USER MANUAL Secomat 275 AH Krüger

Please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information regarding the use, safety and maintenance of this machine.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and hand them on to any subsequent users of the equipment.

This machine may only be used for the purpose for which it was designed as specified in these instructions. Make sure that you comply with the following safety advice.

SAFETY ADVICE

• This machine is not a toy. Children do not realise the potential dangers associated with electrical equipment. The machine should therefore be used and stored out of reach of children.
• The clothes drier may only be installed in accordance with the relevant national regulations for connecting such equipment.
• Never insert fingers or other objects into the openings on the machine because of the risk of injury.
  Always switch off the machine when not in use.
• Make sure the electric cable does not come into contact with hot surfaces.
• Unplug the mains plug:

a) in the event of malfunctions b) before cleaning the equipment c) after use

• Never remove the mains plug from the socket by pulling the lead or with wet hands.
• Never drag the machine by the mains cable.
• Don't pull or push the machine over sharp edges.
• Do not use an extension cable unless you have made sure that it is in proper

working condition. If you are using a cable roll, unroll the entire cable.

• Do not start the machine (unplug mains plug immediately) if:

a) the machine or mains cable is damaged.
b) you suspect there may be a defect in the equipment as a result of being dropped or similar

In this case, the machine must be checked by a refrigeration specialist and repaired if necessary.

• The machine must never be used in standing water. If this occurs, the machine must first of all be unplugged or the fuse removed before anyone steps into the water.
• Do not sit or place heavy objects on the machine.
• No liability can be accepted for any damage if the machine is misused or is not repaired by specialist personnel. In this case, the warranty is void.

WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO

This machine has been designed specifically for the drying of clothes.

HOW IT WORKS

Moist air from the room is moved by a fan over a cold coil connected to the refrigeration unit. The humidity condenses on the coil and drops down as water into the collector. The air is then reheated by the condenser to its incoming temperature before being released back into the room.

INSTRUCTIONS

Transportation and storage

The machine should whenever possible be transported in an upright position. If it is transported on its side, the machine must be placed in an upright position and left for at least two hours before being connected to the mains and started.

If the machine is not going to be used for a significant period of time, the water tank and housing must be cleaned with a damp cloth and then rubbed dry before storage. The machine should then be packed in its original box.

Fitting the washing line

For the best drying results, fit the washing line as described below:

Wrong:

The washing facing the drier obstructs the flow of air so that the washing towards the back takes much longer to dry.

Good:

In this case the air can circulate and is able to reach the items at the back.

Best:

The Sunline System has been specially developed by Krüger for its Secomat range of clothes driers and gives the shortest drying times.

Installing the clothes drier

• Fit the enclosed fixing rail to the wall 60cm below the clothes line (if possible, on an internal wall to prevent the build-up of condensation behind the machine)
• Attach the machine to this rail and secure with the left and right-hand screws
• Ensure a safe distance of 8cm to flammable parts

Operating temperatures

275 E: min. +15°C, max. +30°C
275 AH: min. +8°C, max. +30°C

In model E, the heating element is not activated. Therefore, the appliance only operates properly within a temperature range between +15^ and +30^ . If the appliance is operated in a temperature range below 15^ , an icing of the cooling element may occur. In this case, the heating element has to be activated by the service technician. This operating mode should be avoided, as the power consumption increases during operation with the heating element active. The Model AH is equipped with a heating element, which is automatically switched

on at temperatures below 15^ . This heater only serves as support for the functioning of the appliance and is not to be used as heating for the room.

Water drainage

Wherever possible, the water should drain automatically.

• Attach connector piece (optional extra) to the screw thread (8) at the bottom of the machine
• Put the hose (optional extra) over the connector piece
• Put the other end of the hose into the waste pipe (preferably siphoned)

If the water is collected in a tank, it must be regularly checked and emptied. Depending on the temperature and moisture content of the air, the tank may need to be emptied 1-2 times a day. If the tank is not emptied, this can lead to water damage.

Hanging up the washing

• Leave a minimum gap of 30~cm between the clothes and the machine
• Hang heavy cotton items (e.g. toweling, jeans, pullovers etc.) in the air flow near the machine
• Hang large items over two lines or attach to two lines

• Ensure that the air circulation in the room is adequate
• Do not obstruct the intake and outlet openings

The most cost-effective way of drying clothes is not to switch on the clothes drier until:

a) you have hung up all the washing. b) the drying room is full.

If other items are added during the drying process, the drying time is increased.

Starting the machine

• Close doors and windows
• Check machine is plugged into the mains
• Set hygrostat controller (2) between 4 and 5 (washing should be dry at this setting). If the washing is not dry enough or is too dry, you can change the setting as follows:

Washing is not dry enough

Set hygrostat between 3 and 4

Washing is too dry

Set hygrostat between 5 and 6

- SECOMAT 275 AH

• To switch on: Turn the button to '1'

The clothes drier works automatically, i.e. as long as the humidity in the room remains above the preset value, it continues to operate. As soon as the set level of humidity is reached, the dehumidifying function of the clothes drier stops. If the humidity level in the room rises again, it automatically restarts.

• To switch off: Turn the button to '0'

- SECOMAT 275 E

(with end stop)

• To switch on: Press the 'I' button

The clothes drier works automatically, i.e. as long as the humidity in the room remains above the preset value, it continues to operate. As soon as the set level of humidity is reached, the clothes drier switches off completely, i.e. it does not come on again if the humidity level in the room rises again. The drying process can be interrupted at any time by pressing the 'O' button.

Cleaning

The refrigeration unit is hermetically sealed and the fan bearings are provided with lifetime lubrication. These parts are therefore maintenance-free.

• Wipe the housing with a damp cloth.
  Take hold of the filter grip (5) at the top of the front grill. Pull the filter upward and remove.
• Remove dust from air filter using a brush and replace

If it becomes particularly dirty, the inside of the machine will need to be cleaned. This must be performed by a refrigeration specialist.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Please check the following points before taking the machine to a specialist dealer.

A. Machine does not start

Is the mains plug correctly inserted?
Is the fuse in your fusebox OK?
- Is the mains cable or extension cable (if used) OK?
Is the hygrostat controller set correctly (between 4 and 5)?

B. Machine is running constantly

Is the hygrostat controller set between 4 and 5?
- Are the doors and windows closed?

C. The machine is not dehumidifying the room properly

Is the air circulation in the room adequate?
- Are the intake and outlet openings free of obstructions?
- Is the room temperature too high or too low (see section on Installation)?
Is the filter clean?

If you have checked the above points and still not managed to rectify the fault, the machine must be taken to a refrigeration specialist for inspection.

DISPOSAL

Because the clothes drier contains a refrigerant, it requires special disposal. Please contact your specialist dealer or local waste disposal authority.
