Operating principle

Pic.1 – Main components
The appliance uses a fan (5) to suck up the air (14) to be dehumidi-
fied and pass it through the refrigerator circuit evaporator (9). In this
way the temperature of the air is lowered to below its dew point and the
vapour condenses to form drops of water that are collected in the ap-
propriate tank (11).
E
The water collected inside the tank is NOT drinkable.
Do NOT drink this water anyway.
The air thus dehumidified is passed through the condenser (10) that
raises its temperature slightly higher than the initial value. In this way
the quantity of humidity contained in the environmental air is gradually
decreased until it reaches the desired value.
C
When the dehumidifier work in a room it reduces the
humidity of the walls and floor of the room, as well as
the materials contained therein, is also lowered.
The defrosting cycle
If the temperature goes below 16°C ice may form on the evaporator
(9). The ice must be regularly melted to avoid it reduces the air passage.
The electronic board automatically performs the defrosting cycle (see
ahead). During the defrosting cycle the compressor (6) stops. The time it
takes to melt the ice changes with the humidity and temperature.
Condensate collecting tank
Pic.2 – The tank
The tank is placed behind the front door. It is fitted with a floating device
that stops the dehumidifier when the tank is full.
How to empty the tank
Open the front door and take out the tank as shown on Pic.2 . Use the
sliding open (L) on the top of the tank to flow the water out. Finally put
the tank back into his place and close the front door.
Continuous drainage
The tank is ready to fit the continuous drainage: the installation is very
simple and then you will not need to empty the tank manually anymore.
To install the continuous drainage follow these instructions (Pic.3):
• Remove the rubber stopper (T);
• Connect a rubber hose with an internal diameter of 10 millimetres to
the connector on the tank and run it through the hole F on the bot-
tom of the dehumidifier;
• Put the tank back into his place and close the door.
E
ATTENTION: to guarantee regular drainage of the
water, make sure that the drainpipe has a slope and is
straight, without any bends or constrictions. On any
case the floating device inside the tank is active and
will stop the dehumidifier when full.
The air filter
The air is placed behind the front grid and can be easily removed for
cleaning. The air filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or with
water: in this case dry it before assembly.
C
Do not run the dehumidifier without the air filter to
avoid accumulating dust on the heat exchanger. Keep
clean the air filter in particular when al lot of dust is
present in the air: a dirty air filter reduces the air flow
and the efficiency of the dehumidifier.
How to remove the air filter
Pull the front grid upward: the air filter is behind the grid.
