Frequently Asked Questions - LE 100 STEBA

How to set the desired humidity?

Turn the humidity regulator to the position corresponding to the desired relative humidity percentage (e.g. position 4 for about 60%). The compressor operates as long as the ambient humidity is above the set value. For continuous operation, set the regulator to Cont..

What to do when the 'Water tank full' indicator lights up?

Empty the water tank. Wait about 15 minutes after the appliance stops to allow residual water to drain. Remove the tank, empty it, then replace it correctly until it clicks into place.

Can I use a hose for continuous drainage?

Yes, remove the water tank and connect a hose (not supplied, available as a Steba accessory) to the fitting at the rear. Replace the tank. Ensure the appliance is not lower than the drainage point.

How often should I clean the filter?

The filter should be cleaned every week. Open the intake grille at the rear, remove the filter from underneath, rinse it in warm soapy water, dry it, then put it back in place.

What does the 'Defrost' indicator mean?

The 'Defrost' indicator indicates that the appliance is in a defrost cycle. This occurs when the ambient temperature drops below 5 °C. The compressor stops but the fan continues to operate until the defrost is complete.

Why is my dehumidifier not producing condensation?

This may be due to low ambient humidity, open doors or windows, blocked air intake/outlet, or a dirty filter. Check these points and clean the filter if necessary.

The appliance vibrates. What to do?

Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface. If the floor is not perfectly level, you can slide a piece of foam under the appliance to dampen vibrations.

Can I use the appliance in a bathroom?

The appliance must be placed at least 60 cm from water points (shower, bathtub) and 120 cm from taps. It is not designed for use in very humid areas such as a running shower.

How to maintain the appliance during prolonged non-use?

Empty and clean the water tank and the filter. Store the appliance upright in a dry place.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

First check that the plug is connected and the fuse has not blown. Make sure the water tank is properly inserted and the float is in place. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.
