PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATIONGB

16 / AIR HUMIDITY A certain amount of water vapour is always present in the air: the air’s capac- ity to withhold water vapour increases with its temperature. For example, at a temperature of 26°C, the maximum humidity content is 21.4 g of water vapour per kg of air, while at 30°C, the maximum humidity content is 27.2 g of water vapour per kg of air. In actual fact, the maximum humid- ity contents constitute extreme cases which do not occur at our latitudes. In these conditions, air is said to be ‘saturated’ (i.e. it cannot contain any more humidity) and the water vapour begins to condense. ‘Relative humidity’ refers to the ratio between the air’s actual humidity and the maximum possible hu- midity content at that particular temperature. For example, if said temperature were to be 26°C, the actual humidity content would be 10.7 g of water vapour for each kg of air, and the relative humidity would be:

Relative humidity is always expressed as a percentage value (%). Apart from natural causes, the air’s humidity in enclosed spaces can increase due to the number of people present, the activities being performed, etc. Both too little and too much humidity are harmful to the human body, for opposite reasons, and should thus be avoided.

The mode remains active up to 10h. NOTE: in this mode you cannot change the fan speed or relative humidity settings. , CONTINUOUS mode, the dehumidier runs at maximum power without time limit. , AUTO mode, the dehumidier sets the relative humidity in relation to the ambient temperature to maximise occupant comfort, according to the following rules: Detected room temperature Set relative humidity T ≤ 18 °C 55% 18 °C < T < 25 °C 50% T ≥ 25 °C 45% NOTE: in this mode you cannot change the relative humidity setting.

3. HUMIDITY SETTING/TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

HUMIDITY SETTING The relative humidity level can be set from 35% (minimum) and 80% (maximum), with 5% increments each time the ‘+’ and ‘-’ control buttons are pressed. When the set humidity level is reached, the compressor stops and the fan continues to run for 3 minutes. NOTE: the humidity setting buttons are disabled in SUPER LAUNDRY ROOM, CONTINUOUS and AUTO modes. TEMPERATURE DISPLAY You can display the ambient temperature (°C) by holding down the “+” button for more than 3 seconds. You can do this whether the dehumidier is running or not, so long as it is connected to its power supply. The ambient temperature dis- plays for 10 seconds.

The display shows the operating mode, actual and set relative humidity, ambient temperature, fan speed, timer, special functions and shutdown alarms. When the dehumidier is connected to its power supply, the actual relative humidity displays; to display the ambient temperature, hold down the “+” button for more than 3 seconds.

Pressing this button programs a delay after which the dehumidier will start or stop. When set, the TIMER ON / TIMER OFF icon displays. Press or hold the “+” and “-” control buttons to set the delay: in 0.5 h (30 min) increments for 0-10 hours, and 1h (60 min) increments for 10-24 hours. Set the delay to 0.0h to cancel the TIMER ON / TIMER OFF function. NOTE: You can set the TIMER whether the dehumidier is running or not, so long as it is connected to its power supply.

TURBO Press to select the fan speed: normal (the “ ” indicator light turns on) or turbo (the “ ” indicator light turns on). NOTE: the TURBO button is disabled in SUPER LAUNDRY ROOM mode and when the SELF CLEAN, AIR PURIFIER and ANTI-MOULD special functions are enabled. SELF CLEAN Pressing the TURBO button for more than 3 seconds enables the SELF CLEAN function.

7. PURE/ANTI-MOULD BUTTON

PURE Press this button to select the AIR PURIFIER function which uses the included HEPA (High Eciency Particulate Air) lter to reduce the dust, bacteria and allergen content in the room. ANTI-MOULD Pressing the PURE button for more than 3 seconds enables the ANTI-MOULD function. CAUTION Do not touch the selector with wet hands (risk of personal injury due to electrocution). Do not start or stop the appliance by simply plugging it into the power socket or unplugging it (risk of personal injury due to electrocution). Avoid prolonged direct exposure to the air ow (risk of personal injury due to sensitisation of the skin). SPECIAL FUNCTIONS AUTO-RESTART This function enables the dehumidier to restart, after a power failure, from the last stored settings. ANTI-FROST FUNCTION Prevents the evaporator from frosting, thereby extending the dehumidier’s life and enhancing energy saving. When this function is active, the fan continues to run while the compressor stops and ‘P1’ appears on the display.

The dehumidier stops when the condensate collection tank is full or incorrectly positioned. ‘P2’ displays together with in- dicator light

NOTE: when the compressor stops, it is necessary to wait 3 minutes before it restarts. ANTI-MOULD FUNCTION Hold the PURE button down for more than 3 seconds to enable this function. It sets the fan speed and hours of operation of the dehumidier (up to 4h) in relation to the measured actual humidity. This maximises occupant comfort while reducing the risk of mould and bacterial growth. To disable the function, hold the PURE button down for more than 3 seconds or select an operating mode with the MODE button. SELF CLEAN Hold the TURBO button down for more than 3 seconds to enable this function; the displays reads SC for 5 seconds and then clears. The SELF CLEAN function initiates as soon as the dehumidier is switched o, and runs for 15 minutes; the display reads SC while the function is active. The function cleans and dries the heat exchangers with ventilation/dehumidication cycles, thus keeping them in perfect working order. To deactivate SELF CLEAN, hold down the TURBO button for 3 seconds; SC ashes on the display for 5 seconds and then clears.

AIR PURIFIER FUNCTION

This function signicantly reduces the dust, bacterial and allergen content of the room, using the HEPA (High Eciency Particulate Air) lter supplied with the dehumidier. Press the PURE button to activate the AIR PURIFIER function; all other modes and special functions are inhibited while it is running. Make sure you have tted the HEPA lter as indicated in g.A . CAUTION Incorrectly installing the lter or forcing it into place can cause the dehumidier to malfunction, overheat and even fail. Fig.AGB / 19 CONDENSATE DISCHARGE The dehumidier can discharge the condensate water in two dierent ways:

1. DISCHARGE INTO TANK

The condensate water falls directly in the tank located in the lower section of the dehumidier. When the tank is full, the dehumidier automatically shuts down and the displays shows “P2” and the logo. PROCEDURE FOR EMPTYING THE TANK: - Pull out the tank slightly using the appropriate handles on the sides (Fig. A). - Pull the tank out fully while being careful not to spill the condensate water. - Do not place the tank on the ground as its irregular underside may cause the water to spill out. - Empty out the water. - Put the tank back into its housing. The dehumidier will automatically start functioning again.

- Do not remove the oat (located inside the tank) when emptying out the water. - Make sure to put the tank properly back into its housing (after having emptied it). - Incorrectly tting the tank can stop the dehumidier starting (make sure the “P2” has cleared from the display). Before removing the tank, it is advisable to tap the top part of the dehumidier a few times to ensure that all the water has fallen into the tank. A few drops of water may nonetheless drip down once the tank has been pulled out. - Before undertaking any operation on the appliance, make sure that the power supply has been disconnected.

2. CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

Allows for discharging the condensate water without letting it fall into the collection tank. This function is particularly useful when the dehumidier must be operated for long periods, making it dicult to empty the tank continuously. INSTRUCTIONS - Remove the rubber cap from the right-hand outlet located on the rear of the appliance (Fig. B). - Connect the hose (not included) with 10 mm internal diameter to the outlet (Fig.C). Make sure that the other end of the hose terminates at a water collection point lying lower than the discharge outlet. - Switch the appliance on. CAUTION: To restore standard draining into the tank, make sure to ret the rubber cap into the hole on the rest of the unit. Fig. A Fig. B Fig. CGB 20 / BASIC MAINTENANCE Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it and disengage the automatic switch.

1. CLEANING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

- Clean the dehumidier using a cloth dampened in lukewarm water (no more than 40°C) and neutral soap. Do not use solvents or aggressive detergents. - Do not spray water directly onto the appliance.

2. CLEANING THE TANK

Clean the condensate collection tank regularly (every 2-3 weeks) in order to prevent mould and bacteria build-up. Use water and non-aggressive detergents.

3. CLEANING THE FILTERS

Dust lter Cleaning the lter regularly (to be performed at least every 30 days) is essential to ensure optimal dehumidier performance. - Remove the rear grille by raising the lower part and sliding it out downwards (Fig. E). - Remove the lter from the grille and clean it using a vacuum cleaner or wash it with lukewarm water and neutral detergent. - Dry it thoroughly (do not leave it exposed to sunlight). - Put the lter and grille back in place. HEPA lter: High Eciency Particulate Air (Supplied with the dehumidier, not pre-installed) Puries the air and reduces dust, bacteria and allergens. - Replace the lter every 12 months of use.

4. END-OF-SEASON MAINTENANCE

1. Remove any condensate water present in the tank.

2. Clean the appliance, tank and dust lter.

3. Cover the appliance to protect it against dust.
