5.1 I Appliance behaviour
The appliance is discharging
water
•
The appliance is discharging water, known as condensates. This water is the
humidity your dehumidifier condenses to dry the air.
The appliance is working but
the windows are covered in
water
• This is the dew point, which is the point at which the water vapour contained in
the air changes states when in contact with a cold surface. This is known as the
phenomenon of condensation. This does not mean your appliance is not working.
This phenomenon is normal, because of the presence of humidity in the air (65%
humidity in comfortable conditions), and a cold outside temperature.
The dehumidifier blows hot
air even though the heating
is absent or deactivated
•
The dehumidification function is based on the thermodynamic principle which
transforms part of the absorbed energy into heat, which is then transferred to the
ventilated air flow.
The appliance begins defrost-
ing
•
The dehumidifier's cooling circuit is affected by the local operating conditions.
Lower temperatures and the moisture content of the ambient air are more likely
to create frost.
•
To ensure its correct operation, the appliance eliminates all traces of frost by
initiating a short defrosting cycle lasting a few minutes.
The ventilation stays on even
when the setpoint tempera
-
ture(s) have been reached
•
Ventilation continues for a few minutes after the temperature and humidity
setpoints have been reached. This optimises the appliance's efficiency by evacuating
the residual calories in the batteries that are still hot.
The dehumidifier is not
working
•
Check it is correctly connected.
• Make sure the hygrostat is on.
The appliance is noisy
•
Make sure the appliance is solidly installed and is level.
If the problem is not resolved, contact your retailer.
