CONTROL LIGHTS ON THE CONTROL PANEL

This light indicates that the defrost function has been activated. This is necessary to prevent excessive formation of ice in the device. This light indicates that the water container is full. The device switches off automatically. The device is in operation when this light is on. OPERATION Ensure that the hydrostat is in the OFF position before inserting the plug into the wall outlet. Ensure that the water container has been positioned correctly. If the -light switches on when you use the device for the first time, remove the water container from the device and replace it in the correct position. Turn the hydrostat to the desired position. The hydrostat is continuously adjustable. Set the hydrostat to ‘NORMAL’, which produces a relative humidity of approximately 50% and provides a comfortable living environment. The device starts to dehumidify when the relative humidity in the room is higher than the set value. The device switches of f automatically when the set value is reached, and restarts when the humidity in the room rises again. Setting the hydrostat to the ‘MAX.’ position keeps the device in continuous operation.

n the adjustment button to the ‘OFF’ position to turn the device off.
