HOW IT WORKS  
Your AMCOR dehumidifier draws air through a multi stage high efficiency washable  
filter onto a refrigerated cold coil. As the air in the room passes over the cold  
surface, moisture condenses and collects into a removable water tank. The drier,  
slightly warmer air is then expelled through the air outlet located behind the control  
panel of the unit into the room.  
When the water tank is full, a micro-switch automatically stops the unit and an  
indicator light signals the need to empty the tank.  
If preferred a continuous drainage hose connected into the back of the unit can be  
used to drain the water.  
The dehumidifier fights condensation, mould and dampness throughout the house.  
It protects your furniture, precious possessions and decor from the damaging  
effects of excessive moisture.  
The combination of air purifier and dehumidifier may aid in relieving some medical  
conditions such as arthritis and allergies linked to high humidity and airborne  
allergens by removing excess moisture, dust, smoke, animal dander, mould spores  
and pollen to create a less irritating living environment for your enjoyment.  
The air is cleaned both when the dehumidifier is operating and also independently  
of the dehumidifier when the air purifier mode is selected.  
Your dehumidifier is also great for drying the laundry!

PLACEMENT  
Your AMCOR dehumidifier will begin to protect your home from the harmful effects  
of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on.  
Excess moisture travels throughout your home, in the same way that cooking  
smells spread to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier  
should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this moist  
air towards it from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent  
position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air  
circulation.  
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning  
the dehumidifier there and later moving it to a more central point.  
For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors and windows  
kept closed when the dehumidifier is operating.  
Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a radiator or other heat  
source.  
When positioning your AMCOR dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed securely on a  
level surface clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement.  
Your AMCOR dehumidifier is fitted with 4 wheels for easy movement.  
Before you move the unit, switch it off and empty the water tank.

AIR PURIFYING  
Your dehumidifier is fitted with a high definition multi-stage air purification system.  
Stage one  
A preliminary washable dust filter. The filter absorbs irritating odours such as that  
from mould, stale cigar smoke, or vehicle fumes so they are not recirculated into  
the cleaner air.  
Stage two  
An activated carbon odour absorbent filter.  
Stage three (optional)  
An optional 3M HAF filter or a TiO2 filter for purifying the air from bacteria.  
Remember  
You can use the air purifier function even when dehumidification is not needed.  
Simply press the UV push button and set the humidity level to 80%.  
For details on cleaning the filter see the section of maintenance.

MAINTENANCE  
Always unplug the unit from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning the unit.  
Cleaning the body  
Use only a soft cloth to wipe the unit clean.  
Do not use volatile chemicals, petrol, detergents, chemically treated cloths or other  
harmful cleansing solutions. These could all possibly damage the cabinet.  
Cleaning the washable air filter  
This dehumidifier is equipped with a washable filter. This will capture most airborne  
pollutants like dust, smoke, animal dander, mould spores and pollen to create a less  
irritating living environment.  
It is advisable to check the filter on a regular basis (at least monthly and after storage)  
and clean as necessary:  
• Extract the filter holder  
• Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly.  
If the filter is particularly dirty, use luke-warm water with a small amount of medium  
strength detergent and rinse thoroughly under the cold water tap.  
Make sure the filter is completely dry before replacing.  
Do not expose the filter to sunlight or other sources of direct heat as this may cause  
the filter and frame to warp.  
Cleaning and replacing the carbon filter.  
The carbon filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, never rinse it with water. We  
suggest to replace the carbon filter every 6 months.  
Optional filters  
3MHAF filter  
PCO – Photo Catalytic Oxidation (optional)  
TiO2 filter is included in the multi air filter. Bacteria carried by the air are being killed  
by the TiO2 filter.  
STORAGE  
If the dehumidifier is not used for long periods of time, follow these steps:  
• disconnect the unit and wrap the power cable.  
• if used, empty the water container, remove the scent emitter .  
• clean the unit and filter, pack it in its original packaging or cover to protect  
against dust.
