This appliance is for domestic use only. Any other use is considered unsuitable and dangerous. In case of breakdown or malfunctioning, switch off the appliance. Do not attempt to repair it. If any repairs are necessary, they must only be made by a Technical Assistance Service authorised by the manufacturer. Insist on the use of original spare parts. Failure to comply with these points could be a safety hazard. The user must not replace the cable. If it is damaged or needs replacing, this must only be done by a Technical Assistance Service authorised by the manufacturer. Do not use the appliance if the cable or plug are damaged. The manufacturer holds no liability for any damages arising from unsuitable or improper use of the appliance or from repairs carried out by non-qualified personnel. IMPORTANT: Never for any reason cover the appliance during operation as this could lead to dangerous overheating. PARTICULARLY:

• Important: This appliance must not be used near baths, showers, sinks, etc.
• Do not install the appliance close to

4. CONTROL PANEL (6) (FIG. 1)

sources of heat, or in spaces where the air may contain gases, oil or sulphur, or in areas exposed to radiation. Do not spill any water or flammable liquids on the appliance. Do not handle the appliance with wet hands. Do not switch the appliance on and off by plugging it in and unplugging it. Altering or modifying the appliance’s functional characteristics could be dangerous. Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving it, and before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance. Never pull on the cable to remove the plug. Do not place any heavy or hot objects on the appliance. Do not allow children to handle or play with the appliance. Do not push any objects through the air inlet/outlet grilles as this could be dangerous when the fan is running at high speed. Do not cover the air inlet/outlet grilles. Do not use the appliance in narrow, sealed rooms. 6.1. I/O switch: for switching the dehumidifier on and off. 6.2. Timer: for the appliance to function during a certain interval of time, press this button to select an interval from 1 to 9 hours of functioning. The dehumidifier will stop when the selected time has elapsed. Time periods shorter than 1 hour cannot be selected. 6.3. Speed selector: the appliance fan has two functioning speeds, high and low. Press this button to select the speed, either "HIGH" or "LOW". 6.4. %R.H. selector: this button is for selecting the desired percentage of relative humidity in the room (section

6. 6). Each time this button is pressed

the selection will move on to a different setting according to the following sequence: 65%

6.5. Function selector: the dehumidifier has four functions, which are explained in section 5 (a, b, c and d). Each time this button is pressed the selection will move on to a different setting according to the following sequence: Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface. Close the doors and windows of the room in which the appliance is to be used. The temperature in the room in which the appliance is to be used must be between 5ºC and 35ºC. If the temperature exceeds these limits the compressor will stop working. If the ambient temperature is lower than 5º C, the absolute humidity will be very low and it will therefore not be necessary to use the dehumidifier. When the appliance stops, wait around 5 minutes before starting it up again. Do not place any objects or pour any liquids into the water tank.

5. ICONS SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY

(FIG. 2) (low speed)

i) The relative humidity percentage appears

on the display (%R.H.) FUNCTIONS a) The appliance will dehumidify the air when the ambient humidity is higher than 54% RH. If the ambient humidity is lower than this, the appliance will only clean the air.

(1) Plug in the appliance, and press on the air outlet grille (7) to turn it to the desired direction (FIG. 7) b) (continuous dehumidification).- The appliance will dehumidify the air continually, regardless of whether the ambient humidity is high or low. (2) Press the button. The dehumidifier is supplied with the following parameters selected by default: c) The appliance will only clean the air. It will not dehumidify it. d) This function is for selecting the desired relative humidity. If you wish to change the selection, proceed as follows: INDICATORS (3) Select the fan speed with button 6.3.: e) When the tank is full, this indicator will flash, three beeps will sound and the dehumidifier will switch off. (high speed) (low speed) f) If this indication appears on the display, the dehumidifier is on defrost function. The user does not need to regulate this function, as the appliance will automatically go on to dehumidification after a few minutes. The compressor will switch off, the fan will continue to function, and the indicator will remain on. (4) You may select a determined time interval using the timer (6.6). (5) Press the button to choose the desired function: FUZZY, CONTINUING, AIR CLEAN or SETTING. (6) If you have chosen the SETTING, function, choose the desired relative humidity using the button. For example: if you select 70%, this means the air will be dehumidified until it reaches a percentage of 70%. The appliance will automatically switch off if the humidity is lower than 70% (the compressor will switch off, but the fan will continue functioning). The appliance will switch on again when the humidity exceeds 70%. The same process g) The time selected with the timer appears on the display. h) The dehumidifier speed appears on the display:

8. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

(7) To switch off the appliance, press the button. The ambient humidity will flash on the display. Caution: If the "Defrost" function appears when the appliance is switched on and it is not possible to select another function, switch the unit off by pressing the on/off button and unplug the device. Then switch it back on again. Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft damp cloth. Do not use water, solvents or similar substances to clean the appliance. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. AIR FILTER (5) The air filter is located behind the air inlet grille. It should be cleaned every two weeks. To clean the filter, proceed as follows:

CONDENSATION WATER WATER TANK If the water tank (4) is full or if it has not been correctly fitted to the appliance, the "WATER FULL" indicator will appear on the display and the dehumidifier will automatically switch off.

Before removing the filter from its housing, first drain the water tank (FIG. 3).

To remove the filter from its housing, slide it downwards (FIG. 4). The dirt accumulated in the filter can be vacuumed out. If the filter is very dirty, it may be washed in warm water. Rinse it and wait until it is completely dry before replacing it in its housing. To drain the water tank, remove it from the appliance as shown in FIG. 3. The water tank can be lifted up and carried by its handle, located on the back of the tank. Carefully fit the water tank to the appliance again, making sure the "WATER FULL" indicator switches off. NOTE: do not expose the filter to the sun as it could warp. On fitting the new filter, check the arrows are pointing towards you. Then insert the new filter and slide it upwards until it correctly fits into place.

CONNECTION FOR CONTINUOUS

DRAINAGE The condensation water can be run off to a drain outlet down a drain tube connected to the condensation water outlet. The procedure for this is as follows: a. Remove the water tank (FIG. 3) b. Open the continuous drainage hole (9) with a sharp object (FIG. 5). c. Insert the end of the plastic tube through this hole and adjust it to the condensation water outlet hole (FIG. 6). Run the other end of the tube to a drain outlet. d. Lastly, fit the water tank back into position (the "WATER FULL" " indicator will switch off). CHARCOAL FILTER (5.3.) The charcoal filter (included) can be mounted optionally. If you wish to mount this filter, follow the instructions shown in FIG.4. This filter is fitted between the nylon filter (5.2) and the nylon support (5.1). Warnings:

1) Take the filter out of its plastic bag before

2) The charcoal filter should be replaced

3) The charcoal filter is not washable. It

needs to be replaced by a new one.

DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND
