Frequently Asked Questions - LE 30 EINHELL

How to set the desired humidity?

Press the Air humidity setting (Settings) switch, then use the +/- buttons to set from 40% to 80% in 5% increments.

Why doesn't the device start?

Check that the plug is connected, that the condensate tank is not full (Water Full indicator on) and that the ambient temperature is between 5 and 35 °C.

How to empty the condensate tank?

Turn off the device, carefully remove the tank, empty it and put it back. If the Water Full indicator remains on, the tank is not correctly installed.

Can I use a hose for continuous water drainage?

Yes, remove the rubber cap at the back, connect a hose with 10 mm internal diameter and place it sloping towards a suitable drain.

What to do if the device is noisy?

Check that the device is stable and placed on a flat floor. If the noise persists, it may be due to vibrations or a dirty filter.

How to clean the air filter?

Remove the air intake grille, then the filter. Vacuum it or wash it with warm water (max. 40 °C). Dry it completely before putting it back.

The device stops by itself, why?

This is normal: the compressor stops when the ambient humidity reaches 2% below the setpoint. It restarts after 3 minutes if humidity rises.

What is the defrost function?

When the temperature is below 21 °C, the device automatically defrosts: the compressor stops, the fan continues to prevent freezing of the refrigeration components.

How to use the timer?

Press the Timer button then +/- to set the operating time (1 to 24 h) or the time before startup if the device is in standby.

What to do if the device seems inefficient?

Check that the filter is clean, that the air inlets/outlets are not blocked, and that windows/doors are closed. If the humidity level is already low (< 40 %), the device does not operate.

3. Proper use

The dehumidifi er is designed only for use in privately used rooms (e.g. living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, storage areas, laundry rooms or basements).

Note:

65% humidity is the upper limit at which the human body feels comfortable. If it is too warm for the human body, the humidity level (i.e. water content) is too high. Humidity and temperature are interrelated. A relative humidity (RH) of 35 to 65% at 21°C is generally considered to be ideal.

It is uneconomical to use the equipment at a room temperature below 10^ C or at a room humidity below 40%.

The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

The following information is displayed in the LED indicator panel (Item 18):

• If the device is supplied with mains voltage, the prevailing humidity level at the integrated sensor will be displayed in percent.
• The set value is displayed in percent during the setting of the humidity.
• The set value is displayed in hours during the setting of the timer.
• If the prevailing humidity at the integrated sensor is below 35%, "LO" is displayed.
• If the prevailing humidity at the integrated sensor is above 95%, "HI" is displayed.

The LEDs shine when the function has been set (Item 11 - 17).

The device will switch off automatically when the condensate collector is full.

Provision has also been made for the condensate to be drained off continuously if preferred.

Principle of operation

The dehumidifi er monitors the relative humidity of the inlet air. The humidity condenses on the cooling elements and is directed into the water collector. The dry air – warmed slightly at the condenser – is returned to the room. A refrigerant compressor is needed for the dehumidifi er's operation.

Note:

• The room temperature must lie in the range from 5 to 35 °C and the room humidity must lie in the range from 40 to 95 % RH. The de-humidifier does not work outside this range.
• To achieve an optimum circulation of air you should set up the equipment in the middle of the room if at all possible.
• Avoid opening windows and doors, avoid entering and leaving the room frequently, etc.
• The equipment must not be used in environments containing lots of dust or chlorine.
• The dehumidifier's performance depends on the room's conditions, temperature and humidity.
• If the condensate collector is not fitted correctly, the equipment will not work.
• To prevent high starting currents, the equipment has a restart inhibit function which does not allow the compressor to be switched on again until after a waiting period of 3 minutes.

6. Operation

The LEDs shine when the function has been set (Item 11 - 17).

The air outlet opens automatically after the device has been switched on.

1. If the device is supplied with mains voltage, the "Power" LED shines (Fig. 2 / Item 11).
2. To switch on, press the On/Off switch (Fig. 2 / Item 21). The air outlet opens automatically, a humidity level of 60% and a low fan speed are already preset.
   To switch on the air outlet adjuster, press the SWING switch (Fig. 2 / Item 22). The air outlet adjusts automatically up and down. To fix an air outlet setting, press the SWING switch again. Do not adjust the air outlet manually.

3. Automatic air outlet adjuster

GB

4. Fan speed

To choose between a high and a low fan speed, press the "Fan speed" switch (Fig. 2 / Item 26).

5. Desired humidity

To adjust the desired humidity setting within the range of 40% to 80% in 5% increments, press the "Humidity setting" switch (Fig. 2 / Item 25) and then press the "Higher/lower" button (Fig. 2 / Item 24). If the prevailing humidity at the integrated sensor falls below the desired humidity setting by approx. 2%, the compressor will stop, followed a little later by the fan. If the prevailing humidity at the integrated sensor exceeds the desired humidity setting by approx. 2%, both the fan and the compressor (3 minute restart inhibit function) will start up again.

6. Timer

To set the desired operating time (1 – 24 hours) in 1 hour increments, press the switch for "Timer settings" (Fig. 2 / Item 23) with the device switched on and then press the "Higher/lower" button (Fig. 2 / Item 24). If the timer has not been switched on, the device will run continuously. If the device is connected to the voltage supply, press the switch for "Timer settings" and then press the "Higher/lower" button (Fig. 2 / Item 24) to set the time, in 1 hour increments, until the device is switched on (1 – 24 hours).

1. To switch off, press the On/Off switch (Fig. 2 / Item 21).

7. Emptying the condensate collector

Note:

• The device switches off automatically when the condensate collector (Fig. 1 / Item 1) is full. The „Condensate collector full“ LED will light up and a warning signal will sound for a few seconds.
• If the condensate collector (Fig. 1 / Item 1) is not refitted correctly after it has been emptied, the "Condensate collector full" LED will continue to shine.
• Never remove the "Float" (Fig. 3 / Item A) from the condensate collector, otherwise the automatic switch-off function will no longer work.

- If the condensate collector is dirty, you can clean it with warm water.

1. Remove the condensate collector (Fig. 1 / Item 1) by pulling it out carefully and then empty it.

2. Slide the collector back into the device after you have emptied it.

8. Using an external condensate drain (Fig. 4)

Note:

• Important: To prevent water damage, make sure that the condensate is drained away properly at all times.
• Important: If the weather is very cold you will have to take appropriate measures to prevent the water from freezing in the drainage hose.
• It is best to direct the condensate into a lower lying drain. If you use an external collecting container (e.g. a trough), the equipment must be positioned accordingly higher.
• The drainage hose must be installed with a downward gradient. It must not be kinked or become clogged.
• If the drainage hose becomes clogged, the condensate must run into the condensate collector from the overflow.
• Remove the rubber plug and keep it in a safe place (it must be reinserted in the connection socket when the external condensate drain is no longer used).
• Connect the suction port (B) with a matching water hose (C) with a 10 mm inside diameter.

De-icing function

To prevent the cooling elements becoming iced up at operating temperatures below 21^ , the equipment has a de-icing function. In this case the compressor is switched off but the fan motor continues to run.

During this phase the dehumidifying function is interrupted for a few minutes.

Please observe the equipment's operating range (see Technical Data).

The equipment has a compressor protector which automatically shuts down the equipment when the temperature rises above 35^ C or falls below 5^ C, or when the power consumption rises too high.
