 11 ■ SLE 320 D5 Before initial use ♦ Place the appliance on a flat, dry and solid surface. ♦ Allow the appliance to remain in the usage position for approx. 30 minutes so that the coolant can settle. ♦ Check that the water tank 4 is correctly inserted. ♦ Insert the plug into a mains power socket. The OPERATION LED o flashes. Electrical connection CAUTION ► Before connecting the appliance, compare the specifications for the required input voltage on the rating plate with the intended voltage source for operation. This data must agree so that the appliance is not damaged. ► The power cable must always be easily accessible, so that the appliance can be quickly removed from the mains in the event of an emergency. ► Check whether the power cable is undamaged and that it is not routed over hot surfaces and/or sharp edges, otherwise it will become damaged. ► Ensure that the power cable is not taut or kinked. Guidelines for operation ■ If the air in your living spaces is constantly excessively humid, the cause should be identified and addressed. (Sustained - year-round - dehumidifying is generally not a good idea.) ■ The optimal ambient temperature for dehumidifying the air is 5°C to 32°C. Using a dehumidifier at temperatures below 5°C is redundant, as there is little humidity in the air. ■ During operation, room temperature can increase by between 1°C and 4°C, depending on the size of the room. This is normal. Automatic defrosting To ensure that the appliance does not ice up during sustained operation, it defrosts automatically. The defrosting function is activated automatically and cannot be switched on manually. The appliance cannot be switched off during defrosting. During defrosting, the AUTO DE-ICING LED j lights up. The lower the ambient temperature at which the appliance is operated, the earlier or more often the automatic defrosting is activated. Once the defrosting process is complete, the appliance resumes operation in the previous selected settings.■ 12 

SLE 320 D5 Handling and use This section provides you with important information on handling and using the appliance. Switching the appliance on/off ♦ Press the STAND-BY button i to turn on the appliance. You will hear a beep, and the OPERATION LED o lights up continu- ously. ♦ Press the STAND-BY button i to turn off the appliance. You will hear a beep, and the OPERATION LED o starts flashing. NOTE ► The appliance always starts up with the last-selected setting. ► If the appliance shuts down due to a power failure, it will automatically restart with the last–selected setting when power is restored. ♦ If a timer has been programmed, the appliance switches off permanently after the specified time has elapsed (1–24 hours). ♦ If the relative humidity value has been set in the TARGET HUMIDITY program, the appliance switches off as soon as the value is reached. If the value is exceeded, the appliance switches back on again. ♦ When the water tank 4 is full or removed, dehumidification stops. The fan continues to run for approx. 3 minutes and then switches off. If the water tank 4 has been removed or is not correctly inserted, the TANK FULL LED p lights up. If switched on, the appliance will also beep for approx. 20 seconds. NOTE ► The water tank 4 must be completely inserted into the appliance, other- wise the condensation water cannot be properly collected. Air outlet valve On the top of the appliance there is an adjustable flap 6 on the air outlet, which you must open during operation. You can adjust the flap 6 to different angles and thus determine the direction of the air flow. This can be helpful if you are using the appliance to dry washing, for example. In this way, you can direct the air flow towards the wet laundry.GB

 13 ■ SLE 320 D5 Operating status displays The different operating states are shown on the control panel 1 via LEDs and the display t. In addition, the appliance has a numeric LED panel 3 as well as an LED indicator light 2. It uses different colours to indicate the relative humidity range in the room. LED indicators LED lit Meaning TANK FULL p The water tank 4 is full or not inserted. TIMER r A switch-off time has been activated. DRY CLOTHES TARGET HUMIDITY FAN FUNCTION AUTOMATIC q Shows the selected programme. OPERATION o The appliance is switched on. AUTO DEFROST j Automatic defrosting is activated.

Hold the UP arrow z for approx. 3 seconds to display the current ambient temperature in °C. After approx. 5 seconds the display automatically changes back to the humidity value. LED indicator light Colour Meaning Red Relative humidity HIGH (> 70%) Green Relative humidity MID (≥ 50 to ≤ 70%) Yellow Relative humidity LOW (< 50%) NOTE ► Note that the values for the relative humidity have a tolerance of approx. ± 3 %, and switching on the appliance or dehumidification may be slightly delayed.■ 14 

