Frequently Asked Questions - Bigdry 10000 Expert Connected CECOTEC

How do I use the laundry drying mode on the Cecotec BigDry 10000 Expert Connected?

Press the MODES button until the CLOTH indicator lights up. The device will continue to dehumidify regardless of humidity level, and the fan runs at full power. This mode is ideal for drying clothes indoors.

What does the "CO" mode mean on the dehumidifier?

"CO" stands for continuous dehumidification mode. The appliance operates continuously regardless of the ambient humidity level until the tank is full or the unit is turned off.

How can I set the timer to turn the dehumidifier on or off?

Press the TIMER icon. While the device is ON, it sets the off time; while OFF, it sets the on time. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to adjust from 01 to 24 hours. The display shows the set time, then returns to humidity after 5 seconds.

How do I activate Wi-Fi and connect the dehumidifier to the app?

Press and hold the Wi-Fi icon for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode. The light will blink until a successful connection is made. Download the Cecotec app and follow the instructions to configure the appliance remotely.

What should I do when the water tank is full?

The FULL indicator lights up, the compressor stops, and the unit beeps 15 times. Gently remove the tank, empty the water, and reinstall it properly. The appliance will resume operation after a 3-minute protection delay.

How do I set up continuous drainage?

Insert a plastic pipe (inner diameter 10 mm) into the drain hole on the side of the water tank, guide it out, and place the other end over a drain. The appliance will then continuously expel condensed water instead of filling the tank.

How do I clean the filter?

Remove the filter grille from the back, vacuum or wash it with warm water and a non-abrasive detergent if very dirty, dry thoroughly, and snap it back into place. Clean the filter regularly to maintain performance.

What is the Auto Comfort ("AU") mode?

In AU mode, the dehumidifier automatically adjusts the target humidity based on room temperature: 60% below 20°C, 55% between 20-27°C, and 50% above 27°C. It stops if the temperature falls below 5°C.

What does the defrost mode do?

When ice accumulates on the coils, the DEF indicator lights up. The compressor switches off and the fan runs at full power to melt frost. The control circuit automatically manages defrost cycles depending on temperature.

What do I do if the display shows error code E1?

Error E1 indicates a short circuit or fault in the temperature or humidity sensor. Turn off the appliance and contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service for repair.

1. Service information

1.1 Area verification

Before starting work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. Before repairing the cooling system, the following precautions must be observed:

1.2. Work procedure

The work must be carried out in accordance with a controlled procedure to minimise the risk of a flammable vapour or gas being present while the work is being carried out.

1.3. General workspace

All maintenance personnel and others working in the area of the site should be briefed on the nature of the work to be carried out. Work in enclosed spaces must be avoided. The area around the workspace should be divided into sections. Ensure that conditions within the workspace are safe by keeping flammable material under control.

1.4. Refrigerant verification

The area should be checked with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work to ensure that the technician is warned of potentially flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the leak-detection equipment used is suitable for use with flammable refrigerants, i.e., non-sparking, adequately sealed, or intrinsically safe.

1.5. Presence of fire extinguishers

If any high-temperature work is to be carried out on the refrigeration equipment or any associated parts, suitable extinguishing equipment must be available. Always have a dry-powder or CO2 fire extinguisher nearby the load area.

1.6. Absence of ignition sources

No person carrying out work related to a refrigeration system involving the exposure of piping containing or having contained flammable refrigerant should use any source of ignition in such a manner as to create a risk of fire or explosion. All possible sources of ignition, including cigarette smoking, should be kept far enough away from the installation, repair, pick-up, and disposal site, where flammable refrigerant can be released into the surrounding space. Before work starts, the area around the equipment must be thoroughly examined to ensure that no danger or risk of ignition is present. “No Smoking” signs must be displayed.

1.7. Ventilation

Ensure that the area is outdoors or adequately ventilated before intervening in the system or carrying out any work at high temperature. Proper ventilation must be kept at all times during work. Ventilation should safely disperse any refrigerant released and preferably expel it externally to the atmosphere.

1.8. Verification of refrigeration equipment

When electrical components are replaced, they must be fit for purpose and to the correct specification. The manufacturer's maintenance and service guidelines must be followed at all times. In case of doubt, refer to the manufacturer's technical department for assistance. The following checks must be applied to installations using flammable refrigerants:

• The load size is in accordance with the size of the room where refrigerant-containing parts are installed.
• Ventilation machinery and outlets can be properly operated and are unobstructed.

