Air฀outlet Control฀panel Castors PLACEMENT Your SOLIS dehumidifier will begin to protect your home from the harmful effects of excessive moistu- re as soon as it is turned on. Excess moisture travels throughout your home, in the same way cooking smells spread to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw the moist air towards it from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation. Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier there and later moving it to a more central point. For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors and windows kept closed when the dehumidifier is operating. Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a radiator or other heat source. When positioning your SOLIS dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed securely on a level surface clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement. Before you move the unit, switch it off and empty the water tank. IMPORTANT: Keep a minimal 0.2 m safety distance between the appliance and an electrical heater or any inflam- mable surface.

Always unplug the unit from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning the unit. Cleaning the body Use only a soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not use volatile chemicals, petrol, detergents, chemically treated cloths or other harmful cleansing solutions. These could all possibly damage the cabinet. Cleaning the washable air filter This dehumidifier is equipped with a washable filter. This will capture most airborne pollutants like dust, smoke, animal dander, mould spores and pollen to create a less irritating living environment. It is advisable to check the filter on a regular basis (at least monthly and after storage) and clean as necessary:

• Extract the filter holder

• Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly. If the filter is particularly dirty, use lukewarm water with a small amount of medium strength detergent and rinse thoroughly under the cold water tap. Make sure the filter is completely dry before replacing. Do not expose the filter to sunlight or other sources of direct heat as this may cause the filter and frame to warp.

• Lightly press on the sides of the tank with both hands and pull out gently.

• After discarding the water, gently push the tank back into its place. The LED light will go off.

the water tank full sensor will no longer be able to detect the water level correctly without the float and water may leak from the water tank.

2. If the tank is dirty, wash it with cold or lukewarm

water. Do not use detergent, scouring pads, che- mically treated dust cloths, gasoline, benzene, thinner or other solvents, as these can scratch and damage the tank and cause water leakage.

3. When replacing the water tank, press the tank

firmly into place with both hands. If the tank is not positioned properly, the water tank full sensor will be activated and the dehumidifier will not operate.

the electrical outlet.

2. Create an opening (remove part A) for the

drainage tube on the tank.

3. Push a drain tube (14 mm outer diameter,

10 mm inner diameter) through the hole and connect to the continuous drainage port (part B).

4. Place the other end in a drain. Make sure the

tube is free from twists and bends. Note: The water tank has to remain in place during continuous drainage. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

TROUBLE SHOOTING This product contains fluorinated gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol Chemical Name of the Gas R134A Global Warning Potential (GWP) of the Gas 1300 Please note that the dehumidification performance of your SOLIS EASY DRY COMPACT strongly depends on room temperature and relative air humidity. The colder the air, the less moisture it is able to absorb. Accordingly, the appliance will also be able to extract less moisture. To increase the dehumidification capacity, it is recommended that the room be heated. Approximate figures are set out in the following table.