SLE 320 D5 Selecting programmes The appliance has 4 distinct programmes. ♦ Press the MODE button w repeatedly to set the desired program. The programme LED q of the set programme lights up. DRY CLOTHES You can use this programme to dry damp laundry faster. Move the flap 6 on the air outlet so that the airflow is directed towards the garments to be dried. Changes regarding the desired air humidity and the fan level are not possible in this programme. TARGET HUMIDITY This programme offers you the option of setting the desired air humidity level that should be achieved yourself. ♦ Press the UP arrow z or DOWN arrow u to set the desired humidity in 5% steps between 30% and 80%. The set value flashes on the display t for approx. 5 seconds and then the current relative humidity value is shown again. As soon as the selected humidity is reached, the HUMIDITY REACHED LED a lights up. Additionally, you also have the option to select the setting if you want to make a setting below 30% relative humidity. This setting allows you to achieve a very low humidity as the dehumidification runs permanently. To achieve maximum dehumidification, the fan speed must be set high. To do this, press the FAN SPEED button e, until the LED h (high) lights up. NOTE ► The minimum humidity that can be achieved in mode is dependent on many factors, such as the room size or the ambient temperature, etc. Therefore, it is not possible to define a generally applicable minimum value.GB

 15 ■ SLE 320 D5 FAN FUNCTION No dehumidification takes place in this programme. The room air is drawn in through the air inlet, passes through the filter8 and is discharged back into the room via the air outlet. ♦ Press the FAN SPEED button e to select the desired fan level. The LEDs g (ype) and h (high) indicate which fan level is set. AUTOMATIC With this programme, the following functions are automatically activated or deactivated depending on the respective humidity in the room: Humidity Dehumidification Fan > 70% On Fan speed: High 55‒70% On Fan speed: Low < 55% Off Fan speed: Low Timer function The appliance is equipped with a timer function that can be used with any one of the 4 programmes. One of 24 switch-off times, ranging from 1 to 24 hours, can be selected. Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance switches off permanently. ♦ Press the TIMER button r during operation. The TIMER LED f lights up, and flashes on the display t. ♦ Press the UP arrow z or the DOWN arrow u to set a switch-off time from 1 to 24 hours. The selected switch-off time flashes on the dis- playt for approx. 5 seconds and then the current relative humidity value is displayed again. ♦ To end the timer prematurely, press the TIMERbuttonr twice. The TIMER LED f goes out and the display t shows the current relative humidity value.■ 16 

SLE 320 D5 Water tank The water tank 4 has a capacity of approx. 6.5 litres. The water level can be checked by means of the fill level indicator 0. The appliance can only be operated with the water tank 4 inserted. When the water tank4 is full, the TANK FULL LED p lights up. In addition, the appliance will also beep for approx. 20 seconds. The dehumidification stops; the fan continues to run for approx. 3 minutes and then switches itself off. ♦ Carefully pull the water tank 4 out of the appliance using the recessed grips on the side. Use the handle to transport the water tank 4 (see figure 1).

Fig. 1 ♦ Pour out the water through the opening in the lid (see figure 2) and replace the water tank 4 in the appliance. The appliance resumes operation with the previously selected programme. Fig. 2GB

 17 ■ SLE 320 D5 Hose drainage In very humid rooms, it often makes more sense to drain off the water directly via a hose rather than collect it in the water tank 4 . You can use the supplied hosek or the EU garden hose adapter l to set up a permanent drainage outlet. CAUTION ► When draining via the hose, the appliance runs continuously. When draining via the hose, make sure that it is not kinked and that it runs downwards along the entire length. Otherwise, the water may flow back into the appliance and damage it. ► Check the entire connection system regularly for leaks. ♦ Connect either the supplied hose k or the EU garden hose adapter l to the outlet opening 9 (see figures 3 + 4). ♦ When using the EU garden hose adapter l, screw a garden hose onto the EU garden hose adapter l (see figure 4). Fig. 3 Fig. 4 CAUTION ► Screw the EU garden hose adapter l hand-tight only. Do not use a wrench as this may damage the EU garden hose adapter l. NOTE ► Depending on the garden hose system you use, you may need an addition- al adapter. These are available from specialist stores. ♦ Set up the appliance so that the end of the hose is positioned over a drain. The open end of the hose must lie below the outlet opening 9 of the appli- ance (i.e. the hose must have a downwards gradient).■ 18 

SLE 320 D5 Protection against overheating The appliance has an overheating protection. It switches off automatically if there is a risk of overheating and switches back on once the appliance has fully cooled down. The appliance cannot be used during the cool-down phase. ♦ Check whether external conditions may have triggered the overheating protection (e.g. temperatures above 32°C or a closed air outlet flap 6).
