After transporting or tilting (angled positions) the
device, do not plug into the power socket for at
least 1 hour.
Make sure that the unit has an air-gap distance
of approx. 1 m towards the front and the back so
that it can draw in enough air.
Keep the unit away from heaters or heat-
generating equipment.
Never pour or spray water over the unit.
Never use the power plug to switch the unit on or
off.
Always use the switch on the control panel.
Before you move the unit, switch it off with the
On/Off button, pull out the power plug and empty
the water tank.
Clean the air filter before it becomes heavily
soiled. The unit works best with a clean filter.
Never use insect spray or any other combustible
cleaning agents on the unit.
If the unit develops a fault, switch it off, pull out
the power plug and notify your service partner.
If the power cable for the appliance is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
after-sales service or similarly trained personnel
to avoid danger.
Starting up (Fig. 2)
Notes:
To achieve an optimum circulation of air it is
recommended that the appliance be set up in the
middle of the room as far as possible.
Avoid open windows and doors and entering and
leaving the room frequently, etc.
The appliance must never be used in excessively
dusty rooms or rooms with excessive amounts of
chlorine.
The dehumidifying performance of the appliance
is dependent on the characteristics of the room,
the room temperature and the relative humidity.
If the condensate container is not fitted correctly,
the appliance will not work.
To prevent high starting currents the appliance is
equipped with a restart inhibit which only restarts
the compressor after a delay of 3 minutes.
Check that the voltage on the rating plate is the
same as your supply voltage.
If the appliance is connected to the mains supply
but is not operational, the ”Power” LED shines
red. As soon as the appliance is switched on the
“Power” LED shines green.
a) To switch on:
1. When the rotary switch is turned all the way to
the right (I), the air is dehumidified continuously.
The unit is in operation all the time.
2. The further the rotary switch is turned to the right
(towards the small arrow head), the lower the
selected humidity level (> 40%). The further the
rotary switch is turned to the left, the higher the
selected humidity level (< 90%).
b) To switch off:
1. To switch the unit off, turn the rotary switch all
the way to the left (0).
2. Pull the plug out of the socket.
3. Remove the condensate collector, empty it and
put it back in position.
Emptying the condensate
container (Fig. 3)
Notes:
If the condensate collector is full, the unit will
switch off automatically. The “W.F.” LED for the
condensate collector flashes and an alert signal
sounds for a few seconds. The “Power” LED
remains green.
If the condensate collector is not replaced
properly after emptying, the “W.F.” LED carries
on flashing.
1. Hold the collector by the handle, pull slightly
upwards and remove carefully.
2. After emptying the collector, put in back properly
into position.
Operation with an external
condensate drain (Fig. 3)
Notes:
Please note: To prevent water damage, make
sure that the condensate drains properly at all
times.
Please note: If the water is very cold you will
have to take appropriate measures to prevent
the water from freezing in the drainage hose.
It is recommended that the condensate be
drained off to a drain which is at a lower level. If
you use an external collecting container (e.g. a
trough), the appliance must be positioned at a
higher level accordingly.
The drainage hose must be fitted with a gradient.
Do not kink the hose or allow it to become
clogged.
If the drainage hose becomes clogged, the
condensate must drain to the condensate
container from the overflow.