ENGLISH

• If an indirect cooling circuit is used, the secondary circuit must be checked for refrigerant presence.
• Equipment marking remains visible and legible. Illegible markings and symbols should be corrected.
• The components or refrigerant piping are installed in a position where they are not susceptible to exposure to any substance that may corrode the refrigerant-containing components, unless the components are made of materials that are inherently resistant to corrosion or are properly protected against it.

1.9. Verification of electrical devices

Repair and maintenance of electrical components should include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If there is a fault that may compromise safety, then no power supply should be connected to the circuit until the fault is satisfactorily dealt with. If the fault cannot be corrected immediately, but continued operation is necessary, a suitable temporary solution must be used. This should be reported to the owner of the equipment so as to inform all parties.

During initial safety checks, make sure:

• that capacitors are unloaded—this must be done in a safe manner to avoid sparks.
• that no live wiring or electrical components are exposed while loading, recovering, or purging the system.
• that there is continuity in the earth connection.

2. Repair of sealed components

• During the repair of sealed components, all power supplies should be disconnected from the equipment being worked on prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have a power supply to the equipment during service, then a permanently operating form of leak detection should be placed at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
• Particular attention must be paid to the following to ensure that, when working on electrical components, the housing is not altered in such a way as to affect safety. This must include damage to cords, an excessive number of connections, terminals not conforming to the initial specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of the stuffing box, etc.
• Ensure that the instrumentation is securely mounted.
• Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded until no longer being useful to preventing the penetration of flammable atmospheres. Spare parts must be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

NOTE: the use of silicone sealant may inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak-detection equipment. Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated before work.

3. Repair of intrinsically safe components

• Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitive load to the circuit without ensuring that it will not exceed the permissible voltage and current rating for the equipment in use.
• Intrinsically safe components are the only type of components that can be worked on in a flammable atmosphere. The test instrumentation must have the correct assigned features.
• Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts can ignite the refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.

4. Wiring

Verify that the wiring is not subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or any other environmental effects. The verification should also take into account the effects of ageing or continuous vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.

5. Detection of flammable refrigerants

Under no circumstances should potential ignition sources be used in the search for or detection of refrigerant leaks. Do not use a halide lamp or any other detector using a naked flame.

6. Leak-detection methods

• The following leak-detection methods are considered acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants.
• Electronic leak detectors should be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but the sensitivity may not be adequate, or may need recalibration (the detection equipment should be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area). Ensure that the detector is not a potential ignition source and that it is suitable for the refrigerant used. The leak-detection equipment must be set to a percentage of the lower flammability limit of the refrigerant and calibrated for the refrigerant used with the appropriate percentage of gas (maximum 25%) confirmed.
• Leak-detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants, but the use of detergents containing chlorine must be avoided, as chlorine can react with the refrigerant and corrode copper pipes.
• If a leak is suspected, all naked flames must be eliminated/extinguished.
• If a refrigerant leak is found and requires brazing, all refrigerants must be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut-off valves) in a part of the system far away from the leak. Oxygen-free nitrogen must then be purged through the system both before and during the brazing process.

7. Removal and evacuation

When intervening in the cooling circuit for repairs or any other purpose, conventional procedures must be followed. However, it is important that best practices are followed, as flammability is a matter to be taken seriously. The following procedure is to be followed:

ENGLISH

1. Remove the refrigerant.

2. Purge the circuit with inert gas.

3. Evacuate.

4. Purge again with inert gas.

5. Open the circuit by cutting or brazing.

6. The refrigerant charge must be recovered from the correct recovery cylinders. The system must be flushed with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Oxygen or compressed air must not be used for the task.

7. Cleanliness must be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until working pressure is reached, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pushing to a vacuum. This process must be repeated until there is no refrigerant left in the system. When using the oxygen-free nitrogen end-charge, the system must be vented to atmospheric pressure to allow for work. This operation is absolutely vital if brazing operations are to take place on pipes.
8. Ensure that the vacuum pump outlet is not near any source of ignition and that ventilation is available.

8. Loading procedure

In addition to conventional loading procedures, the following requirements must be followed.

