•
The appliance must be placed in a room without sources of ignition (for example: open
flames, an operating gas appliance or an operating electric heater).
•
R290 refrigerant gas complies with European environmental directives.
•
R290 has a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 3.
•
The unit contains about 280g of R290 refrigerant gas.
•
Do not use or store the appliance in an unventilated space with an area smaller than shown
in the specification table per unit.
•
If the appliance is installed, used or stored in an unventilated room, the room must be such
as to prevent stagnation of possible leaks of refrigerant gas as there could be a danger of fire
or explosion should the refrigerant come into contact with electric heaters, stoves or other
sources of ignition.
•
Refrigerant gas may be odourless.
•
Do not use the product and contact the retailer for advice, if damage has occurred to the unit
which may have compromised the refrigerant system.
•
Any repairs or maintenance must only be carried out on the unit by a suitably qualified
engineer. Before opening and servicing the unit the authorized engineer must be in
possession of a copy of the manufacturer’s service manual and must follow the safety
information contained within it to ensure all hazards are minimized.
•
The refrigerant system should not be perforated or punctured.
•
Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires, fireplaces, etc.)
•
Avoid mishandling the dehumidifier. Dropping, throwing the unit can cause damage to its
internals and increases the risks of operating it.
•
Do not store or use gasoline, petrol, paint, solvents or other flammable vapours or liquids in
the vicinity of this dehumidifier or any other appliance.
•
This dehumidifier must not be used in spaces where there is a high concentration of gases,
solvent or other volatile organic compounds; in very dusty environments; in any domestic,
commercial or industrial environment where the air composition is flammable.
ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS
•
Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills. Do not operate and follow
troubleshoot procedure if the self-opening louvers do not open on power on.
•
For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall or objects should be 20 cm
•
Keep the filters or grills of the unit clean. Under normal conditions, filters or grills should only
need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately).
•
Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe necessary,
depending on the air quality. Vacuum both mesh and optional carbon filters and wash the
mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry them before placing them back in the unit.
