ECON-Mode
BypressingbuttonB,theAUTO-Modecanbechangedto
ECON-Mode(symbolK)andviseversa.IntheECON-Mode,
thedesiredrelativehumidity(rH)ispresetto45%.Theunit
choosestheappropriateoutputlevelLow«L»/Medium«M»
(symbolG),inordertoattainthevalueof45%rHasenergy-
efficientlyaspossible.
InECON-Mode,therHcanbechangedatanytimebyusing
buttonC;seeC)Settinghumiditylevel.Iftheoutputlevel
ischangedbyusingbuttonD,the ECON-Mode turns off
andtheunitisoperatedmanually;seeD)Manualoperation.
BypressingbuttonBtwotimes,theECON-Modecanbe
reactivated.
C) Setting humidity level
Theapplianceisequippedwithahygrostat.Thismeasures
therelativehumidityandswitchestheapplianceoffautoma-
ticallywhenthedesiredvalueisreached.Theinternalven-
tilationremainsturnedon,toensureanaccuratereadingof
therelativehumidity.Iftherelativehumidityfallsbelowthe
desired value, humidification resumes automatically.The
desiredrelativehumiditycanbeadjustedinstepsof5%by
pressingbuttonB.Whileselectingthedesiredhumidityout-
put,thevaluedisplayisblinking.ThewordDESIREDappears
onthedisplay(symbolH).Afterafewseconds,thedisplay
automaticallychangestoshowthecurrentvalue(symbol
H).Uponreachingthedesiredrelativehumidity,thedisplay
showsDESIREDandCURRENT.
A relative humidity of between 40 and 60% is recom-
mended.Thesettingfortherelativehumidityrangesfroma
minimumof30%toamaximumof70%relativehumidityor
«CO»continuousmode.
Symbol E2
Whenthedisplayshows«E2»,thecurrentrelativehumidity
hasreached90%.Forsafetyreasons,theapplianceswit-
ches off automatically.The appliance switches back on,
whentherelativehumidityfallsbelow85%.
A) Switch on/off
PressingbuttonAswitchestheapplianceeitheronoroff.
ButtonAisalsousedtostartthedecalcificationmode.See
thesectionabout«DecalcificationMode»(18–25).After
theunitisswitchedon,itisinAUTO-Mode(symbolJ).
B) AUTO- / ECON-Mode
AUTO-Mode:
Aftertheunitisswitchedon,itisinAUTO-Mode(symbolJ).
Thedesiredrelativehumidity(rH)ispresetto50%.Theunit
choosestheappropriateoutputlevelLow«L»/Medium«M»
/High«H»(symbolG),inordertoattainthevalueof50%rH
asquicklyaspossible.
InAUTO-Mode,therHcanbechangedatanytimebyusing
buttonC;seeC)Settinghumiditylevel.Iftheoutputlevel
ischanged by using button D,theAUTO-Mode turnsoff
