Placement

Fig. 1 When choosing an installation place, consider the following points:

• Observe all safety warnings!
- Ensure the minimum surrounding distance in every direction of 45 cm and 100 cm to other electrical products.
- Ensure there are no obstacles obstructing the airflow.

Note:

If the product has been transported in a horizontal position, it must not be plugged in for 6 hours, in order to avoid damages of the cooling system.

Condensation water tank

Fig. 2 The condensation water tank is the standard water collection container. The device can only be operated when it is inserted.

If the condensation water outlet is closed on the back, the water tank is automatically filled during operation.

• If the water tank is full, the device stops operation but the fan continues to run for a few minutes, the Tank full status LED flashes and an acoustic signal sounds.
• Pull the water tank out using the two recessed handles and pour it out into a suitable drain (bathtub, etc.).
• Push the emptied water tank into the device as far as it will go and make sure that it is locked in and is seated correctly. The Tank full status LED turns off and operation continues.

Note:

Clean the water tank every 7 days. Remove any scale, deposits, or film that has formed on the sides of the tank or on interior surfaces, and wipe all surfaces dry.

Warning

Micro-organisms that may be present in the water or in the environment where the appliance is used or stored, can grow in the water reservoir.

Drainage hose

Fig. 3 In very humid rooms or for longer periods of operation, the drain can be carried out via the condensation water hose so that the tank no longer needs to be emptied.

• Push the separately provided condensation water hose as far as possible onto the upper drain.
• Insert the other end of the condensation hose into a suitable container or nearby drain, with the end of the hose below the condensation drain. Ensure that the connected container is big enough, respectively, that the outlet hose is securely fastened to the drain.

Caution:

When using the condensation hose, the device will run. Please note that the hose must not be kinked and must run sloping downwards along its entire length, otherwise water could flow back into the device and damage it.

Note:

• Always cover the drain outlets when not in use.
- Observe the decommissioning instructions in the respective section, if the product is not to be used for a longer period of time.

Troubleshooting

If there are any problems during operation, please refer to the following table. If the problems cannot be solved as indicated under Solution, please contact your sales agent.

Warning

Only perform the steps described within this instruction manually. All further inspection, maintenance and repair work must be performed by an authorised service centre or a similarly qualified specialist.

Problem Possible cause	Solution
Dehumidifier does not start	The dehumidifier is unplugged	Make sure the dehumidifier's plug is pushed completely into the outlet
	The fuse is blown / circuit breaker is tripped	Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace fuse or reset breaker
	Dehumidifier has reached its present level or the bucket is full	The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either condition occurs. Change to a lower setting or empty the water bucket and replace properly
	Bucket is not in the proper position	The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate
	Power Failure There is a protective time delay (up to 3 min.) to prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this reason, the unit may not start normal dehumidify for 3 min after it is powered back on
Dehumidifier does not dry the air as it should	Not enough time allowed for unit to remove moisture	When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain the desired dryness
	Airflow is restricted Make sure	there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier. See the CHOOSING A LOCATION section
	Dirty filter Follow the instructions for cleaning the filter
	The Humidity Control may not be set low enough	For drier air, press the “-” button to lower the percent humidity desired in the room, or set the dehumidifier to Cont. for maximum dehumidify
	Doors and windows may not be closed tightly	Check that all doors, windows, and other openings are securely closed
	Clothes dryer may be blowing moist air into the room	Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer.The dryer should be vented outside
	Room temperature is too low	Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures. Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture removal rate.This model is designed to operate at temperatures above 5 °C (41 °F)
Appliance runs too long	The area is too large The capacity of the appliance can not meet the area of the room
	Doors and windows are open	Close the door and window
Frost appears on heat-exchanger	Appliance run recently or the room temperature is too low	It is normal, frost usually disappear in 60 min
Fan noise	The air is passing through the appliance	This is normal
Water on the floor	The drain connection may be aging or loose	Check the drain connection and the appliance is placed level
	The drain pipe is connected, but the water is not drained	If use the bucket, remove the drain pipe and put back the drain cover; or install the drain pipe correctly

Note:

Murmur of water is heard when the product is operating. It is a normal sound of the coolant circulating in the system.

Protection and error codes

Code Cause

EH Humidity sensor failure

E2 Temperature sensor failure

E3 Gas leakage

Note:

Contact the service centre if errors occur repeatedly.

Note:

- This product contains non-fluorinated greenhouse gas (hermetically sealed) which is dangerous for the environment and contributes to global warming if released to the atmosphere.

• Refrigerant type: R290

• Global warming potential (GWP): 3

- Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP) would contribute less to global warming than a refrigerant with higher GWP, if leaked to the atmosphere.

- This product contains a refrigerant fluid with a GWP equal to 3. This means that if 1 kg of this refrigerant fluid would be leaked to the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be 3 times higher than 1 kg of CO₂, over a period of 100 years. Never try to interfere with the refrigerant circuit yourself or disassemble the product yourself and always ask a professional.
