BEFORE FIRST USE
Before first use, take the appliance and its accessories out of the packaging material
and remove all promotional labels and stickers. Check that neither the appliance nor
any of its parts is damaged.
Note:
Travel wheels

may be removed on certain models. Screw the travel wheels
to the underside of the appliance prior to using it.
Do not travel over carpets, door thresholds or other obstacles with the wheels.
This could damage them.
Do not move the appliance when the condensate tank is full.
Certain models may also be supplied without travel wheels
A7
.
Installing the power cord holder
When planning on not using the appliance and preparing to store it, install the holder
that serves to conveniently store the power cord.
Insert the holder into the cut-out at the rear of the appliance – see figure C.
INSTALLATION LOCATION OF THE APPLIANCE
Locate the appliance on an even, dry and stable surface within reach of a properly
grounded power socket.
Do not use the appliance outdoors.
To ensure sufficient air circulation, leave at least 20 cm of free space around the sides
of the appliance.
Locate the appliance in a room where temperature does not fall below 5 °C. If the
temperature were to fall below 5 °C, there is a risk of frost forming inside the appliance,
which would reduce its efficiency.
Do not locate the appliance in the vicinity of dryers, heating devices and other sources
of heat.
Use the appliance in locations where humidity could damage books or other valuable
items.
The appliance must be used in a closed room in order to ensure its maximum
effectiveness. Therefore, close the doors and windows of the given room.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The dehumidifier is used for drying out, for example, flooded basements, rooms with
an increased level of moisture, etc. Do not use it in areas where substances or items are
stored requiring precise room temperature and humidity control.
If using the appliance for the first time, it is important to allow it to run continuously
for 24 hours.
Use the appliance at an ambient temperature in the range 5 °C – 32 °C (41 °F – 90 °F)
and humidity in the range 30 % - 80 %.
Always wait at least 3 minutes before turning the appliance on again.
Do not connect the appliance to a power socket to which another appliance is already
connected. We recommend connecting the appliance to an independent circuit.
Make sure that the condensate tank is correctly installed in the appliance, otherwise the
appliance may not function correctly.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Make sure that the appliance is located in a suitable place and that it is correctly
assembled. Then insert the power plug into a power socket.
Turning on / off
Press button

again.
The appliance will turn off automatically if the condensate tank
A3
is full or incorrectly
installed.
If you turn the appliance off and then need to turn it on again quickly thereafter, the
appliance will start again after approximately 3 minutes. This function protects the
compressor against damage.
The appliance is equipped with an automatic restart function (AUTO-RESTART) for the
event of a power outage. Settings will remain stored in the memory of the appliance, and
after power is restored, the appliance will automatically start in the previously set mode.
When you have finished using it, turn off the appliance and disconnect the power cord
from the power socket.
