EU garden hose adapter■ 36 │ GB│IE SLE 265 B3 Before initial use ♦ Place the appliance on a flat, dry and solid surface. ♦ Allow the appliance to remain in the usage position for approx. 30 minutes so that the coolant can settle. ♦ Check whether the water tank

has been correctly inserted. ♦ Insert the plug into a mains power socket. Electrical connection CAUTION ► Before connecting the appliance, compare the specifications for the required input voltage on the rating plate with the intended voltage source for operation. This data must agree so that the appliance is not damaged. ► The power cable must always be easily accessible, so that the appliance can be quickly removed from the mains in the event of an emergency. ► Check whether the power cable is undamaged and that it is not routed over hot surfaces and/or sharp edges, otherwise it will become damaged. ► Ensure that the power cable is not taut or kinked. Guidelines for operation ■ If the air in your living spaces is constantly excessively humid, the cause should be identified and addressed. (Running the dehumidifier continuously for years is not reasonable.) ■ The optimal ambient temperature for dehumidifying the air is 5°C to 35°C. Using a dehumidifier at temperatures below 5°C is redundant, as there is little humidity in the air. ■ During operation, room temperature can increase by between 1°C and 4°C, depending on the size of the room. This is normal. Automatic defrosting To ensure that the appliance does not ice up during sustained operation, it defrosts automatically. The defrosting function is activated automatically and cannot be switched on manually. The appliance cannot be switched off during defrosting. During defrosting, the AUTO DEFROST LED

lights up. The lower the ambient temperature at which the appliance is operated, the earlier or more often the automatic defrosting is activated. Once the defrosting process is complete, the appliance resumes operation in the previous selected settings.GB│IE │  37 ■ SLE 265 B3 Handling and use This section provides you with important information on handling and using the appliance. Switching the appliance on/off ♦ Press the STAND-BY button

to switch on the appliance. You will hear a beep and the OPERATION LED

lights up. ♦ Press the STAND-BY button

to switch off the appliance. You will hear a beep and the OPERATION LED

If the value is exceeded, the appliance switches on again. ♦ The appliance switches off if the water tank

is full or has been removed. If wrongly positioned, or if the water tank

has been removed, the TANK FULL LED

flashes and you will hear a beep if the appliance is switched on. NOTE ► The water tank

must be fully inserted in the appliance; otherwise, the condensate cannot be collected properly. Air outlet valve There is an adjustable valve

on the air outlet on the upper side of the appliance that you can open. You can set the valve

at various angles to determine the air flow. This can be helpful if you are using the appliance to dry washing, for example. In this way, you can direct the air flow towards the wet laundry.■ 38 │ GB│IE SLE 265 B3 Operating status displays The various operating statuses are indicated by means of LEDs (

. In addition, there is an LED panel

on the front of the ap- pliance that shows the relative humidity level (colour-coded). LED indicators LED lit Meaning TANK FULL

and then the current relative humidity is shown again. Additionally, you also have the option to select the setting if you want to make a setting below 30% relative humidity. This setting allows you to achieve a very low humidity as the dehumidification runs permanently. NOTE ► The minimum humidity that can be achieved in the mode is dependent on many factors, such as the room size or the ambient temperature, etc. Therefore it is not possible to define a generally applicable minimum value. AUTOMATIC The relative humidity that should be achieved is set permanently to 55%. The appliance dehumidifies until this value is achieved and then switches off. If rela- tive humidity increases again, the appliance switches on again. Changes in the desired humidity are not possible in this programme. Select this programme for sustained dehumidification at a comfortable relative humidity of 55%.■ 40 │ GB│IE SLE 265 B3 DRY CLOTHES You can use this programme to dry damp laundry faster. Move the air outlet valve

so that the air current is directed towards the articles of clothing to be dried. Changes in the desired humidity are not possible in this programme. AIR CLEAN No dehumidification takes place in this programme. The air in the room is drawn in via the filter in front of the air inlet aperture where it is purified. Select this programme if you want to purify but not dehumidify the air in the room. Timer function The appliance is equipped with a timer function that can be used with any one of the 4 programmes. One of 24 switch-off times, ranging from 1 to 24 hours, can be selected. Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance switches off perma- nently. ♦ Press the TIMER button

during operation. The TIMER LED

at the same time again for approx. 3 seconds to deactivate the child lock. You will hear a beep and the display goes out.GB│IE │  41 ■ SLE 265 B3 Water tank The water tank

has a capacity of approx. 6.5 litres. The water level is indicated on the front of the water tank

