speed, or the Turbo Laundry mode, will force the dehumidifier to dry the air further to 40-45%RH. This might well be necessary if you have single glazed windows or if the outside air temperature drops to freezing. Ventilation The dehumidifier must not be placed in a confined space. Move the dehumidifier to a well ventilated area for example in a hallway, landing or a ventilated room. Ensure that its not in close proximity to any form of heat source, such as a radiator or appliances that generate heat (eg tumble dryer or cooker). The air inlet and outlet must not be obstructed. 11 SPECIFICATIONS Model: ECO DD322FW SIMPLE Operating Temperature Range: 1ºC - 35ºC Dehumidifier extraction Rate: 10 Litres/Day(20oC, 60%RH) Bucket Capacity: 3.5 Litres Power: High: 620-720W / Low:400-460W Voltage: 220-240V ~ /50Hz Net Weight: 8.5Kg Dimensions: Width 416 x Depth 186 x Height 552 (mm) 12 SERVICE AND WARRANTY ONE (1) YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Save This Warranty Information Eco Air guarantees this product free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase.
