When in transit, the unit must be protected from impacts of any kind, and all possible measures must be taken to prevent malfunctions due to improper loading or unloading of the unit. When lifting the unit, always use a Keep the unit dry and protected from the elements while in storage.
DFRIGO User Manual | Checks to be made when taking delivery of the unit. When taking delivery of the unit, ensure that: • The type, model, size, serial number, voltage and electrical connection to the power supply indicated on the unit's rating plate match the information on the order and delivery note. You can find the unit's rating plate on the outside of the electrical board (see point 5.3 "Main mechanical components").
Standard units can achieve dew point values of up to -25ºC for treated air humidity. Operating Principle The straightforward operation of our DFRIGO series of dehumidifiers consists of two continuous and simultaneous airflows running in opposite directions through the desiccant rotor, and, in the case of the DFRIGO-ECO series, also through a heat-exchanger plate.

Every 1,500 hours of operation 10.1 Corrective maintenance The FISAIR desiccant rotor dehumidifier is a highly reliable piece of equipment, and so does not require very demanding corrective maintenance. The motors used by the unit may require repair/replacement due to mechanical or electrical malfunctions.
DFRIGO User Manual | 10.2 Maintaining the desiccant rotor The desiccant rotor is the only component of the dehumidifier that needs special attention. The desiccant rotor fitted to these units does not require specific ongoing maintenance. The speed of rotation is very slow, and the bearings and desiccant material are designed for continuous operation.
3) Wash the filters using neutral pH soap and water or replace them. 4) Only replace the filters when they are completely dry. Always use FISAIR filters or filters with equivalent properties. Troubleshooting The DFRIGO dehumidifier has an integrated fault information system in the unit's PLR. You can consult the fault codes directly on the machine's display screen.
