Refrigerant information R290
The unit is only designed for
use with R-290 (propane) gas
as refrigerant.
The refrigerant circuit is
sealed. Maintenance work
may only be carried out by
a qualified technician. The
maintenance manual must
be requested from the
manufacturer by the
technician.
Do not release the refrigerant
into the atmosphere.
R290 (propane) is extremely
flammable and heavier than
air. It initially accumulates in
low areas, but can be
circulated by fans.

If propane gas is present or
suspected to be present, do
not let untrained persons
search for the cause.
The propane gas used in this
appliance is odorless.
Therefore, gas may have
escaped even without a
perceptible odor.
The components used are
designed for propane gas and
are therefore non-flammable
and spark-free. Components
may only be replaced by
identical spare parts approved
by the manufacturer.
Make sure that the refrigerant
is odourless.
Observe the national gas
regulations.
Failure to comply with the safety instructions may result in explosion,
death, personal injury and property damage.
esteem
Every person who carries out work on the refrigerant circuit
must have a current valid certificate of competence from an
industry accredited assessment body which demonstrates its
competence in the safe handling of refrigerants in accordance
with a procedure recognised by industry.
esteem
Maintenance may only be carried out in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. During maintenance and repairs
requiring the assistance of other specialists, the person trained
in the handling of flammable gases must constantly monitor
the work.
If you do not understand something or need help, please contact the manufacturer.
You will find the contact details at the end of this manual.
Intended Use
The dehumidifier is only intended for dehumidification of privately used rooms (e.g. living
rooms, bedrooms, storage rooms or cellars). The user must comply with the specified opera-
ting parameters of these instructions.
The machine may only be used for its intended purpose. Any further use beyond this is not in-
tended. The user/operator and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury of
any kind resulting therefrom.
operating instructions
The device is designed for a temperature range between 5 and 35°C. Below 5°C the air
humidity tends to be very low, so that you do not have to use a dehumidifier. Above 35°C, the
overheating protection may automatically switch off the unit. The device is not approved for
operation outside the temperature range.
The air dehumidifier warms the air so that it can dehumidify optimally. Therefore the room
temperature can rise by 1-2 degrees. This is quite normal and increases the efficiency of the
device.
When the water tank is full, the appliance switches off automatically.

commissioning
Before connecting the mains plug, check the device and especially the cable for damage. The
device may only be operated with a faultless mains cable.
Plug in the mains cable and switch on the device with the on/off switch.
CAUTION: Always allow the unit to run for at least 35 minutes before turning it off and never
turn it off or on continuously. There would be a risk of compressor damage.
After switching off, leave the Comedes LTR 100 NEO to stand for at least 3 minutes without
moving the appliance so that the water in the drip tray can drain off completely.
The higher the humidity in a room and the higher the temperature, the better the Comedes
LTR 100 NEO can dehumidify the air. Therefore, the compressor will generate heat and heat
the room air. This is quite normal and does not need to worry you.
ATTENTION: Always open the air outlet flap before starting the unit.
Note: Before using the device for the first time, we recommend that you operate it for 5-10
minutes with the window open in order to remove any production-related residues. Any odour
that may occur is normal and disappears after a short time. This is not a malfunction of the
device. Ensure adequate ventilation.
On / Off switch:
When you plug in the unit, a beep sounds and the "POWER" LED lights green.
Open the flap of the air outlet before switching on the unit.
Press the On/Off switch to turn on the unit; the dehumidifier will start in continuous operation
with high air flow.
Press the On/Off switch again to turn off the unit. The compressor switches off immediately,
the fan with 10 seconds delay.
Humidity setting:
The device is equipped with a modern hygrostat (humidity regulator) and switches off
automatically after reaching the desired humidity in order to save energy. The compressor
switches off first and the fan 30 seconds later. If the humidity in the room rises again, the
Comedes LTR 100 NEO automatically switches on again.
By repeatedly pressing the key, the target air humidity can be set as follows:
To operate the device in continuous operation (CNT), press the button repeatedly until
"-" is shown on the display. After approx. 5 seconds, the continuous operation indicator next to
the display will light up.

During operation, the current humidity is shown on the display.
To display the current room temperature on the display, press and hold this button for at least
3 seconds.
The dehumidifier starts dehumidifying when the room humidity is at least 3% higher than the
set target humidity.
Timer:
Press the timer button to start the timer function. Press repeatedly to set a time of 1-24 hours.
If the timer is activated, this is indicated by the corresponding LED.
If you activate the timer during operation, the device switches off after the set time.
If you activate the timer while the device is in standby mode, the device starts automatically
after the set time has elapsed.
To turn off the timer, press the button repeatedly until "00" is displayed.
If the timer is active, the "Timer" LED lights up blue.
Speed:
Press this button to switch between the two fan levels.
The currently selected fan speed is indicated by the "SPEED" LED.
This LED lights up blue for the small fan stage and orange for the high fan stage.
Empty water tank:
After the water tank is full, the Comedes LTR 100 NEO automatically switches off and the tank
"Full" indicator (Fig. 3) lights up. This is also indicated acoustically.
You must empty the water tank in order to put the LTR 100 NEO back into operation.
Always switch off the device first and unplug the mains plug.
Now empty the water tank completely into a washbasin or similar.
Grip the water tank by the handle provided
and carefully pull it back out of the appliance.
Caution: To avoid spilling water, it is advisable
to grip the water tank with both hands during
removal and transport.

