Children and physically or mentally impaired persons:
These dehumidifiers may be operated by children at least 8 years old and physically or mentally impaired
persons if:
•
they are adequately supervised.
•
they have been provided with instructions concerning safe operation of the device.
•
they understand the associated risks.
Neither cleaning nor maintenance may be entrusted to children or physically or mentally impaired persons.
Place the control panel out of the reach of children to prevent them from operating the device.
Electrical safety:
•
Install the machine in compliance with the regulations in effect in the country of installation (notably
electrical regulations), notably, respect safety distances from water.
•
DH dehumidifiers are not electrically protected against the intrusion of water (rain, splashing).
In France, regulations (standard C 15-100) stipulate the following:
•
The dehumidifier should be installed at a distance of more than 3 m from a bath, private above-
ground spa or shower stall.
•
The dehumidifier should be installed at a distance of more than 3.5 m from an in-ground spa or
pool.
•
A means to instantly cut power to the device must be installed at the head of the line (circuit
breaker or switch).
•
A thermal magnetic circuit breaker or fuse fuse with a breaking current rated for the
amperage of the device must be installed at the head of the line.
•
We strongly recommend installation of a 30mA (trip current) residual current device upstream from
their power supply.
•
Have the device wired in by a qualified professional.
•
At least once a year, check that electrical wire contacts are correctly tightened.
•
Check regularly that the power cable is in good condition, in the event of damage to the cable (cut,
crushed ,wear, etc.), have it replaced immediately by a qualified professional.
•
Always cut the power to the device upstream prior to any technical intervention on the device
(repair, maintenance).
•
The heating element (optional) must be installed by a qualified professional.
Fire prevention:
•
Do not use the dehumidifier to extract solvent vapours from the air, more generally, never use the
device in a inflammable or explosive atmosphere.
•
Do not store inflammable liquids or materials close to the device.
•
Do not splash liquids onto the device.
•
Do not insert objects through the slots in the grate, teach children not to do this either.
•
Do not obstruct air flow at the intake or exhaust grates by covering the machine with material, or
a box or by positioning the machine with the front face too close to a partition.
•
In the event of abnormal noise, odour or smoke, shut the dehumidifier down immediately and cut
the power supply. Never attempt to the repair the device yourself, contact your sales agent.
•
Leave a gap of at least 80 cm in front of the machine and 30 cm on either side of the machine in
order to facilitate technical interventions.
