This product is intended to be used as a dehumid- ifier in residential houses and is only suitable for use in dry locations, in normal household condi- tions, indoors in living room, kitchen and garage. This unit is only suitable for earthed sockets, con- nection voltage 220-240 V. / ~50 Hz. GENERAL

• To obtain optimum performance from your dehumidifier, do not place it near a radiator or any other heat source.

• Ensure that all windows are closed in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

• The capacity of the dehumidifier depends on the temperature and the humidity in the room. At lower temperatures, less moisture will be removed.

• Ensure that the screen filter is kept clean. This prevents unnecessary power consumption and guarantees optimum efficiency.

• If the power supply has been interrupted, the dehumidifier will restart after three minutes. The automatic delay protects the compressor.

IMPORTANT The device MUST always have an earthed connection. If the power supply is not earthed, you may not connect the unit. The plug must always be easily accessible when the unit is connected. Read these instructions carefully and follow the instructions.

≥ 10 cm ≥ 10 cm ≥ 10 cm ≥ 20 cmCONTROL 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 hygrostat 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 hygrostat to the desired position. The hygrostat is continuously adjustable. Set the hygrostat 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 off automatically when the set value is reached, and restarts when the humidity in the room rises again. Setting the hygrostat to the ‘MAX.’ position keeps the device in continuous operation.

Turn the adjustment button to the ‘OFF’ position to turn the device off. WATER DRAINAGE When the water container is full, the -light switches on and the dehumidifier switches off automatically. Empty the container and replace it in the correct position. The device will restart. If desired, it is possible to connect a drainage hose to the device for permanent water drainage. Follow these steps:

Unscrew the cap on the back.

Remove the rubber stop from the drainage spout.

Connect the drainage hose and ensure that the end of the hose is lower than the spout, otherwise the water will not drain and flooding may occur.

Place the end of the drainage hose in a water outlet. When you no longer wish to use the permanent water drainage, disconnect the drainage hose from the device. Push the rubber stop back into the drainage spout and replace the cap. Ensure that the water container is positioned correctly. CLEANING Switch the dehumidifier off and remove the plug from the socket before cleaning. THE EXTERIOR Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If the device is extremely dirty, use a mild cleaning agent. Wipe the device with a slightly damp cloth. Never spray the device with water.

When used regularly, the filter may become clogged with dust and particles. Therefore the filter should be cleaned every two weeks. Follow these steps:

Remove the water container from the device. Tilt the device backwards a little and remove the filter.

Clean the filter with a vacuum cleaner or with water. Dry the filter and replace it. Ensure that the filter is completely dry. Replace the water container.

Never use the device without the air filter. STORAGE If the machine will not be used for a long period of time, take the following steps:

Remove the plug from the socket and empty the container. Allow the container and the dehumidifier to dry completely.

Clean the air filter.

Store the device in a dust-free location, preferably covered with a sheet of plastic.

60TROUBLE SHOOTING Check the following before contacting technical support: Problem Cause Solution The unit does not work. The powercord is not connect- ed. Insert the plug into the wall outlet. The required humidity setting is too high. Turn the required humidity to a lower desired setting. The water container is full. Remove the water from the container. The water container has not been replaced correctly. Place the water container in the correct position. The device does not dehumidify. The air filter is clogged. Clean the air filter. The temperature or relative humidity in the room where the device is operating is too low. It is normal that the device does not dehumidify in these conditions. The dehumidifier works, but reduces the relative humidity insufficiently. The room is too large. We recommend using a dehumidifier with a greater capacity. There are too many sources of humidity. We recommend using a dehumidifier with a greater capacity. There is too much ventilation. Reduce ventilation (e.g. close curtains and shut doors).
