Introduction
The machines of the DRYCLIM series are air dehumidifiers whose aim is to remove humidity from the envi-
ronment by using a refrigerating circuit (fig.2) supplied with the non-pollutant gas R134a and provided with a
defrosting system (see below).
Working mode
The air is sucked up by the apparatus and passed through the evaporator of the refrigeration circuit (fig.2). In
this way, the air temperature is being reduced below its dew point and the steam condesates into water dro-
plets which are collected in the appropriate tank (see below).The pollution level of the collected water is pro-
portional to the pollution level of the environment. The dehumidified air is then passed through the condenser
(5), that raises its temperature up to a value that is slightly higher than the initial one. Consequently, the
amount of humidity contained in the ambient air is being gradually reduced until the established value is rea-
ched. This also involves a humidity reduction in the walls and in the floor of the room, and also in the materials
contained in it.
Defrosting
When the ambient temperature lowers below 20°C, ice may form on the evaporator (4) (fig.2). In the dehumidi-
fiers of the DRYCLIM series, the coil defrosting takes place automatically. When the evaporator temperature
probe of the dehumidifier read a value close to 0°C, a defrosting cycle starts. After about 30 minutes of opera-
ting functioning, the compressor stops only the evaporator works.
When the yellow light of the operator control panel is on (fig.1), it means that the dehumidifier is carrying out
the defrosting. The defrosting cycle stops when the evaporator temperature reach 3-4°C.
Condensation tank
When in the condensation tank the maximum level of water is reached, the dehumidifier stops and the red
light (3) of the control panel turns on (fig.1). To empty the tank, open the front door of the unit, remove the
tank and empty it. In order to start again the unit, simply insert again the tank into the appropriate compartment.
NOTA BENE: the red light (3) indicates not only if the water tank is full but also if is absent or not properly fitted.
As long as the red light (3) is on, the unit absolutely cannot operate.
It is also possible to obtain the continuous water drain by connecting a rubber pipe with an inner diameter of
10mm to the connection situated in the lower part of the basin. In order to let the pipe out of the unit, utilize
the appropriate hole at the bottom of the dehumidifier. Check if the pipe drain is normal.
Installation instructions
The dehumidifiers of the DRYCLIM series have to be simply introduced into the enclosed space to be dehumi-
dified and activated. In order to reach the maximum efficiency, the following rules must be observed:
• make sure that in the enclosed space where the dehumidifier is placed the limit working conditions of the
machine are never exceeded (tab.2);
• the room where the dehumidifier is placed must be closed;
• the unit must always operate in a vertical position, with the four wheels at the bottom;
• the dehumidifier has to be placed so as the grids of the air input and output are allowed to be free
(at least 10cm);
• check that the supply voltage is in conformity with that indicated in the tab.2 and that the installation is
com plying with the laws in force.
• it is recommended to place the dehumidifier in the coldest spot of the room and where normally
humidity builds up.
Positioning
In order to move the humidifier, slide it on the floor utilizing the appropriate revolving wheels which it is provi-
ded with. It is advisable to place the humidifier near the socket.
Start up
Plug the machine into a 230V, 50Hz socket provided with a connection to the ground and rotate the humidistat
(fig.1) knob (1). The different positions of the humidistat allow achieving different levels of dehumidification
according to the data shown in the tab.1.
Maintenance
The dehumidifiers of the DRYCLIM series do not require a special maintenance care. It is advisable to dust
the dehumidifier and keep clean the air input and output grids. In case of malfunctioning or breakdown, apply
to the local dealer. The power supply cable has a type M connection, in case of damaging, the cable must be
replaced with an original one (see the drawing with the spare-part references on page 14).
NOTA BENE: before working on the machine, unplug it!
Storage
• Keep the unit in an environment with a temperature ranging from -25°C to +55°C.
• When the machine is still packed, observe the indications on the box.
• Do not put heavy objects on the box.
Required check before and after a long time of inactivity:
Before
• Unplug and empty the condensation tank;
• Cover the machine in order to guard it from dust.
After
• The fan must rotate freely without any friction.
• The machine must be installed properly.
Disposal of the product
The machine is essentially made of recyclable plastic and metal. Before disposing of the product, it is advisa-
ble to separate the metal parts from the plastic ones and to eliminate water from the tank. Furthermore, the
machine is provided with a refrigeration circuit, and so it is necessary to remove the gas and oil in it by tur-
ning to a specialized firm.
