Information on dehumidification performance
The dehumidification performance is dependent only on
the spatial composition of the room, the room tempera-
ture, the relative humidity and following the instructions
in the chapter entitled “Setup”.
The maximum dehumidification performance is
achieved by opening the air flap completely.
The higher the room temperature and the relative hu-
midity, the greater the dehumidification performance is.
For use in residences, a humidity level of approximately
45 to 60 % is sufficient while a humidity level of 40 to 45
% may not be exceeded in storage areas, archives, etc.
Instructions for unit operation
◊
After being switched on, the unit functions fully auto-
matically until it is switched off by a control mecha-
nism activated by the float when the condensation
collector is full.
◊
If, during operation, the power supply is interrupted,
the unit does not switch on again automatically after
power has been restored. If a timer function was pro-
grammed, it is deleted.
◊
If the unit is in operation with an external condensa-
tion hose in continuous operation, please read the
applicable section on this page.
◊
If the unit was switched off manually by the “On/Off”
button or by the float mechanism, the compressor
switches on again only after a delay of approximately
5 minutes.
This safety mechanism prevents the compressor
from overloading.
◊
The fan remains in continuous operation until the
unit switches off to ensure that the integrated sensor
can always correctly measure the humidity.
Setting the air outlet direction
The dehumidified ambient air is expelled from the top of
the unit. The adjustable air flap can be used to change
the direction of the air being expelled.
1. To open the air flap, press on the
rear surface.
The front side opens upwards. You
can adjust the direction of the air
any way you want.
Automatic defrost
The humidity contained in the ambient air condenses
when cooled and covers the evaporator fins with frost or
ice depending on the air temperature and the relative
humidity. This frost or ice buildup is automatically de-
frosted from the unit.
The integrated automatic defrost sys-
tem switches the defrost cycle on
when necessary.
During the defrost phase, the dehu-
midification mode is briefly inter-
rupted.
The Symbol D appears on the dis-
play.
2. If possible, create a flow of air going upwards by
opening the flap completely.
3. Make sure that nothing is blocking the air from being
expelled.
This is the only way to guarantee optimum unit op-
eration.
4. Make sure that sensitive objects, such as plants in
the room, are not directly in the path of the expelled
air.
D
Condensation collector
It is necessary to empty the integrated condensation
collector from time to time.
When the collector is full, the dehumidification mode is
interrupted and the Symbol E appears on the display.
1. Carefully pull out the collector to-
wards you.
2. Pour the condensation into a
drain.
3. Clean the collector with a clean
towel.
4. Carefully reinsert the collector
into the unit.
5. Keep in mind that the unit only
starts when the collector has
been correctly inserted.
The Symbol E disappears from
the display and the unit begins to
work again fully automatically.
Continuous operation with an external condensa-
tion hose.
The unit must be equipped with a connection adapter on
the left side. A standard
1 /
2
" water hose can be con-
nected here.
Make sure that the hose is placed at an incline to
the drain so that the condensation is not blocked
from flowing out of the condensation collector!
1. Using a suitable tool, break the
cover F of the connection
adapter from the unit wall.
Only necessary for the initial con-
nection.
2. Connect a drainage hose that is
sufficiently long to the connection
adapter.
When the unit is in continuous operation, the condensa-
tion can now be directed, for example, to a drain at a
lower level.
