The maximum number of pieces of equipment permitted to be stored together will be determined by local regulations.
- Information on servicing1)Checks to the areaPrior to beginning work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. For repair to the refrigerating system, the following precautions shall be complied with prior to conducting work on the system.2)Work procedureWork shall be undertaken under a controlled procedure so as to minimize the risk of flammable gas or vapor being present while the work is being performed.3)General work areaAll maintenance staff and others working in the local area shall be instructed on the nature of the work being carried out. Work in confined spaces shall be avoided. The area around the workspace shall be sectioned off. Ensure that the conditions within the area have been made safe by control of flammable material.4)Checking for presence of refrigerantThe area shall be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector prior to and during work, to ensure the technician is aware of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak detection equipment being used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe.5)Presence of fire extinguisherIf any hot work is to be conducted on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, appropriate fire extinguishing equipment shall be available to hand. Have a dry powder or CO2 fire extinguisher adjacent to the charging area.6)No ignition sourcesNo person carrying out work in relation to a refrigeration system that involves exposing any pipework that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in such a manner that it may lead to the risk of fire or explosion. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the site of installation, repairing, removing, and disposal, during which flammable refrigerant can possibly be released to the surrounding space. Prior to work taking place, the area around the equipment is to be surveyed to make sure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. No Smoking signs shall be displayed.7)Ventilated areaEnsure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.8)Checks to the refrigeration equipmentWhere electrical components are being changed, they shall be fit for the purpose and to the correct specification. At all times the manufacturer’s maintenance and service guidelines shall be followed. If in doubt consult the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The following checks shall be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed;The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed;If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant; Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected;Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may corrode refrigerant containing components unless the components are constructed of materials that are inherently resistant to being corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.9)Checks to electrical devicesRepair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault exists that could compromise the safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.Initial safety checks shall include:That capacitor are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of sparking;That there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering, or purging the system; That there is continuity of earth bonding.
- Repairs to sealed components1)During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.2)Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, an excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc. Ensure that apparatus is mounted securely. Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded such that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.NOTE: The use of silicone sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
- Repair to intrinsically safe componentsDo not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and currently permitted for the equipment in use. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while living in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
- CablingCheck that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
- Detection of flammable refrigerantsUnder no circumstances shall potential sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
- Leak detection methodsThe following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors shall be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate or may need re-calibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine may react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work. If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/ extinguished.If leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerants shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut-off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak.Oxygen-free nitrogen (OFN) shall then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.
- Removal and evacuationWhen breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs or for any other purpose conventional procedures shall be used. However, it is important that best practice is followed since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to: Remove refrigerant; Purge the circuit with inert gas; Evacuate; Purge again with inert gas; Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders. The system shall be flushed with OFN to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for this task. Flushing shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with OFN and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to the atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system.When the final OFN charge is used, the system shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations on the pipe-work are to take place. Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any ignition sources and there is ventilation available.
- Charging proceduresIn addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed. Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.Cylinders shall be kept upright.Ensure that the refrigeration system is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the refrigeration system. Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure tested with OFN. The system shall be leak tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow-up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
- DecommissioningBefore carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely.Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of reclaimed refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation. b) Isolate system electrically. c) Before attempting the procedure ensure that: Mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders; All personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;The recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person; Recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards. d) Pump down the refrigerant system, if possible. e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system. f) Make sure that the cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place. g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge). i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily. j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptlyand all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off. k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
- LabelingEquipment shall be labeled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
- RecoveryWhen removing refrigerants from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labeled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with a pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs. The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants.In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained, and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release.Consult the manufacturer if in doubt. The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning thecompressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

- Be sure to insert the dehumidifier body gently all the way into the bucket.
- When you remove the bucket, if there is some water in the unit you must make the unit dry.
Continuous draining
- Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching the unit with a water hose(not included).
- Remove the cover located on the back of the water bucket, then remove the rubber plug. Attach a drain hose and lead it to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
- Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
- Direct the hose toward the drain area, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water from flowing.
- Place the end of the hose into the drain area and make sure the end of the hose is level or downwards to let the water flow smoothly. Do never let it up.
- Make sure the hose is lower than the drain hose outlet.
- Select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for continuous draining to start.Note: When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the drain hose from the outlet, reinstall the rubber plug and cover.
3. Pump draining (on some models)
- Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain or a suitable drainage facility by attaching the pump drain outlet with a pump drain hose(Φod=1/4′′, supplied).
- Install the pump hose into the pump hose intake of the unit, and rotate it.
- Install the pump drain hose into the pump drain hose outlet for a depth of 15mm at least, then lead the water hose to the floor drain or a suitable drainage facility.
- Put the dehumidifier on the bucket again.
- Press and hold on to the Up/Down buttons for 2 seconds to initiate the PUMP feature. When the PUMP is activated, the bucket capacity is at the 4th fill level and cannot be selected. The PUMP works only if the bucket is full of water at the 4th fill level.
Note: The pump may cause big noise when it starts to work for 3~5 minutes. It is a normal phenomenon.
- Make sure the hose is secure so there are no leaks.
- Direct the hose toward the drain, making sure that there are no kinks that will stop the water from flowing.
- Place the end of the hose into the drain and make sure the end of the hose is level or down to let the water flow smoothly. Do never let it up.
- select the desired humidity setting and fan speed on the unit for pump draining to start.
Note: The pump operation on light blinks at 1Hz when the pump is an operational failure. Please turn off the unit and plug the power cord out. Check the following things:
- Cleaning the filter of the pump hose.
- Check that the pump drain hose does not link or back.
- Empty the water from the bucket.
- Reinstall the pump hose if it drops and reinstall the bucket properly. Turn on the unit. If the error repeats, call for service.Note: Do not use this operation when the outdoor temperature is equal to or less than 0 C (32 F), otherwise water becomes ice that will cause the water hose to block up and the unit failure. Make sure to empty the bucket once a week when using the pump draining feature. When the pump draining feature is not being used, remove the pump drain hose from the outlet.
- Press the pump drain hose outlet in and take the pump drain hose out from it. Take the pump hose out from the unit. Make sure to not let the water in the pump hose drip to the floor.
Care and Maintenance
Care and cleaning of the dehumidifierTurn the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Clean the Grille and Case
- Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.
- Do not splash water directly onto the main unit. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, cause the insulation to deteriorate, or cause the unit to rust.
- The air intake and outlet grilles get soiled easily, so use a vacuum attachment or brush to clean.
Clean the bucket
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it around in the bucket, empty, and rinse.Note: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the bucket. After cleaning, the bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
Clean the air filter
The air filter behind the two flanks grille should be checked and cleaned at least every two weeks or more often if necessary.NOTE: DO NOT RINSE OR PUT THE FILTER IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.To remove:
- Grip the handle on the filter and pull it outward.
- Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher.
To attach:
- Insert the air filter back into the unit.
CAUTIONDO NOT operate the dehumidifier without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
Note: The cabinet and front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent.Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Never use harsh cleansers, wax, or polish on the cabinet front. Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around the controls may cause damage to the unit.
When not using the unit for long time periods
- After turning off the unit, wait one day for water collecting before emptying the bucket.
- Clean the main unit, water bucket, and air filter.
- Cover the unit with a plastic bag.
