delivery is complete (see figs. A and B).

6. Check whether the

dehumidifier or the individual parts show signs of damage. If this is the case do not use the dehumidifier. Go to the customer service homepage www.ggv- service.de 14 Before using the dehumidifier for the first time The manufacturer recommends that the dehumidifier be operated for approx. one hour with an open window before it is used for the first time in order to eliminate any possible manufacturing residue. Any odour that may arise during this time is normal and will disappear after a short time. It is not an indication of a malfunction. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.

• Before using the dehumidifier for the first time, clean it and all the individual parts as described in the Cleaning section in order to remove any remaining packing dust (see figs. A and B). 15 Operating functions This dehumidifier works according to the condensation mode. The ambient air drawn in by the fan inside the dehumidifier flows over a refrigeration unit, whereby the humidity in the air condenses and drips into the condensation water tank (3) [see fig. B]. Then the cooled air is slightly warmed up and transferred to the space.

15.1 De-icing function

The dehumidifier has an automatic de-icing function, which is activated if the compressor or the cooling unit freezes over. Follow the instructions below concerning the de-icing function:

• You cannot switch the de-icing function on or off manually. It is only activated and terminated automatically.

• If a period of time that was set by the timer function runs out during the de-icing process, the dehumidifier will carry out the de- icing process in its entirety first before switching itself off.

• During the de-icing process control light 22 comes on (see fig. B). ATTENTION Danger of damage! If you open the package carelessly with a sharp knife or other pointed objects the dehumidifier will soon be damaged.Operating functions Page | 33

• Do not switch the dehumidifier off during the de-icing process and do not disconnect it from the mains.

• During the de-icing process the dehumidifier will stop the dehumidifying function but the fan will remain in operation.

• The lower the ambient temperature, at which you operate the dehumidifier is, the more likely and/or frequently the de-icing function will be activated.

• Once the de-icing process is completed the dehumidifier will continue to function in the previously selected operating mode. Please note that the dehumidifying process will run again with a delay of approx. 3 minutes only to prevent overheating of the dehumidifier or of the compressor.

15.2 Aligning the exhaust flap

• Do not completely close the exhaust flap at the air discharge opening under any circumstances while you are operating the dehumidifier.

• You can align the exhaust flap (1) at the air discharge opening in 5 stages (small opening to maximum opening) in order to guide the air that is being discharged in a certain direction, e.g. towards laundry that is being dried (see figs. A and C).

15.3 Using the timer function

Slight deviations (approx. 3 %) in the indicated values are possible. That means that the LED panel will already change colour if the air humidity is 3% lower or higher than indicated. In this way a permanent change of the lighting colour ought to be avoided. LED panel 5 at the front of the dehumidifier shows the degree of the air humidity in the environment of the dehumidifier (see fig. A): The LED panel lights up:

• in blue if the relative air humidity is slight in the environment (under 50%).

• in green if the relative air humidity in the environment is in the medium range (approx. 50–70 %).

• in red if the relative air humidity is high in the environment (above 70%). 16 Operating modes If there is a change in the operating mode or interruptions in operation, the exhaust stage is implemented/activated immediately during the dehumidifying process and will possibly only run again with a delay of approx. 3 minutes to prevent overheating of the dehumidifier or of the compressor.

A tolerance of approx. 3% must be factored into the air humidity values indicated. That means that D. h. the dehumidifying function switches off if the air humidity is approx. 3% under the set value and switches on again if the air humidity is approx. 3% above the set value.

16.1 Normal operation

With the normal operating mode you can determine settings yourself such as the degree of air humidity that should be reached in the space and the exhaust stage. If the air humidity in the space exceeds the set value the dehumidifier will begin the dehumidifying function. As soon as the set air humidity is reached, the dehumidifying function is switched off while the exhaust will still run for approx. 3 minutes to prevent overheating of the dehumidifier or of the compressor and then switches off as well. The control light above button 19 indicates that the desired air humidity was reached (see fig. C) As soon as the air humidity in the space rises above the set value, the dehumidifying function is re-activated and the exhaust runs in the set exhaust stage.Operating modes Page | 35 Setting options: - - 30% to 80% air humidity (in five-per cent increments) - CO (desired air humidity of under 30% during continuous air dehumidification) - - low exhaust stage - + high exhaust stage Proceed as follows when setting the normal operating mode:

1. Press button 22, until the
