Looking after your Powerdri
Your Powerdri requires very little maintenance, however, to maximise performance clean the filter
every month (replacing every 3 to 4 months dependent upon usage) and every 6 months you should
check the drainage system as follows:
1. Using a standard matchstick or small plastic bottle brush, remove any residue from the water
drain outlet above the water container (left hand side).
2. Pull out the permanent drainage bung from the rear of the unit. This should then be pushed
in and out a few times to remove any build up inside the drain tray (have a cloth or other
absorbent material handy to catch the water). The bung should then be pushed fully home to
reseal the drain tray.
Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean your Powerdri.
If your Powerdri fails to operate
Always check the following list before requesting a repair service. Should a service call be
requested and the fault is found to be detailed below, a charge may be incurred.
Power indicator light is not illuminated.
Check
1. The unit is switched on at the mains. If necessary test the socket by plugging in another
appliance.
2. Check the fuse in the plug and if necessary replace with another 13 amp fuse (UK plug only).
If you continue to have problems please see 'Requesting Service'.
Power indicator light is illuminated, but the unit is not collecting water.
Check
1. The humidistat (if activated) may be set too low, increase the setting.
2. The water container may be full, empty the container.
3. Ensure the water container is fitted. If you continue to have problems please see 'Requesting
Service'.
Reduced water extraction.
Check
1. The humidistat (if activated) may be set too low, if signs of condensation or dampness
remain, increase the setting.
2. The filter may be blocked. Remove, clean and refit.
3. After being installed all dehumidifiers will collect less moisture as initial excess moisture is
removed. This is normal.
4. The dehumidifier may be positioned next to a heat source i.e. a radiator – reposition. If you
continue to have problems see 'Requesting Service'.
Red water container light remains on all the time and the dehumidifier is not running (Normal
when the water container is full).
Check
1. Ensure the water container is not full.
2. Ensure the water container is fitted. If you continue to have problems see 'Requesting
Service'.
