ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION:
This unit contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Pro-
tocol. Avoid perforating the refrigerant circuit of the
appliance.
Maintenance and disposal must be carried out by qual-
ified personnel only (R410A, GWP=2088); (R134a,
GWP=1430).
• R410A and R134a are refrigerant gases that comply with
EC environmental regulations, nevertheless avoid perfo-
rating the refrigerant circuit of the appliance.
At the end of its service life, the dehumidifier must be dis-
posed of at a suitable collection center.
• The materials used for packaging can be recycled.
• You are therefore recommended to dispose of them in spe-
cial differentiated waste collection containers.

also be given these instructions.
• Failure to respect the instructions may result in injury or
damage to the appliance.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage deriving from
failure to follow these instructions.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:
• The outlet, power supply corresponds to the working volt-
age indicated on the rating plate.
• The power outlet, and electrical circuit are adequate for the
appliance.
• The power outlet, matches the plug. If this is not the case,
have the plug replaced by a qualified electrician;
• The outlet is properly grounded.
INSTALLATION
Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified.
A free space of at least 2 ft (61 cm) must be left at the front of
the dehumidifier, so as not to block the air outlet. For efficient
ventilation a space of about 2-4 in (5- 10 cm) should be left at
the back of the appliance.
Mounting the carbon filter
Remove the air filter as shown (fig. 7) and after having removed
the carbon filter from its plastic bag position it in the air filter
as shown in figures below. Then, mount the assembled filters
in the machine.
Drainage options:
The condensate can be drained in one of the following ways:
A) Draining into the tank
The condensate can be drained directly into the tank. The tank
can be easily removed (fig.1).
When the tank is full, remove and empty it into a sink. When
finished, replace it properly.
NOTE:
The tank must be positioned properly for the unit to
function.
If you hear an intermittent beaping sound, it means the tank is
not in the proper position.
B) Continuous external draining
If the appliance is to be operated for long periods but you are
unable to empty the tank regularly, you are recommended to
use continuous draining.
