02. DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS

The apparatus has been designed for automatic air dehumidification. It can be easily transported and set up due to its compact dimensions.

The apparatus works in accordance with the condensation principle. It is equipped with a hermetically-sealed refrigeration system, a low-noise, low-maintenance ventilator and a mains cable with plug.

The apparatus has an operating console for function control. The automatic control, the condensate container with integrated overflow protection and the connection piece for direct extraction of condensate permit fault-free continuous operation. The apparatus conforms with the fundamental health & safety requirements of the applicable EU legislation.

Application locations for the apparatus:

The apparatus is used wherever dry rooms are required and wherever subsequent economical damage (e.g. due to mould formation) is to be avoided.

The apparatus is predominantly used to dry and dehumidify:

• Living, sleeping, shower or cellar rooms
- Laundries, holiday homes, caravans and motor homes, boats

And for the continuous drying of:

• Warehouses, archives, laboratories
• Bathrooms, washing rooms & changing rooms.

Principle of operation:

The appliance works on the condensation principle (see figure A: schematic diagram of the operating principle).

The moist room air is sucked in by the ventilator and fed through the evaporator and the condenser which lies behind it.

Heat is extracted from the air in the cold evaporator. The room air is cooled to below the dew point and the water vapour in the air condenses as condensate or frost on the lamellae of the evaporator.

The dehumidified, cooled air is warmed again at the condenser (heat exchanger) and is blown out at a temperature of approximately 5 °C above room temperature. This treated, dryer air is then mixed with the ambient air. Due to the continuous room air circulation through the apparatus, the air humidity in the place of use is reduced continually to the desired relative humidity. Dependent on the air temperature and the relative air humidity, the condensed water drops continually, or only during the periodic defrosting phases, into the condensate pan and then into the condensate container located below via the integrated outlet.

When the maximum fill state of the condensate container is reached, the tank warning lamp on the operating console lights and the apparatus switches off. In the case of unattended continuous operation with external condensate connection, the condensate is continually drawn off via a hose connection (see the section “Continuous operation with external condensate connection”).

Before each commission, or dependent on local requirements, the intake and outlet openings must be checked for foreign bodies and the intake filter must be checked for fouling. Blocked or dirty grilles and filters should be cleaned immediately, see the section "care & maintenance".

Important instructions before commissioning: 704. the

• Cable extensions must have an adequate crosssection.
• Cable extensions must be either completely unrolled from the drum or completely rolled!
• The condensate container must be inserted correctly.
• Economical dehumidification is no longer guaranteed with this class of apparatus at room temperatures of less than 2 °C and/or relative air humidity of less than 35 %.
• Our product range contains special dehumidification for use under such climatic conditions. Our staff will be pleased to discuss your requirements with you.

Commissioning of the apparatus:

1. Insert the apparatus' plug into a correctly-fused mains socket (230 V/50 Hz).
2. Check that the tank warning lamp is not lit.
3. Press the mains switch so that it is in operating mode "I".
4. For dehumidifying operation, set the rotary control switch to the desired operating level.

The appliance is now operating and working at the desired dehumidifying level. To switch off the appliance, press the mains switch so that it is in operating mode "0".

Information on operating the apparatus:

• The appliance works fully automatically after being switched on until it is switched off by the condensate tank rocker when the tank is full.
• If the power supply is interrupted during operation, the apparatus does not automatically switch itself on again when the power supply is restored.

- If the apparatus is to be used in continuous operation, mum position. with an external condensate connection, please read the section "Continuous operation with external condensate connection".

- The ventilator runs continually until the apparatus is switched off so that the sensor built into the apparatus can always correctly determine the air humidity within the room.

Information on first use and the different types of operation:

When using the dehumidifier for the first time, turn the rotary control switch to its maximum position. Let the appliance run for a while in this operating mode. At the start, the dehumidifier will absorb large quantities of moisture and will continue to do so until the relative humidity has been reduced. After that, the appliance will absorb less moisture. This does not mean that the dehumidifier is not working properly, but rather that the humidity of the air has been reduced.

As soon as you notice the pleasant feeling of dryer air and that the unpleasant odour of damp has disappeared, you can switch the appliance to one of two different operating modes: hygrostat control or permanent operation.

With stepless hygrostat control, you can now set the rotary control switch to a position between off and permanent operation, depending on your personal requirements. To automatically maintain the current humidity of the room air, carefully reduce the dehumidifying power by slowly turning the rotary control switch anticlockwise towards the off position and leaving it in the exact position where the compressor switches off. The built-in hygrostat stores the desired relative humidity value and automatically switches the appliance on or off respectively when the humidity drops below or exceeds this value, effectively maintaining the set humidity level.

In permanent operation mode, the appliance de-humidifies the air continuously, irrespective of the humidity of the air. For permanent operating mode, leave the rotary control switch unchanged at its max-

Information on dehumidification performance:

Dehumidification performance is exclusively dependent on environmental conditions, room temperature, relative air humidity and observation of the instructions in the section "Set-up".

The higher the room temperature and the relative humidity, the higher the dehumidification performance. For use in living quarters, a relative air humidity of approximately 50 to 60 % is sufficient, whilst this should not exceed 50 % in warehouses, archives, etc.

Automatic defrosting

The humidity contained in the ambient air condenses on cooling and, dependent on the air temperature and the relative humidity, coats the evaporator fins with frost or ice. This layer of frost or ice is automatically defrosted by the apparatus.

When required, the automatic hot gas defrosting system built into the apparatus starts the defrosting cycle. The dehumidification operation is halted briefly during the defrosting phase.

Condensate container

From time to time, it will be necessary to empty the incorporated condensate container. When the container is full, the dehumidification operation is interrupted and the tank warning lamp illuminates.

1. Turn off the appliance
2. Carefully pull out the condensate tank towards the front.
3. Pour the condensate down the drain.
4. Clean the tank with a clean cloth.
5. Replace the tank in the appliance.
6. Turn on the appliance again

Continuous operation with external condensate connection:

A connecting nozzle is located under the condensate (collecting) pan. A suitable water hose can be connected to this. If necessary, remove the condensate tank from the appliance to do this. During continuous operation, the condensate can now be drained into a receptacle placed at a lower level. Take care that the hose drains downhill into the receptacle so that the condensate can flow from the condensate pan in an unimpeded manner!

06. water Drain

Firstly, the water can be collected in the water tank included in the scope of delivery; secondly, a hose can be used to conduct the water into a drain or a large external tank and thirdly, a condensate pump can be used to constantly pump out the water (see section 8.2 Accessories)

6.1 Using the water tank and the automatic stop function

The tank has a capacity of 11 litres. The appliance switches itself off automatically when it is full and the liquid level indicator lamp lights up (see section 4.2). The lamp goes off and the appliance switches itself on again automatically as soon as the tank has been emptied.

6.2 Conducting the water away using a hose

The water tank can be reconfigured so as to allow the water to be conducted away into a drain or a large external tank via a hose. The tank has a connecting tube on the left frontal side. There is a plug on the end of the neck of the tube. Pull out the plug and put it in the small round drain opening on top of the tank. A normal or common hose (approx. 12mm in diameter) can be fitted to the connecting tube.

When using a hose, please ensure that the water can drain off by creating a gradient for the water to flow away.

6.3 Using a condensate pump

See section 8.2

Please observe the instructions for using a condensate pump as laid down in the operating manual when a employing a condensate pump.

07. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
