STORING THE APPLIANCE

- If the appliance is not going to be used for a long time, it is important to ensure that the built-in water tank is empty, and to remove the rubber plug from the outflow to ensure that no water is left in the appliance. - Clean the air filter and refit it. - Cover the appliance and store it in a dry place.

DISPOSING OF THE APPLIANCE

The appliance contains a certain amount of coolants, and when the appliance is going to be scrapped, it should be taken to the local recycling station which can dispose of such materials.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE UNIT! Transportable dehumidifiers are ideal for the home and office. They improve the indoor climate, leading to a healthy environment. Dehumidifiers prevent mould and fungus while keeping the relative air humidity low, which ensures unfavourable conditions for dust mites. GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEHUMIDIFIERS: You may only see water in the water tank after approximately 8 days of using the dehumidifier for the following reasons:

• after transportation, the fuel in the dehumidifier needs time to ‘settle’.
• the built-in hygrostat needs time to determine the relative humidity of the room.
• there is a pipe linked to the permanent drain that must be filled up with water (happens automatically) before the water begins to drip down into the water tank. The air dehumidifier is suitable for dehumidifying a room of up to 75m2. However, this depends on the ambient temperature and the relative humidity. The effect of the air dehumidifier is higher at a combination of high temperature and high air humidity. A relative humidity of around 50% and below is recommended for living areas. FUNCTIONS The appliance can run in either “Stand-Alone Mode”, where all humidity is removed from the surrounding air and collected in the built-in water tank in the appliance, or “Continuous Draining Mode”, where the water is removed from the air and led to an external drain via the built-in outflow using the attached plastic hose.

STAND-ALONE MODE Here, the rubber plug is placed in the outlet pipe on the back of the appliance, and all humidity is removed from the air and collected in the built-in water tank. When the tank is full, the light on the control panel comes on , the appliance switches off and also emits a short beep to show that the water tank is full. Once this happens, the water tank must be removed and emptied. When the empty tank is replaced, the dehumidifier starts again automatically.

CONTINUOUS DRAINING MODE

Here, the rubber plug is removed from the outflow pipe on the back of the appliance and one end of the accompanying transparent, flexible plastic pipe is pushed over the outflow pipe. (The rubber plug can be pushed over the protruding tap above the outflow pipe to avoid it getting lost). The other end of the plastic pipe is led downwards to a place where the humidity can drain away continuously. As a result, water does not collect in the built-in tank, and the visual and acoustic signals indicating that the built-in water tank is full do not function. The appliance runs continuously when used in this manner.

Using the “Stand-Alone” function, humidity is removed from the air and collected in the built-in water tank. When the tank is full, the light on the control panel comes on, the appliance switches off and also emits a short beep to show that the water tank is full. When this happens, the water tank must be removed and emptied. Once the empty tank is replaced, the dehumidifier starts again automatically. The tank should be placed back in place for the appliance to run. DIGITAL DISPLAY 1. Connect the appliance to the power supply. Switch on using the “ON/OFF” button (2-3 seconds). The equipment starts in LOW position (energy saving). The current room temperature and air humidity are shown in the electronic display. This is also the setting for continued dehumidification. Then:

2. Press “ON/OFF” once: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 40%

3. Press “ON/OFF” twice: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 50%

4. Press “ON/OFF” three times: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 60%

5. Press “ON/OFF” four times: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 70%

6. Press “ON/OFF” five times: HIGH speed (maximum) dehumidification level is activated. The current room temperature and air humidity are shown in the electronic display. This is also the setting for continuous dehumidification.

7. Press “ON/OFF” six times: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 40%

8. Press “ON/OFF” seven times: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 50%

9. Press “ON/OFF” eight times: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 60%

10. Press “ON/OFF” nine times: The appliance shuts down when the relative humidity is lower than 70%

11. Press “ON/OFF” ten times: the dehumidifier returns to the start setting, which is the lowest setting for

dehumidification (energy saving function). Then repeat the process above. The display shows the temperature in the room (a), the relative humidity (b) and the relative humidity by which the appliance will shut down (c).

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

1. The air filter must be cleaned regularly. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount of dust, but

under normal circumstances it is suggested that cleaning be undertaken after 100 hours of operation and more often in very dusty conditions.

2. Switch off the appliance and remove the cord from the socket.

3. Access to the air filter is gained by removing the cover to the air intake on the side of the appliance. This is

done by removing the cover horizontally from the appliance.

4. The air filter can now be removed by pressing down the 2 pins on top of the filter and twisting the filter

top off before the filter is removed.

5. The filter should be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or rinsed under running water. It should then be left to

dry in a location with good ventilation. Avoid using alcoholic detergents to clean the filter.

6. Replace the filter by pushing the bottom part in behind the protruding parts and turning the top part in

place so the pins click in place. Replace the cover of the air intake on the appliance.

7. The appliance can now be connected to the socket and operated in the normal way.