. The appliance may only be operated once the water tank

is inserted. If the water tank

is full, the TANK FULL LED

will flash and the appliance will beep for about 20 seconds. The appliance switches off after a few seconds. The TANK FULL LED

flashes until the water tank

emptied and replaced in the appliance. ♦ Pull the water tank

out of the appliance using the grips on the side. Use the grips to carry the water tank

(see figure 1). Fig. 1 ♦ Tip out the water and replace the water tank

into the appliance. The appliance continues in the previously set programme for about 3 minutes.■ 42 │ GB│IE SLE 265 B3 Hose drainage In very damp rooms, it is often more appropriate for the water not to collect in the water tank

, but for it to be drained directly through a hose. You can use the supplied hose

or the EU garden hose adapter

to set up a permanent drainage. CAUTION ► When draining via the hose, the appliance runs continuously. During hose drainage, ensure that the hose is not kinked and that it runs downwards over its entire length as the appliance does not have a pump for drainage. ► Check all connections in the system regularly for watertightness. ♦ Unscrew the cap

on the rear of the appliance (see fig. 2). ♦ Either connect the supplied hose

or screw the EU garden hose adapter

(see figs. 3 + 4). ♦ If you are using the EU garden hose adapter

, screw a garden hose onto the EU garden hose adapter

hand-tight only. Do not use a wrench as this could damage the EU garden hose adapter

is always inserted (the seal is already fitted on delivery). ► Depending on the garden hose system you use, you may need an additional adapter. These are available from specialist stores. ♦ Set up the appliance so that the end of the hose is positioned over a drain. The open end of the hose must be positioned lower than the appliance’s outlet (i.e. the hose must run downwards). ♦ Switch on the appliance as usual and select a programme. ♦ If you wish to drain into the water tank

again, switch off the appliance, pull off the hose

or unscrew the EU garden hose adapter

together with the garden hose. ♦ Screw the cap

back onto the outlet

in a dishwasher. Otherwise, it will be damaged. ♦ If required, wipe the casing with a slightly damp cloth. ♦ Remove the water tank

and pour out the water. Dry it thoroughly, both inside and out, before replacing it. ♦ In order to clean the inside of the water tank

, you must remove the lid. To do this, tip the grip backwards until the pins on the grip line up with the groove on the water tank

. You can now remove the grip by pushing it on both sides out of the groove (see figure 5). Fig. 5 ♦ Now remove the lid upwards from the water tank

♦ Assembly is carried out in the reverse order. ♦ We recommend that you clean the water tank

regularly every two weeks to prevent the build-up of mould and bacteria. To do this, fill the water tank

with lukewarm water, adding a standard detergent. Rinse repeatedly with lukewarm water. In addition, disinfection is recommended following clean- ing. To do this, use a standard, alcohol-based disinfecting agent or high- proof alcohol. Both substances are completely harmless if rinsed repeatedly with lukewarm water afterwards. 4GB│IE │  45 ■ SLE 265 B3 Cleaning and changing the filter The performance of the appliance also depends upon how clean the filter is. The carbon filter

should be cleaned every 2 weeks and changed every 6 months. NOTE ► You can purchase new carbon filters in almost all shops selling household goods. The carbon filter mats just need to be cut to size. ♦ Switch the appliance off and pull out the mains plug . ♦ To remove the air inlet grille

, there are grips above the grille. Pull the air inlet grille

off backwards. ♦ Vacuum the air inlet grille

or clean it with a soft brush. ♦ To remove the plastic frame

, carefully remove the retaining tabs around the frame from the mounts on the appliance. ♦ Now, remove the carbon filter
