FIRST USE / OPERATION
1.
Place the device on a stable and water-proof surface. Do not place directly on a carpeted or
wooden floor. Important: to ensure that the compressor has not sustained any damage after
transportation of the device, wait at least an hour before operation. This allows the coolant/
lubricant to settle again and avoids damage to the compressor (no warranty).
2.
Check whether there is any packing material in the water tank. Pull out both of the opening
flaps (13) on the water tank (snap into place). If there is no packaging material in the tank,
slide the tank back into place (it should snap into position).
3.
Plug in the power plug (all LEDs will light up red briefly).
4.
For optimal functioning, close the windows and doors.
5.
Turn on the device using the «POWER» button . The red «RUN» control display will light up,
the air outlet flaps will open and the fan and compressors will start. Press the button again
to switch off the device.
Good to know:
– If the dehumidifier has been turned off shortly beforehand, the compressor will start with up
to 3 minutes’ delay (= protective function).
– If «WATER FULL» is lit up, the water tank is full and needs to be emptied
à
see page «17».
The compressor will remain switched off until the emptied tank is reinserted.
– The device must not be connected to a timer or switched socket/cable connector (dan-
ger of damage to compressor).
– «DEFROST» Defros process started
à
see page «17».
6.
Other displays / available settings:
–
«SPEED»: Changing of air volume - low «1»/high «2». After switching on, the device will
operate with a high output («2» will light up).
–
«TIMER»: Device switches on or off automatically after 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours.
– «HUMID»: Set humidity. After switching on, the device will operate on continuous opera-
tion («CONTINUE»). This is useful with a very high humidity level or to dehumidify the room
as quickly as possible. If the room in question is in frequent use, the «50 %» relative hu-
midity setting is recommended. Once the required level of humidity has been reached, the
compressor will switch off until the humidity level increases again. The fan will continue to
operate so that the humidity can be measured.
7.
«WATER FULL» = Water tank is full:
– Bei When the water tank is full, the compressor will switch off and «WATER FULL» will
light up.
–
Remove water tank:
Pull out the two opening flaps (13) on the reverse of the tank. Hold
these and pull the tank out. Pull up the blue carry handle to carry the tank comfortably
then empty down the sink. The white lid on top does not need to be removed to empty the
tank.
–
Reset water tank:
Reposition water tank until it snaps into place. «WATER FULL» will dis-
appear and the compressor will start again.
–
Good to know
:
Do not use the water for other purposes because it also contains dirt particles from the air.
Wash the inside of the tank with warm water and a normal detergent at least once a
month for hygiene reasons. First, remove the white tank lid (22) (hold the front edge of
the lid, swivel up slightly and then pull away from yourself). Do not place the tank or lid in a
dishwasher or clean with an abrasive agent otherwise the parts may become damaged.
8.
Water outlet pipe:
– When the device is situated in a room with a wastewater drainage system in the ground,
the water can be channelled here directly. The tank will then not be filled and will no longer
need to be emptied. A tube will be required for this (not included). This should have an in-
ternal/external diameter of 8/10 mm.
– Remove the rubber cover from the connector pipe (10) and then place the tube over the
pipe.
–
Good to know
:
The tube must be positioned such that it lies level. It should not be angled upwards be-
cause this will stop the water from draining away.
9.
Automatische Automatic defrosting:
– The «
DEFROST
» display will light up when the temperature of the evaporator reaches ap-
prox. –1 °C and has formed a layer of ice. This may be the case after approx. 20 minutes
of continuous operation or at lower room temperatures. The compressor will then switch
off and the defrosting process begins. The fan will continue to operate and the water from
defrosting will be channelled directly into the water tank. If the ice on the evaporator is
melted within 5 minutes, the compressor will start again automatically and «DEFROST»
will light up. If not, the device will switch off after 20 minutes (= compressor protective
function).
10.
Protective circuits:
– Your dehumidifier will be monitored constantly by a protective circuit. This will automatical-
ly switch off the compressor in the event of any malfunction. This prevents the compres-
sor from being directly switched on again and overloaded after being switched off. It will
only be switched back on after 1-3 minutes.
– The protective circuit also monitors the temperature of the device; if this falls below 0 °C
or rises above 40 °C, the device will switch off or will be unable to operate. The device can
only start to operate again when the temperature falls within the specified range and the
power plug is removed and re-inserted (= «Re-set»).
– After a power cut, the device will switch back on using the previous settings.
Important
:
For safety reasons, the device cannot be switched on or off with a timer, switched socket
etc. (compressor may become damaged)!
11.
Hygrostat:
– The integrated hygrostat constantly measures the humidity and manages the dehumidifi-
cation process.
–
Good to know
:
The standard tolerances of an integrated hygrostat are +/- 5%. This means that the ef-
fective relative humidity will fluctuate accordingly.
