jocel JDE002136 DEHUMIDIFIER User Manual

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The dehumidifier is used to remove excessive moisture from the air. The resulting reduction in relative humidity protects buildings and their contents from the adverse effects of excess humidity. The environmentally friendly R290 is used as the refrigerant. R290 has no damaging influence on the ozone layer (ODP), a negligible greenhouse effect (GWP), and is available worldwide. jocel JDE002136 DEHUMIDIFIER User Manual.

Because of its efficient energy properties, R290 is highly suitable as a coolant for this application. Special precautions must be taken into consideration due to the coolant’s high flammability.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions for indicator lights

Power indicator: After plugging in, the power indicator shows green whether the machine starts working or not.

 

Water-full indicator: When the water tank is full, it shows red and the unit will bizz for 5 times.

Timer indicator: When the timer function is working, the indicator light shows green.

 

Sleep indicator (Low fan speed): It shows green when the unit is running at a low fan speed.

 

Turbo indicator (High fan speed): It shows green when the unit is running at high fan speed.

 

Drying clothes indicator: It shows green when the drying clothes function is working. In that mode, the compressor works continuously without the influence of the room humidity.

 

Clean filter indicator: After the accumulated running time reaches over 600 hours, this indicator will show red and the unit will bizz 20 times to warn the user to change the filter. If the user wants to cancel this warning, press the power button for 5 seconds, then the fan running time resets to 0.

 

Display: It has 3 functions as below:

1. When the power is on, it shows the room humidity;
2. When users adjust humidity, it shows the set humidity data;
3. When users set the timer on/off, it shows the timing data.

Instructions for Button Operation

Power button: Press this button, the indicator light shows blue and the machine starts to work in normal mode with a default humidity setting of 50%RH and low fan speed. The fan starts working and the compressor will begin to work 3 seconds later. Press this button again, the compressor stops and the fan will close 60 seconds later. All the indicator lights are off and it enters the standby mode.

 

Timer button: Press this button to set timing from 0 to 24 hours in one-hour increments/decrements, along with the Add button and Minus button. When the machine is running, press this button to set the shutdown time; when it is in standby mode, press this button to set the startup time. If users want to cancel the time setting, press the button until it shows 00 on the display.

Add and Minus button: (Timing and humidity setting):

The humidity adjustment is only effective in the normal mode. The initial humidity is 50%. Press these two buttons to program room humidity from 20% to 80% in 5% increments or a 5% decrease. When the set humidity value reaches one end, press again and it will reset to the other end. If the indoor humidity is lower than the set humidity, the machine stops automatically.

Fan speed button: Press this button to choose low fan speed(sleep) or high fan speed(turbo)

SETTINGS

Operation mode setting

Normal Operation

• Press the POWER key to turn on the unit.
• The unit operates in normal mode with the default 50% humidity set-point.
• The fan runs at Turbo speed by default.
• Press the POWER key again to turn off the dehumidifier.
• The fan keeps running for a while and then stops.
• The display reads room relative humidity

Drying Operation

• Press the POWER key to turn on the unit.
• Press the MODE key to activate the continuous drying mode.
• The unit starts to dehumidify in continuous operation, regardless of the humidity.
• Press the MODE key again to deactivate the continuous drying mode.

Set Humidity (setting range: 20%-90%):

Press the ADD/MINUS key repeatedly to adjust the humidity set-point by increments of 5%. The unit will cycle on and off to maintain the level. Set the humidity level between 40% and 60% for comfort.

Timer Setting（0 hour-24hours

The timer has two ways of operation:

Water FULL Indicator

The machine automatically shuts off once the water tank is full, alerting the user through an indicator light and buzzing 15 times. It reminds you to check:

• If the water tank is full, empty and re-install the water tank.
• If the water tank is not in position, the full indicator is always on, and the unit is inoperative. Re-install the tank correctly, and the unit will auto-operate as your last setting.

Room Temperature Inspection

In addition to the humidity level, the digital display can also indicate the current room temperature. Please check as follows:

• Press and hold the ADD/MINUS button for 5 seconds.
• The screen displays the temperature in degrees Celsius for 5 seconds.

Auto Restart function

When there is a power outage, the dehumidifier automatically restarts when the power comes back on and also resumes settings.

Automatic Defrost function

At low room temperatures (below 16 ℃), frost may build up at the evaporator reducing the airflow across it during dehumidifying.

• The dehumidifier will automatically start defrosting for 10 minutes.
• The POWER LED blinking.
• The compressor stops and the fan keeps running.
• Do not turn off the unit and it will automatically restart dehumidifying.

Inspect air filter

The air filter requires regular cleaning. The inspect filter LED will light up after every 600 hours of accumulated operation reminding the user to clean the filter. The air filter is reusable and washable. Press and hold the POWER button for 5 seconds to reset the filter inspection LED.

Overload Protection

In the event of a power loss, to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarts

WATER DRAINAGE

Water Tank:

When the water tank is full, the water full indicator shows red to warn that the tank has reached the maximal capacity.

How to empty the water tank:

1. Pull the water tank at the back of the machine slightly, the water tank is forced to move out.
2. Empty the water tank

Cautions

 

• Do not remove the float from the water tank; otherwise, the machine will not stop working when the water tank is full. Then the water will overflow which may cause damage to your floor.
• Drain the water completely when the water tank is full and reset your setting.
• If the water tank is dirty, clean it with cool or warm water. Don’t use cleaner, steel wool, chemical rag duster, gas oil, benzene, thinner, or other solvent to clean it, otherwise, it will damage the water tank and lead to leakage.
• Please use two hands to put the water tank into the machine correctly, or the water full indicator will still show red and the machine cannot work.

Continuous drainage

1. Open the cover on the back of the dehumidifier
2. Take out the water tank

Steps:

Remove the plastic of the water outlet port, then insert one side of the drainage pipe into the hole of the water outlet, and put the other side in a specific location.

Place the outlet of the hose over a drain or bucket and ensure that water can freely flow out of the unit. Do not submerge the end of the hose into the water; otherwise, it can cause an “Air Lock” in the hose.

Drain hose (inner diameter =11mm)

To avoid water spillage:

As the negative pressure of the condensate drain pan is large, tilt the drain hose downward toward the floor. It is appropriate that the degree of inclination should exceed 20 degrees. Straighten the hose to avoid a trap existing in the hose

Caution:

1. Never bend the drainage pipe and be always slower than the outlet.
2. Must close the cover when no need for continuous drainage.

HOW TO CLEAN THE FILTER

1. Take out the filter
2. Clean the filter Immerse it gently into warm water (about 40℃) with a neutral detergent and rinse it, then dry it thoroughly in a ventilated place. Use the vacuum with its brush attachment to remove any dust.
3. Assemble the filter: Insert the filter back into the machine slowly
