Thank you for choosing Meaco Thank you for choosing Meaco, we really appreciate it. After the success of the Arete® One range, we’ve built Arete® Two: a range of combined dehumidifiers and air purifiers for customers who want even more control over the humidity in their home. We took the time to design a dehumidifier that blends into your home without compromising on its performance.
If these areas become wet for any reason, thoroughly dry them before using the dehumidifier. If in doubt, do not use the dehumidifier and consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer. Domestic use only: This dehumidifier is designed for domestic use only and should not be used in commercial environments.

Dehumidifying your house Your dehumidifier can be used to maintain an optimum humidity level throughout your house or flat. Moisture in the air from the entire house/flat will migrate towards the dehumidifier, reducing the humidity level. When doing so, we would recommend the following: •...
Operation When the dehumidifier is first plugged into the mains it will beep once, the power and timer button will light up. • All buttons on the control panel only require a short press: press the buttons firmly and quickly. •...

If the humidity level has increased more than 3% above the target, the compressor will turn on and the dehumidifier will start to run again – the dehumidifying indicator will be solid. If the humidity level is within 3% of the target, the dehumidifier will go back to sleep and check the humidity level in another 30 minutes.

Night Mode: Press the Night Mode / child lock button once to enter Night Mode. The fan speed will be reduced to low (only if it is currently in high); the buttons will not beep when pressed and all lights on the display will turn off (the Night Mode indicator will turn off 3 seconds later than the rest of the display).
Water tank The dehumidifier can be used to collect water in one of two ways: via the water tank or via continuous drainage. For more information on how to use continuous drainage, see page 15. When the water tank is full and requires emptying, the dehumidifier will turn off, beep five times (except in Night Mode) and the water tank full indicator will light up on the chase display.
Continuous drainage Continuous drainage can be used to drain water from the dehumidifier without having to empty the water tank. This is ideal for customers who wish to leave their dehumidifier unattended in garages or second homes. The right-angle adaptor required can be found in the lid of the water tank. This adaptor has been designed to fit a standard garden hose (ID: 12.5mm).

Remove the water tank Remove the right-angle adaptor from the water tank lid and push it onto the spout. The spout is where water drips out of the dehumidifier and is located on the left-hand side. Attach the hose to the spout. Insert the water tank back into the dehumidifier.
Maintenance To ensure your dehumidifier is always performing at its best, it’s important to regularly clean it. • Always unplug your dehumidifier from the mains before cleaning. • Do not allow the dehumidifier to get wet. Cleaning the exterior Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the dehumidifier is extremely dirty, use a slightly damp cloth. Never spray the device with water.

• To insert/replace the H13 HEPA filter, place it inside the combined filter case and dust filter, then slide the combined filter case and dust filter into the dehumidifier. • Replacement H13 HEPA filters can be purchased from meaco.com.
