5. How to use

• Remove all packing material.
• Remove all transport packing material.
• Strip off the foil from the operating pan-
el.
• Check to ensure that all parts are pre-
sent and undamaged.
1. Place the device on a level, dry and
solid surface.
2. Let the device rest in its working posi-
tion for about 30 minutes, so that the
coolant fluid can settle.
3. Make sure that the float at the left-hand
side of the water tank 5 can move freely.
4. Check that the water tank 5 is inserted
correctly. If it is installed incorrectly, or
if the water tank has been removed, the
LED 12 TANK FULL will illuminate.
5. Connect the mains plug 10 to a
grounded power socket.

6. Notes on operation

• If the relative humidity in residential
rooms is continuously excessive, the
cause should be found and rectified.
(Continuous ventilation - i.e. for several
years - is generally not reasonable.)
• The optimum ambient temperature for
removing humidity from the air is 5 °C
to 35 °C. Below 5 °C, the use of a de-
humidifier is not helpful, as there is only
relatively little humidity in the air.
• During operation, the room temperature
may rise by between 1 °C and 4 °C,
depending on room size. This is normal.

Automatic defrosting

In order to prevent the device from freezing
over while in continuous operation, it de-
frosts itself automatically. To do this, the de-
humidification process is interrupted, and
the motor switches to its highest setting.
The intervals at which this happens vary.

7. Operation

7.1 Switching on and off

• By pressing the button 16 STAND-BY,
you can switch the device on and off.
The corresponding LEDs illuminate or go
out.
- The device will start with the setting
last selected.
- If the device has failed due to a pow-
er outage, has been disconnected
from the mains power or stopped by
the overheating protection system, it
will start in the AUTOMATIC mode.
• If a timer has been set, the device will
shut down after the time has run out (1-
12 hours).
• If a value has been set for relative hu-
midity in the CONTINUOUS mode, the
device will stop when the value has
been reached, and re-start when the val-
ue is exceeded again.
• The device switches off when the water
tank is full or has been removed.
