Unit Description
This unit is designed to provide simple, universal and
fully automatic dehumidification.
It can be moved and set up with ease thanks to its com-
pact dimensions.
The dehumidifier works according to the condensation
principle and is equipped with a hermetically sealed
cooling system and a quiet, low-maintenance radial fan
as well as a power cable and plug.
The unit’s fully automatic control system, continuously
adjustable hygrostat, condensation collection tank with
integrated overflow protection and hose connections for
the direct disposal of condensation guarantee trouble-
free long-term use.
This dehumidifier conforms with the basic safety and
consumer health requirements outlined in the relevant
EU regulations to ensure its safe, simple deployment.
Function
Switching the unit on activates its fan and compressor.
The device operates on the condensation principle.
The fan draws humid air from the front of the unit
across an air filter, the vaporizer, and the condenser be-
hind it.
Heat is removed from the air by the vaporizer . The air
is cooled to below the dew point and the water vapor in
the air condenses as liquid water or frost on the blades
of the vaporizer.
The vaporizer is defrosted by hot gas as required.
The condenser (heat exchanger) warms the cooled, de-
humidified air and releases it into the room at approx.
10° to 15° above the ambient temperature.
The air that has been dehumidified in this manner thus
mixes with the surrounding air. The continuous circula-
tion of the room air through the unit will thus reduce the
humidity in the room to the desired relative humidity.
Depending on the air temperature and relative humidity,
condensation either drips into the
condensation trap
continuously or during the periodic defrosting phases.
From there it passes through the integrated outlet into
the
condensation tank located below it.
Condensation can also be released via a hose to a drain
below the unit during unattended long-term operation.
The condensation tank is equipped with a float and mi-
cro switch that stops the dehumidifier when the tank is
full.
The unit switches off and the red warning lamp (TANK
FULL) will light up.
The warning light will go out and the unit will restart
when the emptied condensation tank has been re-
placed.
In continuous operation the condensation is continu-
ously release via a hose connection.
The unit will then remain in operation until the required
humidity has been reached.

Place of operation
The dehumidifier can be used in any room in which a
dry atmosphere is required and in which excess humid-
ity may result in damage (e.g. through mold or rot).
This unit is intended primarily for dehumidification of
closed spaces such as:
◊
residential or basement rooms
◊
laundry or shower rooms
◊
weekend cottages, campers
◊
sports boats, yachts, etc.
or for the continuous dehumidification of:
◊
storage rooms, archives, laboratories
◊
baths, washing and locker rooms, etc.
This unit may only be used as described in this
manual.
Other applications constitute improper use and
will void the unit’s warranty.
