1 Dehumidifier with water tank

1 Garden hose adapter

1 Set of operating instructions

• Remove all transport packing material.

• Strip off the foil from the operating pan- el.

• Check to ensure that all parts are pres- ent and undamaged.

1. Place the device on a level, dry and solid

2. Let the device rest in its working position

for about 30 minutes, so that the coolant fluid can settle.

3. Check that the float in the water tank

can move freely. To do this, pull out the empty water tank

and turn it upside down so that the float moves.

4. Check that the water tank

is inserted correctly. If it is installed incorrectly, or if the water tank has been removed, the LED

FULL) will illuminate.

to a ground- ed power socket.

6. Notes on operation

• If the relative humidity in residential rooms is continuously excessive, the cause should be found and rectified. (Continuous ventilation - i.e. for several years - is generally not reasonable.)

• The optimum ambient temperature for removing humidity from the air is 5°C to 35°C. Below 5°C, the use of a de- humidifier is not helpful, as there is only relatively little humidity in the air.

• During operation, the room temperature may rise by between 1°C and 4°C, depending on room size. This is normal. Automatic defrosting In order to prevent the device from freezing over while in continuous operation, it de- frosts itself automatically. To do this, the de- humidification process is interrupted, and the motor switches to its highest setting. The intervals at which this happens vary.

7.1 Switching on and off

you can switch the device on and off. The corresponding LEDs illuminate or go out. - The device will start with the setting last selected.

• If a timer has been set, the device will shut down after the time has run out (1- 24 hours).

• If a value has been set for relative hu- midity in the ZIEL-LUFTFEUCHTIGKEIT (TARGET HUMIDITY) mode, the device will stop when the value has been reached, and re-start when the value is exceeded again. Conditions Defrosting Temperature: over 20°C no defrosting Temperature: 12°C to 20°C after 40 minutes dehu- midification, 8 minutes defrosting Temperature: 5°C to 12°C after 25 minutes dehu- midification, 10 minutes defrosting Temperature: under 5°C operation not possible __CPE111670_B1.book Seite 53 Donnerstag, 12.

flash for 5 sec. Timer for all modes: These values (1 - 24 hours) will flash for 5 seconds when you use the arrow keys to select a switch-off time.

7.3 Modes of operation

NOTE: the values selected for relative hu- midity (RH%) are recognised with an up- wards or downwards deviation of approx. 3%. This is necessary so that the device does not constantly switch on and off.

• The device has 4 different modes avail- able.

• By pressing the button PRO- GRAMM

, you can switch between the modes.

• The mode of operation LED

over the active mode blinks for 5 seconds and then glows permanently. AUTOMATIK The setting for the target relative humidity (RH) is fixed at 55%. The compressor dehu- midifies until this value has been reached, and will then switch off. When the relative humidity rises again, the compressor switch- es on again. In this mode, the device operates in 3 differ- ent stages: - RH over 70%: the device dehumidifies at its highest setting. - RH between 55% and 70%: the device dehumidifies at its normal setting. - RH under 55%: no dehumidification, only the fan is running. NOTE: the relative humidity values of the automatic system are not identical to the val- ues HOCH/MITTEL/NIEDRIG (HIGH/MID/ LOW) on the display

Select this mode for continuous dehumidifi- cation to a pleasant relative humidity of 55%. ZIEL-LUFTFEUCHTIGKEIT (TARGET HUMIDITY) In the ZIEL-LUFTFEUCHTIGKEIT mode, you can set the relative humidity in 5% incre- ments to between 30% and 80%. The de- vice dehumidifies at a low level until the set value has been reached, and then deacti- vates itself. When the relative humidity rises again, the device switches on again. - 30 - 80%: setting for the desired relative humidity in the room. - CO: the device dehumidifies continu- ously. Select this mode for continuous dehumidifi- cation, or for dehumidification to a value that you have set.

WÄSCHETROCKNUNG (DRY

CLOTHES) You can use this mode in order to dry damp clothes or shoes faster. The device dehumid- ifies at its highest setting. Shift the flap valve

of the air outlet in such a way that the jet of air is directed towards the items of clothing to be dried. LUFTREINIGUNG (AIR CLEAN) No dehumidification takes place with this mode. The room air is drawn in through the filter in front of the air inlet, and is cleaned there.

In the case of very damp rooms it often makes more sense to discharge the water di- rectly through a hose, instead of collecting it in the water tank. Check the connection sys- tem regularly for tightness.

• For the hose drainage you can either use the supplied hose

or connect a garden hose. WARNING! During hose drainage, the de- vice runs in continuous mode. This means that the water collected must be able to drain reliably, otherwise puddles will form on the floor.

Figure B/C: unscrew the fastener

Figure B: Supplied hose 24

place the supplied hose on the opening. Figure C: Garden hose: screw the garden hose adapter

onto the open- ing. Pay special attention to the correct fit of the sealing ring. Now screw the gar- den hose onto the adapter. WARNING! Only hand-tighten the adapt- er. Do not use any wrenches, as this could damage the adapter. NOTE: depending on the garden hose sys- tem used, a further adapter could be re- quired. This can be purchased at specialist retailers.

4. Place the device in a position where the

end of the hose should lie below the outlet of the device. (The hose should be in- clined.)

5. Switch the device on as described above
