Frequently Asked Questions - AD 40 Aerial

How to set the desired humidity on the Aerial AD 40?

Use the arrow keys up and down to adjust the target humidity by 1% steps (or 5% if held). The dehumidifier starts when actual humidity exceeds the setpoint.

What to do when the "Bucket full" indicator flashes?

The bucket is full. Turn off the device if needed, then unlock and empty the bucket. Replace it correctly and lock it. The indicator will turn off.

How to activate night mode?

Press the night mode button (moon icon). The device runs for 10 hours at low fan level for quieter operation.

What does error E1 on the display mean?

Error E1 indicates an outside temperature below 1°C or above 34°C. The device restarts automatically when temperature returns between 5°C and 30°C.

Can I use a continuous drain hose?

Yes, remove the bucket, attach a hose (12x2 mm) to the drain tube with a clamp, ensure a slope of at least 5% and that the end is not submerged. Replace the cover plate.

How to clean the air filter?

Turn off and unplug the device. Remove the filter, clean with a vacuum or lukewarm water (mild soap), dry thoroughly. For the AD 40, disassemble the filter holder (4 screws) and wipe the drip tray.

How to stack two dehumidifiers?

Do not stack more than two units. Place the feet of the upper unit into the notches of the lower one. Secure them with straps at the fixing points to prevent tipping.

How to unlock the control panel keys?

Press and hold the info button for 5 seconds until the lock is disabled.

What is the minimum area required to use the device?

6 Safety

Intended use and conditions of use

The dehumidifier is used to remove humidity from air where there is atmospheric pressure in closed indoor rooms, such as basements, garages or warehouses.

The dehumidifier must only be set up, used and stored in rooms with larger than 4m^2

The dehumidifier must only be used in compliance with the Technical Data (see last page).

Persons with physical, sensory or mental restrictions and children are not permitted to use the dehumidifier.

Every user must have read and understood the operating instructions.

Foreseeable misuse

The dehumidifier must not be used:

In rooms with potentially explosive atmospheres.
- In rooms with an aggressive atmosphere (e.g. caused by chemicals).
- In rooms with water with a pH value below 7.0 or above 7.4.
- In rooms with salt or liquids with a salt content >1% , e.g. brine baths.
- In wet areas of indoor swimming pools.
In rooms with ozone-treated air, high solvent concentrations or high dust pollution.

General safety information

WARNING! Risk of explosion, burns and poisoning from refrigerants!

The appliance contains an odourless, flammable refrigerant which, if handled incorrectly, could result in explosions and fire as well as injuries and burns. The refrigerant circuit is pressurised.

Do not use any objects to accelerate the thawing process.
Do not store the dehumidifier in rooms with permanent sources of ignition, such as open flames, operational gas appliances or electric heaters.
Do not drill open or ignite dehumidifiers.
- Only operate the appliance in an adequately ventilated room larger than 4m^2
Any work to the refrigerant circuit must be performed by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's authorised technical personnel. Before working on the refrigerant circuit, it must be depressurised using the designated mechanisms.
Observe the national regulations for gas installations.
Do not dump refrigerants or dispose of them as household waste.
Avoid coming into contact with the refrigerant.

WARNING! Electrocution!

Working on live components or water on live components can cause life-threatening electrocution.

Avoid contact between water and live components.
Always switch off and unplug the dehumidifier and drain away any water before moving it to another location.
Always empty the basin before moving it to another location.
- Only allow the manufacturer or authorised personnel to carry out work on electric components.

7 Unpacking

Procedure

1. Check that the package contents are complete. Contact your stockist in the event of damage or missing contents.
2. Remove the packaging and dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.

8 Stacking appliances

Two appliances from this series can be stacked on top of each other for transport and storage.

Warning! Crushing as a result of tipping or instability!

Do not stack more than two dehumidifiers on top of each other. Make sure that the feet of the top appliance are in the notches of the bottom appliance.
Secure the dehumidifiers to prevent them from tipping over or falling, e.g. using tension belts.

Procedure

1. Place the feet of the top appliance in the appropriate notches of the bottom appliance.
2. Attach a suitable safeguard, e.g. tension belts, to the attachment points for straps to secure the top appliance to the bottom appliance and stop it from falling off. Stack a maximum of two appliances.

9 Transport and connection

Transport

WARNING! Crushing as a result of instability!

Transport the dehumidifier in an upright position and secure it so that it cannot tip over or slip.
Position the dehumidifier on a stable, even surface.

WARNING! Crushing or cutting from reaching into the grille of the air filter!

Use the handles to transport the dehumidifier.
Do not reach into the air filter.

CAUTION! Crushing or ergonomic damage when transporting the dehumidifier!

Use the handles to transport the dehumidifier.
The dehumidifier must be transported by two people.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the basin is empty and secured with the basin lock.
2. Make sure that the discharge hose (optional) and the mains cable have been disconnected from the appliance.
3. AD 740: Raise the hinged handle for transporting on the wheels. To do this, release the lock on the right and left of the hinged handle (item 1) and lift the hinged handle until the lock engages again.

1. Transport the dehumidifier to where it is going to be used.
2. AD 740: Fold the hinged handle back down again.

NOTE: The air must circulate freely. Do not cover the air openings. There must be a clearance of at least 1m in front of the air outlet and the air filter.

Preparing the basin

Does not apply if an optional discharge hose is connected.

Procedure

Slide the basin into the dehumidi-fier.
Secure the basin with the basin lock.

Connecting an optional discharge hose

If necessary, the condensate water can be drained off via a discharge hose instead of into the basin. To do this, proceed as follows:

ATTENTION! Inadequate appliance output!

Do not place the end of the hose in the water (backwater possible).
Do not bend the discharge hose.
Do not place any objects on the hose.

Procedure

1. Remove the basin.
2. Attach a suitable hose (12 x 2 mm) to the discharge nozzle (Pos. 2) using a pipe clip.

1. Make sure that the end of the hose is lower than the start of the hose at the discharge nozzle. Minimum slope of 5% (5 cm/metre).
2. Slide the top cover sheet (item 3) in front of the notch (item 4). To do this, loosen the screw on the cover sheet and slide the cover sheet to the top.

1. Run the end of the hose into a drain or a suitable container.

Electrical connection

Procedure

1. Make sure that the supply voltage is the same as the connection voltage in the technical data.
2. Provide an adequate fuse for the socket and the power supply.
3. Install an earth leakage circuit breaker in damp rooms and building sites.
4. Make sure that the mains plug is suitable for the socket of the building.
5. Make sure that the socket used is earthed.
6. Plug the mains plug into the socket.
7. If necessary, connect one more appliance at most to the socket on the dehumidifier. If more than one appliance is connected, the integrated socket fuse will stop the appliances from working.

10 Operation
