Safety Instructions
Extensive tests have been conducted on the material,
functionality and quality of this unit before it was
shipped.
Hazards may nevertheless arise if the unit is used by
persons not familiar with its operation or if the unit is not
used for its intended purpose!
Please also make sure to follow these safety instruc-
tions.
◊
The unit may not be set up or operated in rooms
susceptible to explosions.
◊
The unit may not be set up and operated in rooms
whose atmosphere is contaminated by oil, sulfur,
chlorine or salt.
◊
The unit must be securely placed in an upright posi-
tion.
◊
The unit may not be exposed to a direct stream of
water.
◊
The air intake and outlet openings may never be
blocked.
◊
The air intake side must always be free of dirt and
loose objects.
◊
Never insert foreign objects into the unit.
◊
The unit may not be covered or transported during
operation.
◊
The electrical cables outside the unit must be pro-
tected from being damaged (e.g. by animals).
◊
Make sure that extension cables are suitable in
terms of capacity, length and intended use.
◊
The unit may only be transported in an upright posi-
tion, the condensation collector must be emptied
each time before the unit is moved.
◊
The unit may not be operated for a different purpose
or other than as described in this manual.
In cases of non-compliance, we assume no liability
and the guarantee becomes null and void
.
Work on the cooling system and the electrical sys-
tem may only be performed by authorised person-
nel!
Function
The unit works on the principle of condensation.
The fan sucks the moist ambient air into the back of the
unit via the air filter, the evaporator and the condenser
located behind the evaporator.
Heat is extracted from the ambient air at the cold
evaporator. The ambient air is cooled until it falls below
the dew point and the water vapour contained in the air
turns into condensation or frost on the evaporator fins.
Unit setup locations
The unit is used in rooms where dry air is a priority to
avoid consequential financial losses (e.g. as a result of
a buildup of mildew).
The unit is primarily used to dry and dehumidify:
◊
Living rooms, bedrooms, showers or basements.
◊
Kitchens, weekend houses, caravans.
And to keep the following dry on an permanent basis:
◊
Storage areas, archives, laboratories.
◊
Bathing, washing, changing rooms, etc.
Description of the Unit
The unit has been designed for automatic, universal,
smooth air dehumidification. Its compact dimensions
make it easy to transport and set up.
The unit works on the principle of condensation. It is
equipped with a closed-loop cooling system, a quiet fan
requiring little maintenance and a power cord with plug.
The unit has a control panel with an LCD display to con-
trol the functions. The unit can be set to automatically
switch on and off at specific times via the timer function.
A fully-automatic control, the condensation collector with
integrated overflow prevention mechanism and the con-
nection adapter for direct drainage of condensation en-
sure that the unit run smoothly in smooth operation.
The unit meet the basic safety and health requirements
found in the relevant EU regulations. It is safe and easy
to operate.
The dehumidified, cooled air is reheated in the con-
denser (heat-exchanger) and then released at a tem-
perature of approximately 5 degrees above room tem-
perature.
This air, which is now drier, is mixed again with the am-
bient air. The humidity of the air is gradually reduced to
the desired relative humidity through the continuous cir-
culation of ambient air by the unit.
