Haverland IGLU Instruction Manual page 21

• The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
• The mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced.
• The mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the
manufacturer of all liability.
Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive 2012/19/EU.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be
taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this
service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences
for the environment and health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent
materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of
the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out
wheeled dustbin.
SOME NOTES ON HUMIDITY
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapour. This determines the level of humidity in an
atmosphere. The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with temperature. This is why in our homes, as soon
as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses, as is evident on the colder surfaces in the
room, such as the windows, walls, etc. The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air,
avoiding the damage caused by condensation.
Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and for the home are
obtained between 40 % and 60 % relative humidity. With very low temperature loss, you are recommended to heat
the room even minimally. This increases considerably the deshumidifying power of the appliance. With heating, the
condensation formed by the water vapour on windows and other cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be collected
by the dehumidifier. Air leaving the dehumidifier is usually about 1ºC-2ºC warmer than room temperature.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION REGARDING APPLIANCES WITH R290 REFRIGERANT GAS
• Thoroughly read all of the warnings.
• When defrosting and cleaning the appliance, do not use any tools other than those recommended by the
manufacturing company.
• R290 is a refrigerant gas that complies with the European directives on the environment. Do not put in any part of
the refrigerant circuit.
• If the appliance is installed, operated or stored in a non-ventilated area, the room must be designed to prevent the
accumulation of refrigerant leaks resulting in a risk of fire or explosion due to ignition of the refrigerant caused by
electric heaters, stoves, or other sources of ignition.
• The appliance must be stored in such a way as to prevent mechanical failure.
• Individuals who operate or work on the refrigerant circuit must have the appropriate certification issued by an
accredited organisation that ensures competence in handling refrigerants according to a specific evaluation
recognized by associations in the industry.
• Repairs must be performed based on the recommendations from the manufacturing company.
• Manitenance and repairs that require the assistance of other qualified personnel must be performed under the
supervision of an individual specified in the use of flammable refrigerants.
