Whole Home Dehumidication

The Healthy Climate® Dehumidier controls the humidity level in your entire home. A powerful blower inside the dehumidier

draws air into the cabinet, lters the air and removes moisture, then discharges the dry air into the HVAC system or

dedicated area of the home. Inside the cabinet, a sealed refrigeration system removes moisture by moving the air through

a series of tubes and ns that are kept colder than the dew point of the incoming air. The dew point is the temperature at

which moisture in the air will condense, much like what occurs on the outside of a cold glass on a hot summer day. The

condensed moisture drips into the dehumidier drain pan to a drain tube routed to the nearest oor drain or condensate

pump. After the moisture is removed, the air moves through a second coil where it is reheated before being sent back into

the home. The air leaving the dehumidier will be warmer and drier than the air entering the dehumidier.

Setting the Desired Humidity Level

The dehumidier on-board control will display the humidity

setting when not running, and displays the measured

humidity when running.

How Does the Dehumidier Work?

Once per hour the dehumidier will measure the humidity

level of the air and compare it to the humidity setting. If

the humidity in your home is higher than the setting, the

dehumidier will dehumidify the air until the humidity level

drops below the setting.

When the dehumidier turns on, the blower circulates the

air for 3 minutes. The on-board control will display AIR

SAMPLING, along with the measured humidity on the

control screen. At the end of this 3 minutes, the measured

humidity level of the air is compared to the humidity setting.

If the humidity of the air is higher than the setting,

the compressor turns on and the control will display

DEHUMIDIFYING, along with the measured humidity on

the control screen.

OPTIONAL – HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM

BLOWER OPERATION

Your installing contractor may have configured the

dehumidier to turn on the heating and cooling system

blower when the dehumidier turns on to allow for improved

circulation of the dry air.

The UP and DOWN arrow buttons allow the humidity level

to be set from 40% to 80% relative humidity. Use the ON/

OFF button to turn the dehumidier ON or OFF.

Set the control at 55%RH when rst installed. Allow the

dehumidifier to run until it reaches the setting before

deciding if you want to change the setting.

• If you prefer the air to be more dry, decrease the

humidity setting.

• If you prefer the air to be less dry, increase the humidity

setting.

Your comfort is the best measure of how to adjust your

setting. When rst installed, your dehumidier has to remove

all the moisture that is initially in your home. The home

acts like a sponge so the moisture in the materials of your

home is at the same level as the air. After drying the air,

the materials of the home will release moisture back into

the air until they are again at the same level. As a result, it

is common for the dehumidier to operate for an extended

period when rst installed.

ENERGY SAVINGS TIPS

Energy Savings Tip #1: Adjust the humidity setting to be as

high as is comfortable to reduce dehumidier run time. If it

feels clammy or “smells musty”, lower the humidity setting.

To save energy, turn the dehumidier to OFF when you

open your windows, just as you would with air conditioning.

Energy Savings Tip #2: If vacating your home for an

extended period in the summer, set the RH at 55% and set

your thermostat as high as you are comfortable setting it to

in the cooling mode. Consult with appropriate professionals

regarding the highest temperature that is safe for your pets

or possessions. This will keep the humidity at a controlled

level while minimizing the amount of cooling energy used.

External Control Options

Your dehumidier can be controlled with an iComfort®

Thermostat, a ComfortSense® Thermostat, or an optional

external control that is conveniently located in the living

space. The iComfort® or ComfortSense® Thermostat can

be used to control your whole home dehumidier by using

the dehumidication features in the thermostat. The Y6456

is a dedicated dehumidier control.

The Y6456 can also act as a remote control if the

dehumidier is located in a crawl space. Install the Y6456

in your living space and make changes to the dehumidier

setting or nd out what the humidity level is in the crawl

space from the comfort and convenience of the living space.

When an external control is installed, please refer to the

owner’s manuals for operating instructions.

If you are interested in having an external control installed,

please consult your installing contractor.

How Does the Optional Ventilation Work?

If you had your contractor install the optional ventilation

feature, they calculated how much fresh air was needed

based on various factors (i.e. home size, number of

occupants, local building codes, etc.). Knowing how much

is needed and the rate at which fresh air will be brought into

your home, the contractor set up the dehumidier control

to operate ventilation a certain amount of time per hour to

provide the needed fresh air. When ventilation operates, a

damper in a duct that brings air in from the outside opens,

and your heating and cooling system blower will run to

distribute the fresh air.

If you need to change the amount of time to operate

ventilation, press the MODE button twice to display the

ventilation time setting. Use the UP or DOWN button to

adjust the number of minutes per hour (0–60, set to zero

to turn it off) that ventilation is to run. The control will return

to the dehumidier setting display automatically.

Maintenance – Model HCWHD4-080 and

HCWHD4-100

CLEAN OR REPLACE THE AIR FILTER

After initial installation the air lter should be checked and

cleaned every 6 months. The CLEAN FILTER service

reminder will display on the on-board control screen every

6 months. To clear the service message, press the UP and

DOWN arrows simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Filter Cleaning Procedure

1. Turn the ON/OFF switch OFF.

2. Remove the lter access door from either side of the

dehumidier.

3. Slide the lter out of the dehumidier.

4. Flush the lter with warm water and a mild detergent

solution.

5. Shake off the excess water from the lter.

6. Replace the lter, making sure the lter is secured in

both the top and bottom lter rails.

7. Replace the lter access door.

8. Turn the ON/OFF switch ON.

9. Press the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for 3

seconds to clear the service message.

DRAIN AND DRAIN INSERT INSPECTION

The drain and drain insert should be checked annually

to ensure there are no blockages or air lock in the drain

system.

IMPORTANT

The drain insert is a critical feature of the dehumidier

drain management system. This component is required

for the dehumidier to run properly. If the drain insert

is not installed, you will not be able to reinstall the air

lter. The air lter is equipped with a safety mechanism

that prevents you from fully inserting the lter without

the drain insert installed.

WARNING

Running the dehumidier without the drain insert can

lead to condensate leaks.

REINSTALLING THE DRAIN INSERT

1. Reinstall the drain insert by inserting your forenger

into the nger loop and grasping the outer edge of the

nger loop your thumb.

2. Gently insert the drain insert tip into the drain opening

and tilting the cover downwards into place.

3. Insure the drain insert is seated properly by checking

the top surface of the drain cover is the same surface

height as the lter guide channel.

4. Turn the ON/OFF switch ON.

5. At the UI control, select the ON/OFF button and switch

to ON mode.

CAUTION

Do not use spray solvents or cleaners on or near the

inlet side of the dehumidier. If desired, apply cleaner

to a cloth and use to clean the cabinet.

drain insert.

4. Locate the drain insert which is located over the drain

opening.

5. Remove the drain insert by hooking your nger into

the nger loop and gently lifting the cover up and out

of the drain pan.

6. Clean the drain insert with warm water and mild

detergent solution.
