INSTALLATION
Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidied. A free
space of at least 2 ft (61cm) must be left at the front of the dehu-
midier, so as not to block the air outlet. For ecient ventilation
a space of about 2-4 in (5-10 cm) should be left at the back of
the appliance.The condensate can be drained in one of the fol-
lowing ways:
a) Draining into the tank
The condensate can be drained directly into the tank. The tank
can be easily removed (Fig.1).
b) Continuous external draining
If the appliance is to be operated for long periods but you are
unable to empty the tank regularly, you are recommended to
use continuous draining.
1) Remove the continuous drain cap by turning it counter-
clockwise then remove the rubber stopper from the spout
2 (Fig. 2).
2) Apply the accessory tube to the spout as shown in Figure 3.
3) Make sure the end of the hose is no higher than the spout.
Otherwise the water will ow into the tank of the appli-
ance (Fig. 4).
Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.

use in cold environments, it is recommended to heat the room
at the same time, even slightly. This allows the dehumidier to
operate in conditions that ensure better performance and faster
dehumidication.
Please note!
• The appliance is equipped with a security device
(delay of 3 minutes) that protects the compressor
against too frequent starts and stops.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always remove the plug from the power socket before perform-
ing any cleaning or maintenance operations. For safety reasons,
never wash the dehumidier using a water jet.
Cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry
cloth.
• Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Never spray the appliance with insecticides or similar. These
could cause the plastic parts to warp.
Cleaning the dust air lter or silver-ion air lter
(on certain models only)
If the lter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the ef-
ciency of dehumidifying is decreased. It is therefore good
practice to clean the lter at regular intervals. The frequency
depends on the environment and the duration of operation.
If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recom-
mended to clean the lter once a week.
• To remove the air lter, remove the grill and extract the lter
by pulling it (see Fig. 5).
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from
the lter. If the lter is very dirty, rinse well with lukewarm
water.The temperature of the water should not exceed 40˚C.
After washing the lter, allow it to dry completely before re-
inserting it.
If present, the silver-ion air lter, besides retaining powder
particles, has also an ecient antibacterial action. In addi-
tion, it greatly reduces irritants such as pollen and spores.
The lter is treated with small particles of silver (on the scale
of millionths of a millimetre) which are able to block the
multiplication of and destroy any bacteria or spores coming
into contact with them.
Anti-allergen lter (on certain models only)
Some models are equipped with an anti-allergen lter that can
notably reduce the concentration of allergens transported by air
in a quick and ecient way.
HOW TO DEHUMIDIFY
• Connect the appliance into an outlet.
• Check that the "tank full/tank missing" indicator light
( ) is turned o, otherwise empty the tank or position
it correctly.
• To turn the appliance on, press the ON/STAND BY button
.
• Press the“MODE”(B2) button to select the desired humid-
ity ( ).
The appliance will adjust the humidity level according to
your choice:
Approx.
60%
environment humidity
Approx.
50%
environment humidity
Approx.
40%
environment humidity
Selecting , the “dry”function is activated, ideal to speed
up the drying of laundry.
Please note!
• If the humidity in the room is greater than the set
humidity, the appliance will start to dehumidify
and will stop functioning only when the desired
level of humidity is reached.
INDICATOR LIGHTS
Tank control light
(Tank control system)
This dehumidier is equipped with a device that monitors the
correct functioning of the appliance.
The corresponding indicator light, located on the control panel,
turns on to warn the user when:
1. the tank is full:
empty the tank
2. the tank is missing:
reposition the tank
3. the tank is positioned incorrectly:
position it properly
4. in continuous drain:
the hose is obstructed or the dierence in level is too great
(the water continues to be discharged into the tank)
remove the obstruction.
Once the cause has been eliminated, the light goes out and the
appliance resumes operation.
Low temperature operation indicator light
When the room temperature is too low, the electronic low tem-
perature operation device is activated. The device makes the ap-
pliance operate by alternating dehumidication cycles and fan
only cycles, thus avoiding the formation of frost. For frequent
7
To apply the lter, remove it from the packaging and insert it
into its place in the grill at the back of the appliance, as shown
in Figure 6.
It is recommended to replace the lter every 2 years.
If the appliance is not used for long periods
• After unplugging the appliance from the power socket,
empty the tank.
• Clean and reposition the lter.
• Cover the appliance with a plastic bag to protect it from dust.

The appliance is operating in dehu-
midifying mode, but the humidity
does not decrease
