Frequently Asked Questions - D8 ZIBRO

What to do if the appliance does not work?

Check that the appliance is powered and plugged into a grounded outlet. Make sure the WATER FULL indicator is not lit (tank full or incorrectly positioned). Check the hygrostat adjustment: if it is too low, turn it to a higher position.

Why is there water leaking outside the tank?

This can happen if the appliance has operated at a temperature below 4°C or if you removed the tank immediately after stopping. Wait a few minutes for the water to completely drain into the tank before emptying it.

The moisture absorption is reduced, what to do?

Check the hygrostat setting: if it is too low, increase it. If the air is already dry, lower it. Make sure the ambient temperature is above 4°C, as dehumidification is less effective in cold weather.

The appliance does not collect water, why?

Check that the WATER FULL indicator is not lit (tank full or incorrectly placed). If the hygrostat is set too low, turn it to MAX to force operation. If the room is already dry, set it to a lower position.

How to use the continuous drainage hose?

Remove the tank, engage the supplied plastic selector to the drainage position, insert a hose (not supplied) and connect the other end to a slightly sloped drain. Make sure the hose does not freeze in very cold weather.

What is the minimum operating temperature?

The appliance should not be used if the ambient temperature is below 4°C. Below that, dehumidification is ineffective and leaks may occur.

How to clean the dehumidifier?

Unplug the appliance before any cleaning. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth. Never spray water or immerse the appliance. The filter should be checked regularly and cleaned if necessary.

What to do if the WATER FULL indicator stays on?

Empty the tank and replace it correctly. Make sure it is properly engaged. If the indicator stays on, the tank may be incorrectly positioned or the microswitch is stuck.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, it is forbidden to use an extension cord for safety reasons. If the power outlet is too far, have a qualified electrician install a suitable outlet.

How to benefit from the warranty?

The 24-month warranty covers manufacturing and material defects. To apply it, keep the original dated proof of purchase. Repairs must be carried out by an authorized technician; any unauthorized service voids the warranty.

A SAFETY

• This appliance must be earthed and should only be connected to an earthed 230 V / 50 Hz mains. The installation must be in accordance with the regulations of the country where the unit is used.
  The unit is designated for indoor operation.
• The dehumidifier is safe. It has been approved by many safety institutions around the world. However, as with other electrical appliance, use it with care.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not clean the dehumidifier by spraying it or immersing it in water.
• Do not insert any object into the opening of the dehumidifier.
• Disconnect from the mains before cleaning the unit or any of its components.
• Never connect to an electrical outlet using an extension cord. If an outlet is not available, one should be installed by a licenced electrician.
• Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement should be performed by an authorized service representative. Failure to do so could result in loss of warranty.

WARNING

• This unit should not be used at temperatures below 4°C .

B HOW IT WORKS

Your Zibro Clima dehumidifier draws in air through the front panel onto a refrigerated cold grill. As the air passes over a cold surface, moisture condenses and collects into a front loading removable high capacity 5-litre water container. The drier, slightly warmer air is then expelled back into the room through the front upper grill. The Zibro Clima dehumidifier fights condensation, mould and dampness throughout the house. – And is also great for drying the laundry! Save energy: did you know it takes less heat to warm dry air than damp humid air!

C POSITIONING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

The first time that you use this dehumidifier please ensure that it has been standing for 24 hours in an upright position before it is switched on.

Your Zibro Clima dehumidifier will begin to protect your home from the harmful effects of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on. Excessive moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells spread to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this moist air from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors partly open. Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point. Do not place directly against a radiator or other heat source.

For the most efficient use, outside doors and windows should be kept closed when the dehumidifier is operating.

When positioning your Zibro Clima dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement.

If you move the unit, it should first be switched off and the water tank emptied.

D CONTROLS

ON/OFF

Turn the knob (III) clockwise to switch the unit on and to select the humidity control level. The unit is switched off by turning the knob all the way anticlockwise.

Humidity Control HUMISTAT

Turn the humidistat control knob (III) clockwise to maximum setting. The dehumidifier will switch on and run continuously. When a comfortable level of humidity is reached, turn the knob slowly anti-clockwise until the unit switches off. The dehumidifier will now automatically maintain the humidity at this level.

Fan Speed Control

The dehumidifier features a two speed fan control. When the unit is switched on, the fan will start running in low speed. Select the desired speed with this switch.

WATER FULL indicator

When the water container is full, the WATER FULL indicator light will illuminate and the unit will automatically shut off. It will also beep several times to advise you hat the tank is full. See instructions for emptying the water container. The WATER FULL indicator light will also illuminate and the unit will beep if the water container has not been properly inserted or if it has been removed.

IMPORTANT

Remember not to use this dehumidifier in temperatures below 4°C .

E EMPTYING THE WATER CONTAINER

When the water container is full the WATER FULL indicator light (I) will illuminate and the unit will automatically shut off. Wait a few minutes to allow the water to finish draining into the water container.

To remove the water container, disconnect from the mains, pull out and lift the water container by the handle and carry it away for emptying. Gently replace the container and close the lower front panel. When the tank is properly inserted, both the hole and the float mechanism in the container will be located directly beneath the drainage spout and the WATER FULL indicator light(I) will go out.

It may be more convenient to set up the dehumidifier for continuous drainage with the following procedure:

• Remove the water container from the unit;
• Click the supplied spout (the long end depressing the microswitch) firmly in place;
• Place an appropriately sized drainage pipe over the spout inside the housing;

• Place the other end of the pipe in a drain, ensuring that:

• it is not twisted, folded, or otherwise likely to obstruct the water flow,

• the spout is not under the water level of the drain;
  There must be a gradual downward slope from the spout to the drain.

NOTE

In very cold weather conditions precautions should be taken to prevent the drainage pipe from freezing.

To return to water container use, take the spout out and replace the water container.

G CLEANING

Disconnect from the mains power supply.

Clean regularly with a common, non abrasive, household detergent, without solvents.
