4. Set dehumidification mode
The WCD1HG has 3 different modes;
automatic dehumidification (AU),
continuous dehumidification (CO),
and normal dehumidification.
Press the MODE key to toggle
between the different modes.
AU: Automatic dehumidification
Automatic dehumidification is the
easiest way to use the WCD1HG. In
this mode, the unit will automatically
set a comfortable and safe humidi-
ty level depending on the ambient
temperature:
Temperature below 5°C:
The compressor shuts off.
Temperature between 5°C-20°C:
humidity level is set at 60% RH
Temperature between 20°C-27°C:
humidity level is set at 55% RH
Temperature above 27°C:
humidity level is set at 50% RH
CO: Continuous Dehumidifying
In continuous dehumidification mode,
the unit will run continuously until
shut off, despite ambient humidity or
temperature.
Normal Dehumidifying
(the display shows ambient humidity
or set humidity).
The dehumidifier will operate accor-
ding to your set humidity level. Set
the humidity according to the instruc-
tions above.
4.Water drainage
Connect the included water hose to
the pipe on the side of the dehumi-
difier. Lead the other end to a drain.
The dehumidifier will automatically
drain the water when needed.
If the drain is located above the
dehumidifier, the maximum capacity
of the water pump is 5 m. If the water
is drained downwards, there is no
limit for the distance. The width of the
water hose is 12 mm.

Manual water drainage
Press and hold TIME/PUMP key to
drain the water manually. The water
pump will work for 20 seconds before
stopping. Repeat until all water is
drained.
Drain the water manually before sto-
ring or moving the unit.
5. The air filter
The air filter prevents dust and dirt
from entering the machine, prolong-
ing its life expectancy.
It is very important that the
filter is cleaned regularly;
otherwise the dehumidifier
might lose capacity and even
be seriously damaged.
Filter cleaning
1. Open the front panel (see fig A).
2. Remove the filter inside.
3. Clean the filter with a soft cleaner
and warm water. Make sure that the
filter is fully dried before reinserting it.
Alternatively, you can clean the filter
with a vacuum cleaner.
4. Reinsert the filter and close the
front panel.
6. Maintenance
Clean the unit with a soft moist
cloth. Do not use solvents or strong
cleaners as this might damage the
surface of the unit.
- The front and side grids can be
vacuum-cleaned or cleaned with a
brush.
- The cooling coils are best cleaned
with a rag and warm water.
7. Service
If the dehumidifier requires servicing,
you must first contact your local retai-
ler. Proof of purchase is required for
all warranty claims.

8. Warranties
2 years product warranty. Please
note that the warranty is only valid
upon the production of the receipt.
This machine complies with EEC
directives 76/889 + 82/499
9. Hints
Sometimes it may be useful to use
a frost guard or heater fan to make
sure that the temperature does not
fall below +5˚C. Even if the WCD-
1HG works down to temperatures as
low as 0°C, its capacity will increase
at higher temperatures as warm air
carries more water.
For maximum dehumidifying power
in a room, it is recommended that
the air supply from outside and from
adjoining rooms is minimized – close
doors and ventilators.
Expect higher dehumidification
capacity during Autumn / Summer
because the outside air is warmer
and more humid.
To achieve a safe and reliable pro-
tection against mould and moisture
damage, keep the relative humidity
between 50% and 60%.
