Please read carefully through all the information in these operating instructions. They contain important explanations concerning usage, safety and maintenance of the appliance.

Ensure that these operating instructions are stored safely and be sure to pass them on to any new owner of the appliance.

The appliance may only be used for its intended purpose in accordance with these operating instructions. Please observe the safety information.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• This appliance is not a toy. Children are not aware of the inherent dangers of electrical equipment. The appliance must therefore be used and stored out of the reach of children.
• The humidifier may only be installed in accordance with national electrical connection requirements.
• Never place fingers or objects in the air inlet and outlet vents. Risk of injury!
  • Always switch the appliance off when it is not being used.
  • Always prevent the electrical cord from coming into contact with a hot surface.
• Remove the mains plug:

a) when a fault has become evident b) before every cleaning and maintenance operation c) after use

• Never use the power cord or wet hands to pull the mains plug out of a wall socket.
• Never pull the appliance by its power cord.
• Do not pull or wedge the power cord over sharp edges.
• An extension cable may only be used

if prior inspection has shown it to be in a satisfactory condition. If use of a cable reel is planned, all the cable must be removed from the reel before the cable can be used.

- The appliance should not be used (immediately remove mains plug) if:

a) the appliance or power cord is damaged in any way b) there is suspicion of a fault after the appliance has been knocked over, or similar.

In such cases the appliance must be inspected, and repaired as necessary, by a refrigeration specialist.

• The appliance must never be operated in a pool of water. Should this be the case, the appliance must firstly be disconnected from the mains power supply, or the fuse must firstly be removed, before anyone steps into the wet area.
• No heavy objects should be placed on the appliance, nor should it be sat upon.
• No liability for possible damages can be assumed if the appliance is not operated in accordance with its intended use and these instructions, or if repairs have not been carried out by a specialist tradesperson. In such cases, the right to a guarantee claim is rescinded.

INTENDED USE

This appliance has been specifically designed for living rooms. It may not be used in laundries and drying rooms. The relative humidity of a room can be controlled with this dehumidifier. The operation of the appliance is based on the condensation principle. The lowest moisture content that can be achieved, depending on the temperature, is approx. 35 – 40% relative humidity.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A fan is used to draw the moist room air across the refrigeratory attached to the cooling unit. The moisture condenses on the evaporator coils and drips off as water into the collecting bucket. Before leaving the unit, the air is re-heated to the inlet temperature by the condenser.

USEAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Transport/Storage

Whenever possible, the appliance should be transported in an upright position. After being transported on its side, the appliance must be stood in an upright position for at least two hours before connection to the mains and operation.

Before putting the appliance into storage if it is not required for an extended period, the water bucket must be removed and the appliance must be cleaned with a damp cloth and then wiped dry. The appliance should then be packed away (original carton).

Installation

• Place the dehumidifier on level ground
• Ensure that air in the room can circulate freely
• Do not obstruct the inlet or outlet vents
• Maintain a safety zone of 8 cm from any flammable parts
• Place the dehumidifier at least 50 cm from walls and furnishings
• Heed the maximum room size of 200 m ^3 .
• Operating temperatures: Minimum + 12 °C. / maximum + 30°C.

Operation

• Close all windows and doors
• Insert the mains plug into a wall socket – the pilot light (2) will illuminate
• Open the air outlet flap at the top of the appliance – IMPORTANT: The appliance must not be operated with a closed flap
• Check to see whether the water collecting bucket (7) is correctly positioned
• Turn the hygrostat dial (1) to the desired position (generally the "B" position)

The dehumidifier will operate automatically, i.e. it will switch itself off as soon as the set degree of dryness has been reached, and will only switch itself on again with rising humidity. It is recommended that a hygrometer is hung up in the room to check on moisture levels. If room humidity levels are excessive, turn the hygrostat dial on the appliance to a lower setting, conversely, if humidity levels are too low, select a higher setting on the dehumidifier. If the hygrostat dial is set to "C", the appliance will operate continuously.

During the defrosting stage – shown by an illuminated defrost light (4) – the compressor will be switched off, however the fan will continue to operate.

Maintenance

The appliance will switch itself off automatically when the water bucket (7) is full. This shutdown will also be indicated by the illumination of the centre pilot light (3).

• Grasp the bucket by the handle grips on the left and right-hand sides and remove the bucket carefully
• Empty the bucket
• Replace the bucket in its proper position.

10

Direct water drainage

If required, the water removed from the air can also be drained directly away.

• Remove the water collecting bucket (7)
• Knock out the prepared plastic part (10) on the left-hand side of the appliance
• Introduce a hose (available from trade outlets, inside diameter 14mm) through the new opening and push over the end of the outlet pipe
• Ensuring that a steep gradient is maintained, lead the other end of the hose into a discharge pipe. Ensure that no water can run back into the appliance and water flow is not obstructed in the hose.
  • Re-insert the water bucket

Cleaning

The cooling unit is hermetically sealed; the fan bearings are permanently lubricated and therefore require no maintenance.

• Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
• Wipe the housing with a soft, dry cloth. In the case of light soiling use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Grip the air filter frame (5) at the indent and pull out.
• Remove any dust and lint from the white filter mesh with a brush or vacuum cleaner (every 3 – 4 weeks).
• Re-insert the filter and filter frame into the appliance.
• Re-insert the mains plug into the wall socket.

Heavy soiling will require the inside of the appliance to be cleaned. This maintenance must be carried out by a refrigeration specialist.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Please check the following points before taking the appliance to your specialist retailer:

A. The appliance does not operate

• Has the mains plug been inserted correctly?
• Is the fuse in your electrical switchbox OK?
• Is the mains cable and/or any extension cord being used in good working condition?
  • Is the water collecting bucket empty?
• Has the water collecting bucket been replaced correctly?
• Is the room humidity level above that set on the appliance?
• Have you waited three minutes before attempting to switch on your appliance again? The dehumidifier is fitted with compressor protection. After being

switched off, the compressor can only be re-started after an idle period of 3 minutes.

B. The appliance operates continuously

- Is the hygrostat dial set to the "B" position?

- Are the doors and windows shut?

- Is the machine capacity sufficient for the room size (max. 200 m ^3 )?

C. The appliance always dehumidifies insufficiently

• Is the air in the room free to circulate?
- Are the inlet and outlet vents unobstructed?
- Is the room temperature too high or too low (see the heading "Installation")
- Is the filter clean?

If checks of the above points do not bring about satisfactory operation, the appliance will need to be taken to a refrigeration specialist for inspection.

DISPOSAL

The dehumidifier is filled with a refrigerant. Special precautions therefore need to be taken during disposal. Please contact your specialist retailer or your local waste disposal centre for further information.
