Operating manual dehumidifier TTK 170 S

3. Clean the air intake filter in accordance with the

instructions.

4. Protect the apparatus from dust, possibly

with a plastic cover.

5. Store the apparatus in an upright position in a place

where it is protected from dust and direct sunlight.

Filter cleaning

The dehumidifier is equipped with an air intake filter to prevent
damage. To avoid damage to the apparatus or a reduction in
performance, the air intake filter is to be checked and cleaned
when necessary, but at least every two weeks.

1. To switch off the appliance, press the mains switch

so that it is in operating mode ‘0’.

2. Remove the holder from the air filter.

3. Pull out the air filter.

4. Clean the air intake filter with warm water or with a vacu-

um cleaner (diagram G).

5. Remove heavy soiling by washing in warm soapy water,

max. 40 °C. Then rinse in fresh water (diagram G).

6. Please note that the air intake filter must be undamaged

and must be dry before insertion.

The apparatus must never be operated
without an air intake filter installed !

Transportation of the apparatus

The appliance is equipped with a handrail that can be attached
in a horizontal or vertical position for ergonomic transport. The
handrail is installed horizontally in the delivery condition.

Due to the large wheels, the grip recesses on both sides and
the ergonomic adjustable handrail, the transport of the TTK
170 S can be accomplished easily by one person, even over
difficult terrain or on stairs.

When transporting the appliance it must be kept upright.

In order to avoid transport damage, always ensure that the ap-
pliance is secured reliably.

Furthermore, the appliances can be stacked to save storage
space.

Each time before transporting:

• Before moving the apparatus, switch it off and remove

the mains plug from the socket.

• Then empty the condensate container. Please watch

out for subsequent dripping condensate.

• Do not pull the apparatus by its mains cable.

Care and maintenance

Regular preventative maintenance and observation of certain
prerequisites will guarantee fault-free operation and a long
service life.

After every period of prolonged operation, and at least once
per year, the apparatus should be checked and thoroughly
cleaned.

All moving parts have been treated with low-maintenance
permanent lubrication. The entire refrigeration system is
a maintenance-free hermetically-sealed system and may
only be maintained by authorised specialist companies.

The mains plug must be removed from
the mains socket before any work is carried
out on the apparatus!

• Keep the apparatus free from dust or any other deposits.

• Only use a dry or damp cloth to clean the apparatus.

Do not use running water.

• Do not use cleaning agents that are caustic or contain

solvents and only use appropriate cleaning agents even
in the case of heavy soiling.

• Check the air intake filter regularly for fouling. It should

be cleaned or replaced as necessary.



Work on the refrigeration system and the electri-
cal equipment may only be carried out by an
authorised & qualified company !

Cleaning the condenser and evaporator

This work requires the apparatus housing to be opened,
and therefore may only be carried out by authorised
& qualified companies!

• Clean the condenser and the evaporator either by blowing

or sucking them through, or by using a soft brush. Do not
use running water.

• Please note that the fins can easily be damaged or bent.

• Carefully clean the inside surfaces of the apparatus, the

condensate pan with hose connection, the ventilator and
the ventilator housing.

• Reinstall all dismounted parts correctly

• Check that the apparatus is functioning correctly

and carry out an electrical safety examination.

Important recycling information!

The apparatus uses the environmentally-friendly and ozone-
neutral refrigerant R134a. In accordance with legal stipula-
tions, or those that apply locally, the refrigerant/oil mixture
used in the apparatus must be disposed of correctly.

In the European Union electronic equipment
must not be treated as domestic waste, but
must be disposed of professionally in
accordance with Directive 2002/96EU of the
European Parliament and Council of 27th

January 2003 concerning old electrical and electronic
equipment. At the end of its life please dispose of this
instrument in a manner appropriate to the relevant legal
requirements.

Troubleshooting

The fault-free operation of the apparatus has been confirmed
by repeated tests at the factory. However, if a loss of function
should occur, please check the apparatus in accordance with
the following list.

The apparatus will not start:

• Check the mains connection. 230 V / 1~ / 50 Hz.

• Check the inbuilt mains fuse.

• Check the mains plug for damage.

The apparatus runs, but no
condensation formation:

• Check the fluid level in the condensate tank.

The ‘tank full’ indicator lamp must not be lit.

• Check the microswitch of the condensate tank rocker.

• Check the room temperature. The working range

of the apparatus is between 5 and 32 °C.

• Check the air humidity: minimum 35 % relative humidity.

• Check which operating mode is set. The humidity of the

room air in which the unit is operating must be above the
selected range. If necessary, turn the rotary control switch
clockwise towards permanent operation (figure D.5).

• Check the air intake filter for fouling. Clean or replace

it if necessary.

• Have the heat exchanger fins checked for soiling.

This examination requires the apparatus to be opened
up and hence must be carried out by an authorised
specialist company.



The mains plug must be removed from the
mains socket before any work is carried out
on the apparatus.

The apparatus is making a lot of noise or
vibrates, condensate is running out:

• Check that the apparatus is standing upright on

a level surface.

• Have the condensate pan and connection piece checked

for fouling.

If the apparatus does not function correctly after carrying
out the above checks, please contact an authorised
specialist company.
