The Dri-Eaz i-Series dehumidifier touchpad provides these valuable features. Time-saving GPP calculations. Inlet and outlet temperature and relative humidity readings. (No need to wait for a hydrometer to acclimate.) Maintenance prompts for coils and filters. Language and temperature mode selection. And lifetime and job operating hours.

When you press the power button the unit will display "Please wait comp. delay," and perform a countdown to zero. This allows time for the refrigerant pressures to equalize. If the unit is ready the machine will start up without the delay message. After you power the dehu up and it has completed any countdown, the first line of the display shows job operating hours, and the second line alternates between inlet temperature and relative humidity.

First, let's review the buttons. Use the menu button to move through the various user options and also to accept a change like a setting or language. Use the arrow keys to change a value. One important tip: only the menu settings that include an arrow sign can be changed or reset, such as job hours or the humidistat. Use the pump purge button to empty any water left in the pump reservoir after use. You can reset the job hours at menu item number 1. The power interrupt indicates that the power went off while in use.

The next screen provides valuable at-a-glance readings for documenting the inlet and outlet temperature and relative humidity. Want a quick way to find out grain depression? The unit uses temperature and relative humidity readings to automatically calculate GPP on screen number 3. Default readings are in Fahrenheit. To change to Celsius, advance to screen number 9 and select the desired scale. At screen number 6 you can see if the humidistat option is off or on. For maximum dehumidification, turn the humidistat off. To maintain a target humidity level, turn the humidistat on, advance to screen number 7, then cycle to 90% in 5% increments. Screen number 8 lets you change the display language from English to Spanish, French, or German. When you choose any language other than English the system automatically switches to Celsius. Once you've selected the display language, you can go to screen number 9 to change the display back to Fahrenheit if preferred.

The system tells you how many hours the unit has been operating since the filter was last checked. You can reset the hour counter after you change or check the filter by pressing the arrow key from this screen. You can also track hours of use since the coils were cleaned. Again, you can reset it after cleaning the coils by pressing the arrow. If you need to check the dehu's life hours, go to menu number 13.

Here's another helpful feature: if the system detects an operating error, it will produce an ER message. If this occurs, write down the error number then unplug the unit and plug it back in. Often this resets the electronics, and the unit will operate normally. If the error message reappears, refer to the error message section of the product manual. If you don't have the manual, you can find it on our Legends Brands Restoration website in the document tabs on the product page. You'll probably only use screens 10, 11, and 12 if the unit requires service. These screens identify the version of compressor and firmware for troubleshooting. You may be asked to provide these values to a service technician.

Another good thing to know: when the dehumidifier displays "Defrost," the number shown indicates the seconds left for the cycle. See the product manual for defrost cycle and proper shutdown procedures. They help reduce the possibility of drips when moving the unit.

If you still have questions, call us or an authorized service center. There's someone who can help.
