The Refrigerant R290
•To realize the function of the air conditioner unit, a special refrigerant circulates in
the system. The refrigerant is the fluoride R290 = 3 GWP (Global warming
potential). This refrigerant is flammable and inodorous. It can lead to explosions
under certain conditions, however the flammability of this refrigerant is very low and
it can be ignited only by fire.
•Compared to other common refrigerants, R290 is a non-polluting refrigerant with no
harm to the ozonosphere and a no effect upon the greenhouse effect. R290 has
very good thermodynamic features which lead to a really high energy efficiency.
The units therefore need less filling.
Warning:
Do not try to accelerate the defrosting process or to clean the appliance in different ways
other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Should repair be necessary, contact
your nearest authorized Argoclima Service Centre. Any repairs carried out by unqualified
personnel may be dangerous. The appliance has to be stored in a room that doesn’t have
any continuously operating ignition sources. (for example: open flames, an operating gas
appliance or an operating electric heater.) Do not pierce or burn.
Appliance has to be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than 4
m2.
For repairs, strictly follow manufacturer’s instructions only for appliances filled with R290
flammable gas. Be aware that refrigerants do not have any odour.
Appliance filled with flammable gas R290.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
APPLIANCE START-UP
Place the product on a flat and stable heat-resistant surface, at least 1 metre away from flammable or heat-sensitive
materials and 50 cm away from walls or other obstructions.
Make sure the water tank is in the correct position.
Connect the power cord to a suitable electric socket (220-240V/50Hz).
Turn the appliance on with ON/OFF on the control panel.
The dehumidifier is designed to operate at ambient temperatures from + 5°C to + 32°C.
If it is operated at low temperatures, ice may form on the evaporator, degrading its operation.
When this happens the dehumidifier goes into defrost mode and the defrost LED comes on. The compressor stops, but the
fan continues running.
The defrosting operation may start up and operate for some minutes; during the defrosting operation, the dehumidification
function may intermit: please don’t turn off the switch or pull out the power plug of the dehumidifier.
We recommend not using the dehumidifier in room temperatures lower than 5°C.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
The appliance will only start operating if the humidity level in the room is above the set value.
The dehumidifier will continue to operate until the set humidity level has been reached, with the exception of
interruptions caused by a full tank. In this case, empty and reinstall the tank: the dehumidifier will now start running
again.
WARNING:
After each interruption of its operation, at least 3 minutes must pass before the dehumidifier starts up again:
this delay prevents the compressor being damaged.
If, on the other hand, the set humidity percentage is higher than the level currently found in the room, the
dehumidifier will not start.
If you follow the start up instructions but the dehumidifier does not start stops for no reason, make sure the plug and
power cord are in good working order. After doing so, wait for 10 minutes and then restart the appliance.
If the dehumidifier still does not start after 10 minutes, or if either the power cord or plug are damaged, switch off the
appliance and contact an after-sales service centre.
WARNING:
When the dehumidifier is running, the compressor produces heat and the appliance emits warm air into the
room. The room temperature will therefore tend to increase. This is completely normal.
TURNING THE DEHUMIDIFIER OFF
To turn the dehumidifier off press the ON/OFF button. This shuts off power to the unit.
Unplug the appliance if you do not intend to use it for some time.
HOW TO ELIMINATE CONDENSATE
The water extracted from the air can be collected in the provided front tank.
When the tank is full, the unit turns off. The FULL TANK led turns on and the unit beeps for about 20 seconds. Empty
the tank. Use two hands to empty the tank.
To switch off the appliance, press the ON/OFF button and wait a few seconds.
1. Carefully remove the tank using both hands and following the direction of the arrow.
2. Empty the tank.
3. Reposition the tank following the direction of the arrow.
