Intended use
The dehumidier is designed only for use for dehumidifying in privately used rooms
(e.g. living rooms, bedrooms, storage areas or basements). The user must observe all the
operational parameters specied in this manual.
The device is allowed to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to
be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any dama-
ge or injuries of any kind resulting from such misuse.
Operating instructions
The device is designed for a temperature range of between 5°C and 32°C. At below 5°C the
humidity level tends to be very low, such that there is no need for a dehumidier. At above
32°C it is possible that the overheating guard will shut the device down automatically. The
device does not have approval for operation outside the given temperature range.
To enable the dehumidier to dehumidify the air to optimum eect, it warms the air. The
room temperature may therefore rise by 1-2 degrees. This is perfectly normal and increases
the eciency of the device.
To operate eciently in energy terms, the device switches o automatically once the set hu-
midity level has been reached. If the humidity level increases again, the device switches on
again automatically.
The device switches o automatically when the water tank is full.
Place face to the front of the unit and lift it when move the machine.

Setting up instructions
Remove all the strips of adhesive tape which were used as transport braces. Make sure that
the device is stood securely on a dry surface.
Ensure that the device cannot cause any water damage if water were to escape from the wa-
ter tank.
Before you start the device, always let it stand in its nal position for at least 2 hours to allow
the coolant to settle and ensure that there is no risk of damage to the compressor.
Make sure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Check that the oat is correctly positioned and moves easily.
Make sure that the water tank is correctly positioned.
Make sure that the socket outlet is tted with a residual current protective device circuit-
breaker (earth-leakage circuit-breaker). If you are unsure whether this is the case, ask your
electrician or use a personal protection plug (available from your DIY store).
Before starting up
Make sure that the Comedes Demecto 30 is switched o (humidity controller at “ ”).
Starting up
Check the cable for damage before you insert the power plug. The device may only be used if
the power cable is in awless condition. Plug in the power cable and turn the hygrostat switch
to the desired humidity level.
IMPORTANT: Always allow the device to run for at least 35 minutes before you switch it o,
and never switch it on and o continuously in quick succession. Otherwise there is a risk of
damage to the compressor.
The higher the humidity in a room and the higher the temperature in that room, the more ef-
fectively the Comedes Demecto 30 can dehumidify the air. The compressor therefore genera-
tes heat and warms up the air in the room. This is perfectly normal and is no cause for alarm.
When the product shut down, please wait at least 3 minutes before moving the unit, so that
all water can run into the water tank.

Automatic mode:
The device is equipped with a modern hygrostat (humidity controller) and switches o auto-
matically when the desired humidity is reached, in order to save energy. If the level of humi-
dity in the room increases again, the Comedes Demecto 30 switches on again automatically.

Continuous operation:
If you turn the hygrostat switch to , the device will dehumidify at maximum capacity and
will not switch o anymore.
Emptying the water tank:
When the water tank is full, the Comedes LTR 600 switches o
automatically and the red LED (tank “Full” indicator, Fig. 3) will
light up. You need to empty the water tank before you can continue
using the Demecto 30.
Hose drainage
The Comedes Demecto 30 can also be operated with a drainage
hose. To do so, remove the water tank and x a drainage hose
Ø12mm (not included). Put the hose into the recess on the tank,
insert the tank again and guide the hose into a drain channel.
Make sure that the drain is not higher than the connection on the
device, to ensure that the water can drain o unhindered.

Recommendations for drying with the Comedes 30
To achieve the best possible dehumidifying results with the Demecto 30 while using as litt-
le energy as possible, we oer the following tips: Since this manual can only oer a limi-
ted amount of advice, we would recommend that you consult the more detailed information
available at: www.luftentfeuchter-tipps.de
Basic principles of dehumidifying with the Comedes Demecto 30
The dehumidier works in a similar way to a refrigerator with a refrigeration machine. This
generates a cold surface (on the vaporizer) on which water condenses. Depending on the
humidity and ambient temperature the water condenses at dew point temperature. To enable
the dehumidier to dehumidify, the temperature of the cold surface must be below the dew
point temperature. Given that the water would freeze if the dew point temperature was nega-
tive, the dehumidier only works if the dew point temperature is positive. To ensure that this
is the case, the dehumidier is equipped with a modern, temperature-controlled automatic
defroster which maintains the vaporizer temperature between approximately 0°C and 5°C.
For eective dehumidifying the dew point temperature for the LTR 100 needs to be above
5°C. If the dew point temperature is below this level, dehumidifying will either not be possible
at all or only very ineciently. Refer to the following table to determine the dew point tem-
perature in your particular case. Where dew point temperatures are too low it is advisable to
turn on the heating.

Drying to deal with problems with condensation damp
Condensation damp generally occurs in basements when moist air penetrates the basement
in summer and condenses on the cold walls of the basement. We recommend that you de-
humidify the basement, room by room, in continuous operation. To start, run the device in
continuous operation mode until you see that the amount of water that you are emptying out
of the tank each day starts to reduce. Then move the device to the next room. Once you have
dried all the rooms in this way we recommend that you select a central location for the device
and then run it in automatic mode. We recommend a humidity setting of approximately the
middle setting of the regulator knob. This method of dehumidifying is more ecient in energy
terms than dehumidifying in automatic mode from the start, because if you do the latter the
device will switch on and o a lot.
Drying to deal with building defects or water damage
In the case of building defects or water damage, the cause needs to be eliminated rst. Once
this has been done the rooms can be dried using condensation driers such as the Demecto
30. In this case the dehumidier is run in continuous operation mode. The ambient tempera-
ture needs to be at least 20°C (but not above 27°C). Additional heating can be provided by
an electric heater if necessary. Gas radiant heaters are not suitable! To generate the air circu-
lation required, fans can be used in the room.
Please note that the insulation layer may also need to be dried, depending on the nature of
the building defects. This will have to be undertaken by a specialist rm.
Recommended humidity levels for rooms
As a general rule this is dependent on the ambient temperature. The higher the tempera-
ture of the room, the lower the setting for the relative humidity needs to be, otherwise it will
encourage the growth of fungus or mold in the room. A pleasant level of humidity is between
35% and 65% relative humidity, depending on the ambient temperature.
The following diagram provides a point of reference for the optimum level of humidity at die-
rent ambient temperatures.
The diagram is based on the assumption that temperatures >=20°C are for living quarters
and temperatures <=20°C are for basement quarters.

Maintenance
The Comedes LTR 600 is largely maintenance-free.
To maintain the level of dehumidifying eciency you need
to clean the lter at least once a month, or more often if
necessary.
To do this, switch o the device, pull the power cable
and remove the nylon lter at the front of the device.
Rinse the lter with warm water and allow to dry.
You can then t it back on the device.
Check the hose used for the drainage regularly for blockages and damage. If the hose is
blocked or damaged, replace it with a new one.
