Water drainage:
∙ If the water tank is full, then a red light will go on and the appliance will stop wor-
king. Wait ca 15min before the water tank is removed. Residual water can drop into
the water tank at that time. Remove the water tank carefully, that the floater is not
damaged and pour out the water (Fig 1+2).
∙ The water is not suitable for personal usage (drinking, washing etc.).
∙ After the water tank is inserted wait for ca 3min then the appliance can be restar-
ted.
Continuous drainage:
With a pipe (not supplied with the appliance, can be ordered at Steba as an additional
accessory), which is applied to the water out hole (Fig3), the water can be drained into
a sink. Take care that the appliance is not placed lower than the sink. Remove the water
tank and attach the pipe at the water out hole. Insert the water tank carefully again.
Defrost:
At room temperatures bellow 5°C the appliance will defrost. The compressor stops
working, the fan keeps running. At the panel the „Defrost“ lamp is on.
Cleaning and maintenance:
∙ Before cleaning the appliance the humidity regulator should be turned to “Off”

maged. Rinse the tank every 2 weeks with a normal wash-up liquid.
