1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Please read the operating instructions carefully before using your
dehumidifier for the first time.
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The dehumidifier is used to remove excessive moisture from the air. The
resulting reduction in relative humidity protects buildings and their contents
from the adverse effects of excess humidity.
The environmentally friendly R290 is used as the refrigerant. R290 has no
damaging influence on the ozone layer (ODP), a negligible greenhouse effect
(GWP) and is available worldwide. Because of its efficient energy properties,
R290 is highly suitable as a coolant for this application. Special precautions
must be taken into consideration due to the coolant's high flammability.
