Danby DDR050BLPBDB-ME Owner's Manual

To set up your Danby dehumidifier, place it on a flat, stable surface. Ensure that all packaging materials are removed. Plug it into a grounded electrical outlet and adjust the humidity setting to your desired level using the control panel.
If your dehumidifier is not collecting water, ensure that the humidity setting is below the current room humidity. Check if the air filter and exhaust are clean and unobstructed. Also, ensure that the room temperature is above 65°F (18°C) for optimal performance.
It is recommended to clean the air filter every two weeks. Remove the filter from the unit, wash it with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
The dehumidifier may shut off if the water tank is full. Check and empty the tank if needed. Another reason could be reaching the set humidity level, or, if the unit is overheating, ensure proper ventilation around the device.
Yes, you can use your dehumidifier continuously. However, ensure the water tank is regularly emptied or use a continuous drainage option to avoid overflow. Regular maintenance checks are advisable to ensure optimal performance.
The error code E1 typically indicates a problem with the humidity sensor. Try resetting the unit by unplugging it for a few minutes. If the issue persists, contact Danby customer support for assistance.
To enable continuous drainage, connect a garden hose to the drainage port at the back of the unit, ensuring it is securely attached. Position the hose to direct water to a suitable drainage location.
The optimal humidity setting for most homes is between 30% and 50%. Adjust the setting based on your comfort and the specific needs of your environment.
To reset the filter light, press and hold the filter button for 3 seconds after cleaning and reinstalling the filter. The light should turn off, indicating the reset is complete.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter every two weeks, checking and cleaning the water tank, inspecting the coils for dust accumulation, and ensuring unobstructed airflow around the unit.
