Operating instructions
This booklet contains the information you will require to
understand and operate your new dehumidifier.
It is worth while spending a little time reading your instruc-
tions so you will understand fully how to operate the applian-
ce. Please keep this booklet handy – you may want to refer to
it at a later date.
Warning
This dehumidifier was built according to the regulations for
electrical household machines.
The refrigerant circuit has been proofed for leakage. The unit
has been proofed too, for EG regulations Nr. 82/499/EEC.
The compressor is filled with oil, during transportation with an
angle >45° this oil could move inside the circuit. To prevent
any damage of the unit during the first start, the unit should
not immediately run after transportation.
Please wait for 1 hour after transportation befor you start the
unit.
If the unit should be positioned near to a swimming pool, plea-
se install the unit fixed on a wall.
Futhermore, for safety we recommend to use an FI-protection
switch.
Introduction
Condensation has become a major problem in many homes.
Condensation is formed as a result of water vapour in the air
coming into contact with a cool surface. As the water vapour is
cooled it starts to condense and forms into droplets of water. Con-
densation will form on any cool surface within the home, for exam-
ple: windows, walls, ceilings and soft furnishings. If the condensa-
tion is left to accumulate it can cause deterioration of discolourati-
on to decor and soft furnishings and in more severe conditions
mould can grow.
High levels of humidity can also affect human beings causing dis-
comfort and in severe cases illness may occur.
With the use of an effective dehumidifier the humidity of the air can
be removed or reduced to an acceptable level.
How a dehumidiefier works
A dehumidifier extracts moisture from the air in your home by pas-
sing the air over cooling coils. As the air ist cooled the water vapour
in the air is condensed to water droplets which are then collected
in a collecting tank in the dehumidifier. This tank can then be emp-
tied when required.
Positioning your dehumidifier
The amount of moisture removed by your dehumidifier will vary
depending upon the location and the severity of dampness within
your home. Weather conditions will also affect the performance of
the dehumidifier: for example in very cold weather the performan-
ce will be reduced. Your dehumidifier may be positioned in a single
room allowing it to concentrate in a specific area or alternatively it
can be positioned centrally within a large area for example in a hall
way to reduce the level of humidity from more than one room at the
same time.
When positioning your dehumidifier ensure that it is placed on a
level surface and there is adequate spacing for air to flow through
the side vents of the unit. A minimum distance of 10 cm should be
allowed from any adjacent wall or furniture so as not to cause
obstruction which may reduce the performance. The dehumidifier
should not be placed near to radiators or any other heat source or
in direct sunlight as this would reduce the performance.
We do not recommend that vases or any other vessels containing
water be placed on the dehumidifier as water spillage would be
detrimental to the operation and safety of the appliance. If you wish
to move the dehumidifier it should be switched off at the on/off
switch and the water tank emptied.
When the dehumidifier is on operation windows and doors should
only be opened when necessary. This will prevent dehumidified air
being lost to the outside atmosphere and being replaced with moist
air. It should be noted that no domestic dehumidifier is capable of
completely eliminating condensation from your home, but your
dehumidifier will significantly reduce condensation and prevent
damp and mould growth in your home and damage to soft furnis-
hings.
The operating time to reduce moisture can vary dependent on the
area, the level of moisture and the weather temperature (i.e. the
time of year).
You should start to notice a reduction in condensation within a few
days of operation but it may take up to several weeks to comple-
tely remove moisture to an acceptable lavel.

Electrical connection

Your dehumidifier requires an electrical supply of 230 volts
- 50 cycles.