Attention:
•The float must not be removed from the water tank to ensure correct and safe
operation of the unit.
•If the water tank becomes dirty, it should be cleaned. Use cold or warm water without
additives. Additives or cleaning utensils such as detergent, steel wool, benzene or other
chemical cleaners are not suitable as they may damage the tank and cause leakage.
hose drainage
The Comedes LTR 100 NEO can also be operated with a drainage hose (Ø9.0mm). To do this,
remove the water tank and attach a drainage hose.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. remove the water tank 2. carefully break the
Plastic sealing of the
Drainage outlet from the water tank.
3. attach the drainage hose 4. insert the water tank
again
at the outlet of the drip tray. and run the hose through it
the recess of the drainage outlet.
Carefully replace the tank after it
has been completely emptied. To
do this, grasp the water tank on
both sides and push it straight
into the appliance.
Ensure that the tank is correctly
inserted to ensure proper
operation of the unit.

Attention:
•Make sure that the hose is not higher at any point than the hose connection on the
device so that the water can drain off undisturbed.
•Make sure that the drainage hose is not kinked or blocked. Check this regularly.
The device must be switched off and disconnected from the mains after each use and before
accessories are attached or removed by pulling the mains plug out of the earth contact socket
after switching off. Allow the unit to cool to room temperature before cleaning and/or storing.
automatic defrosting system
The dehumidifier is equipped with a temperature-dependent defrost function.
At a room temperature between 5°C and 12°C, the unit starts defrosting every 30 minutes.
At a room temperature between 13°C and 20°C, the unit starts defrosting every 45 minutes.
Recommendations for drying with the Comedes LTR 100 NEO
In order to achieve the best possible dehumidification result with the LTR 100 NEO with the
lowest possible
energy input, we provide the following information:
Since this manual can only provide limited help, we recommend that you visit www. comedes
for further information. com to catch up.
Fundamentals of dehumidification with the Comedes LTR 100 NEO
The dehumidifier works similar to a refrigerator with a refrigerating machine. This creates a
cold surface (on the evaporator) on which water condenses. Depending on air humidity and
ambient temperature, the water condenses at the dew point temperature. In order for the
dehumidifier to dehumidify, the cold surface must be below the dew point temperature. Since
the water would freeze at negative dew point temperatures, the dehumidifier can only work
with positive dew point temperatures. To guarantee this, the dehumidifier is equipped with a
modern, temperature-controlled automatic defrosting system that maintains the evaporator
temperature between 0 and 5°C. The dehumidifier is equipped with a temperature control
system that keeps the evaporator temperature between 0 and 5°C. The dehumidifier is
equipped with a temperature control system. In order to dehumidify properly, the dew point
temperature should be above 5°C. If the dew point temperature is lower, dehumidification is
either not possible at all or only possible very inefficiently. With the following table you can
determine the dew point temperature in your case.
If the dew point temperature is too low, heating is recommended.
Attention:
Only heat the room with water-bearing heating units, such as underfloor heating and perman-
ently installed radiators.
If this is not possible, the room can be preheated with another electric heater. However, the
dehumidifier must not be located in this room.

The safety and operating instructions in this manual must be followed under all circumstances.
Drying in case of problems with condensation moisture
Condensation usually occurs in cellars when humid air enters the cellar in summer and
condenses on the cold cellar walls. We recommend dehumidifying the cellar room by room first
in continuous operation. Let the appliance run continuously until you notice that the amount of
water you empty daily from the tank is decreasing. Now place the device in the next room.
Once you have dried all the rooms, we recommend that you select a central installation
location and operate the unit in automatic mode. This type of dehumidification is more energy-
efficient than if you dehumidify immediately to automatic mode, as the unit then switches off
and on very frequently.
Drying in the event of construction defects or water damage
In the case of construction defects and water damage, the cause should first be eliminated.
The rooms can then be dried with condensation dryers such as the LTR 100 NEO. The
dehumidifier is operated in continuous operation. The ambient temperature should be at least
20°C (not more than 27°C).
Attention: Only heat the room with water-bearing heating units, such as underfloor heating
and permanently installed radiators.
If this is not possible, the room can be preheated with another electric heater. However, the
dehumidifier must not be located in this room.
The safety and operating instructions in this manual must be followed under all circumstances.
Please note that, depending on the building defect, drying of the insulating layer may also be
necessary.
can become. This must be carried out by a specialist company.
Recommended humidity for rooms
Basically, this depends on the ambient temperature. The higher the temperature of the room,
the lower the relative humidity should be, as otherwise the formation of mould in the room is
favoured. The pleasant humidity ranges from 35% to 65% relative humidity, depending on the
ambient temperature.
The following diagram gives an indication of which air humidity is optimal at which ambient
temperatures.

The diagram assumes that temperatures >=20°C are residential rooms and temperatures
<=20°C are basement rooms.

Check air inlet and outlet
The unit sucks in the air from the rear (Fig. 2) and blows it out again at the top (Fig. 1). Make
sure that the air inlet and air outlet are not blocked and check this each time the unit is put
into operation. Make sure that no objects or walls obstruct the air inlet or outlet and observe
the distance rules.
Check air filter:
This should be done every 2 weeks.
To do this, switch off the unit, disconnect the mains cable and remove the water tank.
You can now pull the filter downwards out of the device.
Rinse the filter with warm (maximum 40°C) clear water and let it dry. Make sure that the filter
is not exposed to high temperatures and do not use cleaning agents or other substances (such
as petrol or alcohol). You can then attach it to the device again.
Check the drainage hose:
Check the hose used for hose drainage regularly for blockages and damage. If the hose is
clogged or damaged, replace it with a new one.
