Function principle
This air dehumidifier works on the basis of the con-
densation principle.
Room air is sucked through a refrigerating element
where water vapour in the air condense as water
droplets. Then, the water droplets flow into a conden-
sation water bowl and further into the water container
while the dried cold air is piped through the condens-
er of the device, heated and blown
again into the room. The temperature of the blown
out air is approx. 2-5 °C above the room temperature.
This increase of heat is caused by power introduced
in the compressor and fan and by heat which is re-
leased by the condensation of the water vapour.
The relative humidity of air is gradually reduced
thanks to continuous recirculation of the room air
through the device resulting in a quick and gentle
drying of the room.
Water vapours move easily and unhindered through
the air. Therefore, it is essential to "seal" the room
as tight as possible. That means doors and windows
must kept closed and entering and leaving the room
should be restricted if possible. Otherwise the drying
efficiency of the device is considerably impaired.
5. Safety information
These operating instructions provide places concern-
ing your safety which are marked with this indication:
m
Furthermore this manual contains other important
sections which are marked with the word "Atten-
tion".
m Attention!
While using the machine some safety precautions
must be observed to prevent injuries and damage.
Read the directions with due care. If you give the
equipment to any other person, give them these op-
erating instructions as well. We assume no liability for
injuries or damages which are a results of noncompli-
ance of this manual and its safety notes.
m DANGER
Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious
danger to life of danger or fatal injuries.
m WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may cause danger
to life or danger of serious injuries.
m CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions may cause light to
medium risk of injury.
m NOTE
Failure to follow these instructions may cause danger
of damage of the engine or other property values.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
m WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions may result in electric shock, fire and/or se-
rious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground-
ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
