• Place the appliance on a firm, even, waterproof surface. Make sure it is
standing securely so that the dehumidifier cannot tip over or fall down. If
it tipped over, please pull out the plug at once. Water can damage furni-
ture and floor coverings.
• Unwind the cord completely. An incompletely unwound cord can lead to
overheating and cause a fire.
• Do not pull the plug from the socket with wet hands or by holding on to
the power cord.
• Do not use an extension cord, a multiway connector, or a continuously
adjustable speed controller. This can cause overheating, fire, or electric
shock.
• Connect the dehumidifier only to a single-phase socket with the supply
voltage as stated on the type plate.
• Always switch the dehumidifier off with the power key and always dis-
connect the plug from the power socket when the dehumidifier is not in
use, or when it is moved, handled or cleaned. Do not tug at the cord to
disconnect the plug. Do not disconnect the plug when the dehumidifier
is running. Always first switch the dehumidifier off with the power key.
• The dehumidifier functions optimally at a room temperature of between
56 °F and 95 °F (13 °C and 35 °C). The specified dehumidifying perfor-
mance is only achievable in the higher temperature range (from 72 °F /
22 °C) and with higher room humidity (from 70 %). The lowest recom-
mended operating temperature is 50 °F / 10 °C. In case of lower tem-
peratures, the DEFROST mode is activated too frequently. The highest
operating temperature is 95 °F / 35 °C and the relative humidity is 90 %.
• Do not use the dehumidifier anywhere near easily inflammable gases or
substances, near an open fire, or at a location where oil and water could
splash. Do not spray insecticides or similar substances onto the dehumidi-
fier. Make sure that the dehumidifier is not exposed to direct sunlight. Do
not use the dehumidifier in a hothouse or near a bathtub, shower or swim-
ming pool. Do not put any hot or heavy objects on the dehumidifier.
• The air intake and air outflow vents must always be kept open during
dehumidification. Make sure that no objects can get into the air intake or
air outflow vents. This can lead to overheating, fire or electric shock. The
dehumidifier must not be installed behind curtains, drapes or other ob-
jects and obstacles that could impair the air circulation. A safety distance
of at least 20" / 50 cm from other objects must be maintained. In addition,
a safety distance of at least 25" / 60 cm from wet areas such as showers,
washbasins, sinks, bathtubs etc. must be maintained. A safety distance of
50" / 120 cm from the water supply, e.g. a water tap, is necessary.
• When operating to dry clothes keep the clothing at least 20" / 50 cm away
from the unit and do not allow water to drip onto the unit.
• Do not remove the water tank while the dehumidifier is running. Drops of
remaining water could damage furniture and floor-coverings.
• Wait for 3 – 5 minutes after switching the dehumidifier off before you
switch it back on again.
• Do not immerse the dehumidifier into water or any other liquids and do
not pour water or any other liquids onto the appliance or into the air intake
and air outflow vents.
• Clean the dehumidifier regularly, following the cleaning instructions.
• Empty the tank first before moving the dehumidifier.
