Frequently Asked Questions - Narciso Baby Argoclima

How to start the Narciso Baby dehumidifier?

Plug in the appliance, make sure the tank is properly in place, then turn the humidity control knob to the desired level or to 'continuous' for permanent operation. The appliance stops automatically when the desired humidity is reached.

What to do when the red tank indicator lights up?

The red light indicates that the water tank is full. Turn off the appliance, remove the tank with both hands, empty it, then replace it properly. The appliance will restart automatically.

How to install continuous condensate drainage?

Purchase a PVC hose with an inner diameter of 13 mm (not supplied). Remove the permanent drain cap at the back of the unit, as well as the flexible plug. Connect the hose to the drain outlet, then replace the tank. Make sure the hose is below the outlet level and not kinked.

How often should the air filter be cleaned?

Clean the filter every two weeks to maintain good efficiency. Remove the filter, clean it with a vacuum cleaner or with warm water, dry it well, then put it back in place.

The appliance is not collecting water, what should I do?

First check that the filter is not clogged: clean it. If the problem persists, the ambient temperature or humidity may be too low (normal operation). Also check that the tank is properly in place. If nothing works, contact after-sales service.

What does the yellow defrost light mean?

The yellow light indicates that the appliance is in automatic defrost mode. This occurs when the ambient temperature is below 12 °C, as frost forms on the evaporator. Defrosting is normal and may last a few minutes. The appliance can operate down to 5 °C, but below that it is not recommended to use it.

Is it dangerous to leave the appliance plugged in permanently?

The appliance is designed to operate continuously according to the humidity setting. However, it is advisable to unplug it during cleaning or if you leave home for a long time. Make sure the cable is not damaged and the plug is in good condition.

Can I use the dehumidifier in a child's room?

The appliance is not intended for use by children without supervision. It is best to place it out of reach of young children as they might play with it or insert objects into the appliance.

What to do if the appliance is very noisy?

Check that the appliance is placed on a flat and stable surface. An uneven floor can cause vibrations. Also make sure nothing is blocking the air inlets/outlets. If the noise persists, contact technical service.

How to dispose of the dehumidifier at the end of its life?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. According to European directive 2002/96/EC, take it to a selective collection center or to your retailer. The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on the appliance reminds you of this. This allows recycling of materials and protection of the environment.

DEFROST

When operating in low temperatures (less than 12^ ) the surface of the evaporator will accumulate frost and effect the efficiency of the dehumidifier. When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode automatically. This is quite normal. Defrost light will come on. The unit will operate in temperatures down to 5^ . Defrost time may vary. If the dehumidifier freezes up turn the unit off for few hours and then restart. It is not recommended to use the dehumidifier in temperatures below 5^ .
