HOW IT WORKS
Your Ecor-Pro dehumidifier controls the Relative Humidity by passing the air
through the unit forcing the excess moisture to condensate over a cooled
heat exchanger. This condensate water then flows safely into a fixed drain.
The dried air then passes through a final heat exchanger where it is warmed
before it re-enters the room area at a slightly elevated temperature. The level
of dehumidifying is set with the digital humidistat control.

POSITIONING

POSITIONING
There must be free space of at least 30 cm between any other object and the
front and the top of the unit.
Your Ecor-Pro dehumidifier can be installed in any area with a too high relative
humidity, such as cellar, playing area, shed, archive or swimming pool.
The dehumidifier will begin to protect from the harmful effects of excess mois-
ture as soon as it is plugged in and switched on.
When positioning your Ecor-Pro dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a
level surface.
Best results are obtained when windows and doors are closed, thus prevent-
ing the possible influx of more humid, air.
When the unit is placed in a (swimming) pool area, connect to the mains via
a transformer or a breaking switch, conform the local regulations regarding
electrical installations.
When the dehumidifier is in operation, open outside doors and windows only
when necessary.

WALL MOUNTING
The unit can stand on the floor or hang on a wall.
A wall-mounting bracket is provided with your Ecor-Pro dehumidifier.
Fix the supporting bracket with at least 5 screws horizontally to the wall, use
the appropriate fixings for the type of wall - Note the unit is heavy approxi-
mately 25kg.
Hang the unit on the bracket, the two tongues fit into the slots on the•
unit’s rear panel.
Make sure the three rubber support pads on the lower part of the rear•
panel are properly placed.
CLEANING

GB
CLEANING
Disconnect from the mains before cleaning the unit or any of its components.
Cleaning the air filter
Air circulation is impeded and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air pu-
rifying functions decreases when the filter is dirty. It is therefore good practice
to clean the filter at regular intervals. The precise intervals depend on the
room in which the appliance operates and on how frequently it is used.
Open the front grille by pulling it gently forward at the top edge•
Remove the filter by sliding it out.•
Clean the filter or wash in tap water.•
Dry the filter before inserting it back and•
closing the grille.
Housing
Wipe regularly clean with a moist cloth
and mild household detergent.
Servicing
Have your dehumidifier once a year serv-
iced by a qualified engineer.
Caution
This unit should not be operated without
the air filter fitted. Operation without the air
filter may damage the heat exchanger.
DRAINAGE
Connecting the permanent outlet
Connect the pipe to an outlet tube with the correct diameter.•
Push the other end of the tube into a drain, making sure that the tubing•
cannot be twisted or folded.
The entire length of the tube• must have a steady fall.
Ensure that the outlet of the drainage pipe is not under the water level in•
the drain.
NOTE: In very cold weather conditions precautions should be taken to pre-
vent the drainage pipe from freezing.

CONTROLS
Functions:
ON/OFF
The unit is switched on and off by pressing the ‘ON/OFF’ button. When the
unit is on, the fan runs in the set speed.
Humidity
Press the ‘HUMIDITY ADJUST’ buttons repeatedly to choose the desired level
of relative humidity in the area. The corresponding control lights will indicate
the selected percentage. The ‘CONT’ control light indicates that the unit is
running continuously, disregarding the relative humidity level in the area.
Note: When the desired level of humidity is achieved the compressor will stop
however, the fan will continue to run for approximately 15 minutes, this will
clear the heat exchanger of all collected water.
Fan speed
Press the ‘FAN SPEED SELECT’ button to select low or high speed. The cor-
responding control light will indicate this, Lo=low or Hi=high.
Humidity / Temperature display
The digital display will normally show the measured relative humidity in the
area.
Your Ecor-Pro dehumidifier features a microprocessor based digital control
system for optimal performance control.

If the unit is leaking:
Check the drainage tube for correct fitting.•
Check for twists and bends in the drainage tube.•
Check the drainage tube for a sufficient and continuous downward slope.•
Check and make sure that the outlet of the drainage pipe is not under the•
water level in the drain.
