Danby DDR45A3GDB - Manual (Page 9)

The water tank should be carefully removed from the machine by sliding it outward from the
front of the unit, and it should be emptied. When the empty tank is replaced properly in the
machine, the unit will start up and run normally (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Please use both hands to carefully empty the water tank.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6
WATER FULL INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)
When the bucket is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the water full red light turns on and remains on
until such time as the bucket is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned. This condition will result in the immediate shut
down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operation are terminated). This is a safety feature.
When the bucket is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifi er will resume operation automatically.
NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.
DEHUMIDIFYING
Dehumidifying is a means of removing moisture from the air. A dehumidifi er will help to protect your home and valued
possessions from damage (swelling) caused by moisture in the air. Essentially a dehumidifi er removes moisture from the
air as the moist air passes over a dehumidifying (evaporator) coil. Moisture is condensed on the evaporator coil, drained,
and collected inside an internal (removable) water tank located at the front of the unit. The exhausted air being returned
into the room environment is elevated several degrees, causing the surrounding air temperature to increase
(slightly). This process also contributes to lowering the relative humidity of the surrounding air.
DEHUMIDIFYING MODE SELECTION:
1) To turn the unit on, press the ON / OFF button.
2) Press the humidity or buttons to select a desired RH operating value (30%-90%).
FAN SPEED SELECTION:
Select a fan speed on the keypad. The speed you select is identifi ed by the (illuminated) indicator light located directly
above the selection made.
1. Place the product in an upright position on a fl at, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
Make sure there is nothing fl ammable or heat sensitive within 39 inches (100 cm).
Operating the product in any other position could cause a hazard.
2. Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket. The dehumidifi er is suitable for operating
on an electricity supply having the same voltage as that shown on its rating label.
3. Make sure the water tank is correctly positioned. After switching the unit on for the
fi rst time, if the ``Bucket Full`` light illuminates, pull out the water tank and check that
the ``fl oat`` lever is able to move freely. Then return the water tank to the correct
position (Fig. 1).
START OPERATION
WATER TANK OPERATION
The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and, by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and
operation of the dehumidifi cation process.
When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced insider the cabinet, the fl oat switch actuator (inside the tank)
breaks contact with the safety swtich. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the
compressor and fan motor system, preventing moisture from being condensed.
IMPORTANT
Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) fl oat switch system. Proper installation
of the water tank is crucial in maintaining reliable dehumidifi er operation.
