Features of this dehumidifi er

z

Room temperature may rise

2-4°C during operation

Unlike an air conditioner, the unit is not capable of cooling a whole room. Using the unit in a closed room will instead cause the room temperature to rise.

How does the dehumidifi er work?

<Heat Pump Cycle>

If you pour cold water into a cup, the air around it becomes cold, causing water droplets to form on the surface of the cup.

The dehumidifi er takes advantage of this phenomenon to remove moisture from the air.

1 The unit draws air from the room, cools it with its cooling coil, causing the moisture to transform into water droplets.

2 The water droplets fall into the water tank.

3 Air passed through the re-heating coil is heated and

blown out from an air outlet. (The air outlet varies depending on the operating mode.)

The humidity of the room is thus reduced by repeating steps 1, 2, and 3.

z

The humidity reading on the unit may differ from a hygrometer in the same room

Even in the same room, temperature and humidity levels may differ from place to place. If the hygrometer and the unit are in different parts of the room, the humidity levels are prone to differ. Moreover, humidity levels differ between places that have good and no airfl ow.

Use the reading on the unit as an estimate.

a re they diffe re n t?

<Cause>

Inconsistencies in temperature and humidity

Difference in location

Difference in hygrometer precision z

The unit can operate in a room temperature range of 1-35°C.

However, if the room temperature exceeds 35°C, the unit may operate in blower mode or increase the airfl ow. This is because the temperature within the unit rises causing the protection mechanism to operate. In order to lower the internal temperature of the unit, use the unit with the swing stopped and louvre vertical.

If the temperature is below 1°C, the extracted water is close to freezing disabling the dehumidifi er, and only the blower is operational.

z

The defrosting operation is performed when the room temperature falls to 15°C or less

In all modes, the defrosting operation is performed automatically when the room temperature falls to 15°C or less.

Approximately once every 40 minutes at its most frequent, the DEFROST lamp lights and airfl ow (dehumidifying) stops automatically, and then the frost that has accumulated inside the unit will be melted and dropped into the tank.

Please wait a moment as operation will resume in around 5 minutes.

Airfl ow stops after air is blown for approximately

2 minutes.

The operation sound changes

z

The amount of dehumidifying becomes less in winter.

When the temperature and humidity are low, the amount of water collected is decreased.

In winter, because the temperature is lower than in summer, the effect of the dehumidifi er is greatly reduced as shown in the graph below.

Although only a little water collects in the tank, this is not a malfunction.
