To set up your Sandstrom SDH50L16E Dehumidifier, first ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface. Plug it into a power outlet, and press the power button to turn it on. Adjust the humidity settings using the control panel to your desired level.
The ideal humidity setting for most homes is between 30% and 50%. This range helps prevent mold growth and dust mites, while also maintaining comfort. Adjust based on your personal comfort and local climate conditions.
To clean the filter, first turn off the dehumidifier and unplug it. Remove the filter from the back panel. Rinse it with warm water and mild detergent, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Clean the filter every two weeks for optimal performance.
If your dehumidifier is not collecting water, check if the humidity setting is too high, or if the ambient humidity is already low. Ensure the room temperature is above 5°C (41°F) as the unit may not function effectively in colder temperatures. Also, make sure the air filter is clean.
The frequency of emptying the water tank depends on the humidity level and usage. Generally, it should be checked and emptied daily or whenever the "Full Tank" indicator lights up. Consider using the continuous drainage option if available.
The Sandstrom SDH50L16E is not designed to operate efficiently in environments below 5°C (41°F). Using it in colder conditions can result in reduced efficiency and potential freezing of internal components.
To enable continuous drainage, connect a suitable hose to the drainage port on the dehumidifier. Ensure the hose is directed to a floor drain or suitable drainage area. Check that the hose is securely attached and free from kinks.
If an error code appears, refer to the user manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to the code. Common solutions include checking for obstructions, ensuring the unit is on a level surface, and resetting the dehumidifier by unplugging it for a few minutes.
To improve efficiency, ensure doors and windows are closed in the area being dehumidified. Regularly clean the air filter and ensure the intake and exhaust vents are unobstructed. Position the unit centrally within the space for even air circulation.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter every two weeks, checking the water tank and emptying it as needed, and inspecting the continuous drainage hose for blockages. Periodically wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to keep it clean.
