1. Press the button “mode” (figure 1, g) once or multiple times, until the indication light lights up at “dehum”.

The device switches to the lowest speed, and will now dehumidify the air. ATTENTION:

• When the internal water collection tray is full, the device stops functioning, and the indication light lights up on the control panel at “water full”. You have to empty the water collection tray before you can continue using the device (see ‘CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – Water drainage’).

• If you often use the device to dehumidify the air, you can also use the continuous drainage (see ‘CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE – Water drainage’).

1. Press the button “mode” (figure 1, g) once or multiple times, until the indication light lights up at “cool”.

The device is now functioning as air cooler, and will cool the air by means of a cooling element.

2. Use the buttons “up” (d) and “down” (e) to set the cooling temperature between 16°C and 31°C.

3. Press the button “speed” (c) to switch between a low or high speed of exhaust air. The indication light

lights up at “low” (low speed) and “high” (high speed). USAGE - Sleep function The device has a sleep function. If you turn on this function, the device will operate in its most silent and energy saving mode. Attention: the sleep function only works in the “COOL” mode

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - Water drainage The device has an internal water collection tray. When it is full, the device stops functioning and the indication light lights up on the control panel at “water full”.

1. Turn off the device and pull the plug from the

2. Place the device on an elevation, and place a

bucket or other kind of collection tray underneath the drain hole of the water collection tray.

3. Unscrew the lid and plug of the drain hole (figure

1, No. 12), see figure 6. The water streams from the water collection tray in the bucket. ATTENTION:

• Carefully move the device and keep it upright at all times, to prevent spillage of the water over the brim of the internal water collection tray. During emptying, you can slant the device slightly to remove the last water from the water collection tray.

• If the bucket, or other kind of collection tray, cannot collect all the water at the same time, put the lid and plug of drain hole back. Empty the bucket and repeat the steps.

4. If the water collection tray is empty, put the lid

and plug back in the drain hole, and make sure it is properly closed. Continuous drainage If you often use the device to dehumidify the air, you can also use the continuous drainage. Attention: continuous drainage only works in the “dehum”-mode.

1. Turn off the device and pull the plug from the socket.

2. Unscrew the lid and plug from the continuous drain hole (figure 1 No. 9), see figure 7)

3. Connect a drainage hose (not included) to the continuous drain hole, and make sure the end of the hose

is placed in a bucket, or other kind of collection tray.

4. Use the device as prescribed in this manual.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - CLEANING THE FILTER For an optimal result, you have to clean the EVA- filter every two weeks, and replace at least 1x per year, or more often if the filter is visibly full. Also clean the filter before you store it for longer periods of time, or when you use it again after a long time.

1. Turn off the device and pull the plug from the

2. Use a cross-head screwdriver to remove the

filter from the back of the device (the middle screw, see figure 8).

3. Rinse the filter with lukewarm water, or have it

soak in soapy water.

4. Let the filter dry properly.

5. Put the cleaned (or new) filter back in the device

and fixate it. ATTENTION:

• If the filter has not dried properly, water can enter the device. This could cause (electrical) damage.
