Mounting the transport handle:
To reduce the volume, the transport handle of a new unit was mounted the wrong way round.
The following accessories are included for the transport handle assembly:
1 x transport handle
4 x long hexagon head screws
First loosen and remove the four hexagonal screws together with the washers with which the handle is
attached to the unit the wrong way round.
Now position the handle in the right direction so that it points diagonally backwards and the four fastening holes
of the handle are above the fastening holes on the unit casing. (See the cover picture of the operating
instructions).
Then screw in the four hexagonal screws to secure the handle to the unit. Make sure that the washers are
between the hexagon head screw and the handle. We recommend using a spanner or a suitable ratchet for
fastening.
Now your handle should be stable and firmly attached and nothing should stand in the way of safe transport.
Note: We also recommend checking whether the fastening screws of the feet are tightened or whether they have
loosened during transport. If this is the case, you can also tighten the screws with a spanner or a suitable ratchet.

After transport or assembly:
As the unit works with cooling liquid, we ask you to let it stand upright for at least 1 hour before using it for the first
time or after mounting the castors and the transport handle, so that the cooling liquid can settle properly in the unit
again.
During first operation / hose connection:
If you want to use a hose connection for draining the condensate, make sure that the hose connection is properly
seated and that the condensate (water) can always drain off unhindered! If this is not observed, the water
condensed by the building dryer (up to 35 litres per day) can cause damage to the room!
Room humidity and dehumidification performance:
If you want to check the room humidity and the associated dehumidification performance with your own humidity
meter (hygrometer), please avoid attaching this humidity meter to a wall, as this will falsify the true humidity content
of the room air. See also the explanations under Troubleshooting !!!

Instructions for use:
1. Commissioning
Insert the mains plug properly into the socket.
Switch on the unit with the main switch ( I / O ).
The unit is programmed so that the building dryer runs in continuous operation (continuous dehumidification). This
means that you do not have to make any further settings.
Switch the unit off again with the main switch ( I / O ) if dehumidification is no longer required.
Operating instructions
To protect the compressor, the unit should always run for at least 3 minutes or be switched off before you press the
main switch ( I / O ) again!!!
In case of cold ambient temperatures or icing in the unit, a sensor automatically controls a defrosting process.
Meanwhile, the defrost mode automatically controls the air circulation and compressor operation !
2. Connecting a hose
2.1 The connection point for the drain hose is on the right-hand side of the condensation tank (see diagram below).
First remove the black sealing plug there.
2.2 It is best to use a ½ inch plastic hose and pass it through the hole provided on the side and then put the hose
over the plastic tap provided.
2.3 Make sure that it fits properly. For safety, we recommend fixing the hose with a clamp/clip !
2.4 Make sure that the hose does not kink and must always have a slight slope !

3. Cleaning
3.1 Cleaning the housing
Please disconnect the mains plug before cleaning the construction dryer.
Only use mild cleaning agents to clean your construction dryer.
NEVER spray your building dryer (e.g. with water or similar).
3.2 Cleaning the air filter screen
The air filter screen at the front of the air intake filters lint, hair and coarse construction dust. Furthermore, the air
filter ensures that less dust is deposited on the cooling fins, thus ensuring higher efficiency. Too much dust and dirt
in the filter sieve or on the cooling fins reduces the dehumidification performance and can lead to a loss of
efficiency in the
In the worst case, this can even cause damage to your construction dryer, so the following applies in the case of
coarse soiling or in rooms with a lot of construction dust: clean the air filter screen and also the inner evaporator
unit* (*only possible after opening the casing) regularly !
Clean the filter whenever it can be assumed that the air intake is reduced by the dirty air filter screen or that dirt
and dust has been deposited on the cooling fins. (This can sometimes even be the case daily on dusty
construction sites. )
Switch off the unit and disconnect the mains plug !
Now remove the air filter screen by pulling it upwards by the tab.
Wash the dirty sieve well under lukewarm water or vacuum it out thoroughly with a hoover.
Allow the air filter screen to dry and then put it back into its holder from above.
4. Other notes
Do not expose the compressor to temperatures above 45°C. Please do not do this even if the unit is not switched
on/connected. This could damage the compressor !
The exhaust air of the building dryer is approx. 2°C - 3°C warmer than the supply air (room temperature). In smaller
and well-insulated rooms this can lead to greatly increased room temperatures, this process is quite normal.
For an effective and economical dehumidification operation, please close all doors and windows in the operating
room of the building dryer, if possible !

Troubleshooting
The unit is icing up.
In cold temperatures or long periods of continuous operation, the unit may freeze up despite the defrost sensor. In
this case, we recommend that you manually defrost the unit by switching it off and warming the room slightly.
The unit does not dehumidify enough.
Please remember that the primary aim is not to gain as much condensation water as possible, but to dry and/or
keep dry the room air or ceilings, walls and inventory !
Furthermore, bear in mind that the building dryer can only remove moisture from the air and only indirectly from
materials (screed/plaster). Depending on the condition of the ceilings, walls and fixtures, it can take several weeks
before they release the stored moisture back into the air! For this reason, we also recommend that if you use your
own humidity meter (hygrometer), you place it as freely as possible and somewhat away from walls and ceilings,
because otherwise the determined humidity value of the room air will be falsified!!!
As with all building dryers, the dehumidification performance is decisively influenced by the following factors:
A) Humidity content of the room air and B) Heat/temperature in the room.
For safety's sake, here is an approximate dehumidification table for DURABLE OPERATION:
35 degrees and 90% RH = approx. 40 litres (optimum or maximum capacity).
30 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 35 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 18 litres
20 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 18 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 11 litres
15 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 14 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 8 litres
10 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 9 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 6 litres
All figures are approximate per day (fluctuation tolerance) when measured directly at the unit inlet and of course
these values only apply if the temperature and moisture content remain constant!
