To set up your Sandstrom SDH20L18E Dehumidifier, place it on a flat, stable surface in the room where moisture control is needed. Ensure there is at least 20 cm of clearance around the unit for proper air circulation. Plug it into a grounded electrical outlet, and set your desired humidity level using the control panel.
If the dehumidifier is not collecting water, check if the room temperature is below 15°C, as the unit may not work efficiently in cooler temperatures. Ensure the humidity setting is lower than the current room humidity. Confirm that the air filter is clean and the unit is positioned correctly with no obstructions.
It is recommended to clean the air filter at least once every two weeks. Remove the filter from the unit and wash it with lukewarm water, then allow it to dry completely before reinserting it into the dehumidifier.
To maintain efficiency, regularly clean the air filter, check and empty the water tank, and ensure the unit's vents are unobstructed. Place the dehumidifier in a centralized location in the room, away from walls and furniture for optimal air flow.
A loud noise may indicate that the dehumidifier is not on a level surface or the fan is obstructed. Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, flat surface and inspect the fan for any debris. Tighten any loose panels or screws that may cause vibrations.
To improve energy efficiency, set the humidity level to a moderate setting, maintain regular cleaning of the air filter, and use the dehumidifier in closed spaces to prevent excess humidity from entering. Only run the unit when necessary and during off-peak energy hours if possible.
Refer to the user manual for specific error codes and troubleshooting steps. Common solutions include checking for proper drainage, ensuring the filter and airways are clear, and resetting the unit by unplugging it for a few minutes before restarting.
Yes, the Sandstrom SDH20L18E can be used in a basement. Ensure that the temperature is above 15°C for optimal performance and that the unit is placed away from walls to allow for adequate air circulation.
To set the timer, press the 'Timer' button on the control panel. Use the up and down arrows to select the desired time duration. The unit will start or stop automatically based on the timer settings. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions specific to your model.
Regularly empty the water tank to prevent overflow and mildew. Clean the tank with mild soap and water once a month to maintain hygiene. Ensure the float switch, if present, is functioning correctly to avoid operational issues.
