switches to the lowest speed and will now extract moisture from the air.

1. Press the “MODE” button (Figure 1-F) once or more times, until the indicator light “COOL” lights up. The

device will now function as an air cooler and will cool the air by means of a cooling element.

2. Use the “UP” (Figure 1-D) “DOWN” (Figure 1-E) buttons to set the cooling temperature between 16 °C

3. Press on the “FAN” (Figure 1-C) button to switch between low or high speed for discharged air.

• When the internal water collector is full, the appliance stops operating and the indicator light on the control panel lights up “FULL”. You must empty the water collector before you can use the appliance again (see ‘CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Water drainage’).

• If you frequently use the appliance to dehumidify or cool air, you can also use the continuous discharge (see ‘CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Water drainage’). USE - Sleep mode The device is equipped with a sleep mode. Enabling this function will allow the appliance to operate at its quietest and most energy efficient setting ATTENTION: The sleep mode only works in the “COOL” mode.

1. Press the buttons “FAN” and “UP” (Figure 1-C and D) to enable the sleep function. The device switches

to the lowest and most energy-efficient setting.

2. Press the “FAN” and “UP” buttons again to disable the sleep function.

Set temperature unit button: Celsius or Fahrenheit CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - General Over time, dust can accumulate in the grids and between the fins in the appliance.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

2. Remove the dust from the grids and louvers with a hand brush and/or vacuum cleaner.

3. Clean the casing with a soft, damp cloth. Then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. Never immerse the

appliance in water! Make sure that no moisture gets into the electrical connections. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Water drainage The device is equipped with an internal water collector. When it is full, the appliance stops working and the indicator light on the control panel lights up to “FULL“.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

2. Place the appliance on a raised platform and

place a bucket or other type of container under the drainage hole of the water collector.

3. Unscrew the rubber cap from the drainage hole

(figure 1-8), see also figure 7. The water flows from the water collector into the bucket.

4. When the water collector is empty, put the

rubber cap and screw cap back into the drain hole and make sure it is tightly closed. ATTENTION:

• Move the appliance carefully and always vertically to prevent water from leaking over the edge of the internal water collector. When emptying, you can tilt the appliance slightly to get the last water out of the water collector.

• If the bucket or other type of container cannot collect all the water at once, replace the rubber cap of the drainage hole in the meantime. Empty the bucket and repeat the steps. Continuous drainage If you frequently use the device to dehumidify or cool air, you can also use the continuous discharge.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

2. Unscrew the screw cap and rubber cap from

the continuous drain hole (figure 1-10), see also figure 7.

3. Connect a 21 mm (1/2”) connector with drain

hose (not included) to the drain hole (19 mm, see figure 8) and make sure that the end of the hose ends in a drain, bucket or other type of receptacle.

4. Use the device as indicated in this manual.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – Clean the filter For optimal results, you should clean the 2 filters every two weeks and replace them at least once a year, or more often if the filter is visibly closed. Also, clean the filter before storing the appliance for extended periods of non-use or when returning it to use after a longer period of time.

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.

2. Remove the filters at the top and bottom rear of the

appliance (figure 9).

3. Rinse the filters with lukewarm water or soak in warm

4. Let the filters dry thoroughly.

5. Place the cleaned (or new) filters back into the device.

• If the filters are not properly dried, water can get into the device. This can cause (electrical) damage.
