DH4110 : 16L model

Excessive atmospheric humidity makes a house uncomfortable and can have adverse consequences.

Your dehumidifier allows you to remove damp air from your home by collecting the excess water vapour suspended in the air. It protects your living environment from the damaging effects of excessive humidity.

Thanks to its DRY function, your dehumidifier can also help you dry your washing even faster.

DAMPNESS IS EXPRESSED AS RELATIVE HUMIDITY (HR).

Relative humidity is a percentage indicating the quantity of water vapour in the air as a proportion of the maximum amount of water vapour that the air is able to contain at that temperature. Relative humidity is measured with a hygrometer:

• RH <50%: the air in the room is too dry.
• RH between 50 and 60% : this is considered healthy.
• RH >60%: the air is too humid.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

• The air is drawn in by a fan system and then passes through a refrigerant evaporator where it is cooled and the excess humidity is collected. The air leaving the refrigerant evaporator is dry and cold.
• It then passes through the refrigerant condenser which warms it before it is dispersed through the room.
• The condensed water is collected in the tank or removed through a hose for continuous drainage.

LOCATION

First place the dehumidifier in the room requiring priority treatment.

To maintain a good level of humidity throughout the home, the dehumidifier should then be installed in a central position.

The air must be allowed to circulate freely; ensure that the appliance is not installed behind curtains or near any other obstruction and leave a minimum free space of 10cm (4 in) on all sides of the appliance.

START-UP OF THE APPLIANCE

Before using your appliance for the first time, check that the supply voltage matches that indicated on the appliance.

Your appliance has to operate with an earthed plug. It is a class I appliance.

Before switching on your appliance, make sure that:

• the appliance is positioned in accordance with these instructions,

• the air inlet and outlet grills are completely unobstructed,

• the appliance is placed on a flat and stable surface.
• the tank float (7 Fig.1) moves freely in its housing.

Plug the lead in and press the start button (A).

On the display, the pictogram (L) appears indicating the temperature and relative humidity of the room,

Your appliance starts up in continuous operation. You can also define the mode you want to use by selecting the functions described in the following section.

After switching off using the OFF button (without unplugging), when the appliance is switched on it automatically starts in the previous configuration.

OPERATION

HUMIDITY CONTROL Function

To set the target relative humidity, select one of the values, 70% , 60% or 50% , using the button (B). If the 70% function is selected, this means that the air will be dehumidified until the relative humidity falls to 70% . The appliance with regulate automatically if the relative humidity is below 70% (the compressor will stop but the fan will continue to operate).

The compressor will start again if the relative humidity exceeds 70% .

The same applies if 60% or 50% is selected.

CONTINUOUS Function

The unit dehumidifies the room continuously if the CONTINUOUS function (O) is activated using button (B), regardless of the ambient humidity.

SPEED Function

Press button (C) to select:

This function allows you to define an operating time for your appliance from 1 to 24 hours in preset conditions:

With your appliance switched on you can define:

• The ventilation speed (button C)
• The target humidity rate (button B)

Then select the number of hours of operation required before automatic shutdown by pressing the "PROG/TIMER" key (F).

The indicator light (G) will be lit up for the entire duration of the programmed operation.

The appliance will automatically switch off at the end of the selected time.

PLEASE NOTE: the appliance will regulate itself automatically to maintain the target humidity rate during the period of operation.

If you wish to exit the program, select "00 H" or stop the appliance with button A; the light will switch off.
