observe this procedure, irreparable
damage may be caused
to
the compressor. Then one can proceed and connect the dehumidifier
plug to a 230 V - one phase power socket.
The red light 'POWER' will switch on confirming correct supply of power to the machine. If the light 'WORKING' is still off, turn
clockwise the knob on the control panel till the light 'WORKING’ is ON. The light 'DEFROST (PAUSE) will also switch on and , after
about 5 minutes the dehumidifier
will start dehumidifying.
When the red light is “ON” (ALARM), the machine wiil not start: one must check that the water tank be empty and, then, that be set in
correctly; with the machines provided with pump, check that the pump function be working and that the delivry pump may be clear.
AND IF THE DEHUMIDIFIER DOES NOT START OR DEHUMIDIFY ?
First make sure that the red light 'POWER' is 'ON': this means that the current is fed to the machine. If the power supply light is not
on, make sure that the connecting wire plug may be properly inserted into a main line socket in the room. After checking all this, if the
power light is still off, then call the dealers service.
Make sure that the green light '
FULL' be off
; If this is not the case, check the correct position of the draining pipe (see point 4.)
Make sure that the red light 'RUNNING' be 'on'; this means that the Humidostat activates the functioning of the machine. When the
dehumidifier is set again to functioning, after an idle period due to the reaching of the preset humidity or after emptying the water
tank, if the Humidostat requires functioning of the machine, then beside the two red central lights, also the red light 'Pause' will light
up. During this 5 minutes long phase, only the motor fan is running whereas the compressor is off. This operating cycle take place
every 45 minutes to allow the defrosting of the cooler. When the red light 'Pause' will remain off for a period longer than 6 minutes,
the dehumidifier should be brought to Dealer's service centre.
When the machine appears to be working correctly ( the two central red lights are on), but it is not producing condensed water or
produces only very little condensed water, it should be checked whether the relative humidity in the room may be lower than
40.45%; if the relative humidity is higher than that, the machine should be controlled by the dealer's service.
6. CONNECTION TO A DRAIN PIPE - LIFTING PUMP (optional)
This dehumidifier a
This dehumidifier can be connected directly with a fixed draining
pipe; in this case, the water tank must be removed to allow for the
connection of the pipe to the connection fitting.
For the connection, use one pipe provided with a ¾” female fitting
at one end.
In the machines with ball-cock, if the water tank is not fitted in,
the machine will not work.
Some have machines have a switch in order to allow the
functioning without water tanks, in other machines one must
modify the tongue-shaped device placed near the ball-cock.
In the machines with tank placed in the front, one special fitting,
which is supplied with the machine, must be placed on the right
upper side of the water tank room, and must be used also the
supplied rubber device to block the microswitch lever which is
located on the left upper side of the water tank towards the front
part.

Machines with condensed water lifting pumps
This machine includes a condensed water lifting pump.
Put the rubber pipe of the pump supply in a waste pipe or similar. Pay attention
that the pipe be no choked up because of eventual narrow bends.
The pump will work automatically, controlled by a ball cock placed inside the
pump.
Before moving the machine, push the button placed on the pump to empty the
tank of the pump.
If the pump cannot work correctly, the compressor stops and the green light
turns on. In this case, check the pipe situation. Maximum head working
pressure of the pump is about 3.5-4 meters.
7. PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER CLEANING
The only required periodical maintenance is the cleaning of the filter
once every month,
or more often if the enviroment is very
dusty or the dehumidifier is working for many hours every day.
The cleaning must be done by placing the filter under a water jet with the drilled panel facing the floor so that the water jet may push
the filter towards the drilled panel.
After a few years running, may be necessari to make a cleaning of the warm heat exchanger (condenser) by using compressed air.
This operation must be done by a specialized technician. This cleaning will improve the performaces and the long life of the machine.