• Ensure that no contamination of different refrigerants occurs when using the loading equipment. Hoses or lines should be kept as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
• Cylinders must be kept in an upright position.
• Ensure that the refrigeration system is grounded before loading the system with refrigerant.
• Tag the system when charging is complete (if not already).
• Extreme care must be taken to avoid overfilling the cooling system.

Before reloading, the system must be pressure-tested with oxygen-free nitrogen. The system shall be leak-tested upon completion of loading, but prior to commissioning. A subsequent leakage test must be carried out before leaving the site.

9. Commissioning

Before performing this procedure, it is essential that the technician is thoroughly familiar with the equipment and all its details. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are safely recovered. Before the task is carried out, a sample of oil and refrigerant should be taken in case an analysis is required before the recovered coolant is reused. It is essential for there to be power before starting with the task.

A. It is important to get familiar with the equipment and its operation.
B. Electrically isolate the system.
C. Before attempting the procedure, ensure that:

• the mechanical-handling equipment is available, if required, for the handling of refrigerant cylinders.
• all personal protective equipment is available and correctly used.
• the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person.
• cylinders and recovery equipment conform to appropriate standards.
  D. Pump the cooling system, if possible.
  E. If vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
  F. Ensure that the cylinder is positioned on the scale before recovery takes place.
  G. Switch on the recovery machine and operate it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  H. Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80% of the liquid charge by volume).
  I. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
  J. When the cylinders have been correctly filled and the process is complete, ensure that the cylinders and equipment are promptly removed from the site and that all equipment isolation valves are closed.
  K. Recovered refrigerant must not be charged to another refrigeration system, unless cleaned and checked.

10. Labelling

The equipment must be labelled stating that it has been taken out of service and drained of refrigerant. The labelling must be dated and signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating that the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.

11. Recovery

• When refrigerant is removed from a system, either for service or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
• When transferring refrigerant to cylinders, ensure that only suitable refrigerant-recovery cylinders are used. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders is available to support the total load of the system. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special refrigerant recovery cylinders). Cylinders must be completed with pressure-relief valves and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery takes place.
• Recovery equipment must be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment at hand and must be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales must be available and in good working order. Hoses must be complete with disconnect couplings free of leakage and in good running order. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in good running order, properly maintained, and that all associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of refrigerant release. Consult the manufacturer in case of doubt.

ENGLISH

• The flammable refrigerant must be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the applicable waste transfer note must be provided. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
• If compressors and compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been drained to an acceptable level so that no flammable refrigerant remains within the lubricant. The evacuation process must be carried out before returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electrical heating of the compressor body should be used to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it must be done in a safe manner.

Competence of service staff

General

• Special training in addition to normal refrigeration equipment repair procedures is required when the equipment is affected by flammable refrigerants.
  In many countries, this training is carried out by national training organisations that are accredited to teach the relevant national competence standards that may be laid down in legislation.
• The competence obtained must be documented by a certificate.

Training

The training should include the following:

• Information on the explosion potential of flammable refrigerants to demonstrate that flammable materials can be hazardous if handled carelessly.
• Information on possible ignition sources, especially those that are not obvious, such as lighters, light switches, vacuum cleaners, or electric heaters.
• Information on the different security concepts:
• Unventilated - (see Clause GG.2). The safety of the device does not depend on the ventilation of the housing. Switching off the device or opening the housing has no significant effect on safety. However, it is possible that refrigerant leaks may accumulate inside the appliance and a flammable atmosphere may be released when the housing is opened.
• Ventilated enclosure - (see Clause GG.4) The safety of the appliance depends on the ventilation of the enclosure. Switching off the device or opening the housing has a considerable effect on safety. Make sure there is enough ventilation before using the appliance.
• Ventilated room - (see Clause GG.5) The safety of the appliance depends on the ventilation of the room. Switching off the device or opening the housing has no significant effect on safety. Ventilation of the room must not be interrupted during repair procedures. Information on the concept of sealed components and sealed enclosures according to IEC60079-15: 2010.
• Information on correct working procedures:

Commissioning

• Make sure that the built-up area is sufficient for the refrigerant charge or that the ventilation duct is assembled correctly.
• Connect piping and perform a leak test before charging with refrigerant.
• Check the safety equipment before putting it into service.

Maintenance

• Portable equipment should be serviced outdoors or in a workshop specially equipped for servicing units with flammable refrigerants.
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation at the repair site.
• Please note that malfunctioning of the equipment may be due to loss of refrigerant and possible refrigerant leakage.
