SPECIFIC INFORMATION REG ARDING R290 REFRIGERANT GAS
• The appliance must be installed, used and stored in area that is greater than 4m².
• This appliance contains 55g of R290 refrigerant gas.
• R290 is refrigerant gas that complies with the European directive on the environment. Do not
puncture any part of refrigerant circuit.
• Be aware R290 refrigerant is odourless and does not have the odour normally associated with
natural gas and propane tanks.
• The appliance must be placed in an area without any continuous sources of ignition such as
open flames, gas or electrical appliances in operation.
• Do not puncture and do not burn.
• If the appliance is installed, operated or stored in an area without proper ventilation, the room
must be designed in a way that prevents the accumulation of refrigerant leaks. This reduces
the risk of fire or explosion that could occur if the leaked refrigerant comes into contact with
electric heaters, stoves or other sources of ignition.
• Store the appliance correctly to avoid mechanical failure.
• Individuals who operate or work on the refrigerant circuit must have the appropriate
certification issued by an accredited organisation that ensures competence in handling
refrigerants according to a specific evaluation recognised by associations in the industry.
• Maintenance and repairs that require the assistance of other qualified personnel must be
performed under the supervision of an individual specified in the use of flammable
refrigerants.
Waste electrical products should not
be disposed of with household
waste. Please recycle where

Other features
The appliance features a real-time humidity indicator on its front panel, represented by three
different coloured lights: blue, green and red. These lights directly reflect the environmental
humidity as follows:
- If the room humidity is equal to or less than 50%, the indicator is blue.
- If the room humidity is between 50-70%, the indicator is green.
- If the room humidity is equal to or greater than 70%, the indicator is red.
Water tank Full indicator
When the water tank reaches its maximum capacity, the indicator will illuminate and a buzzer
will beep 20 times to alert you. The compressor will automatically switch off. After a few minutes,
the fan will also stop running automatically.

6
Defrosting operation
When the evaporator coils become frosted, the defrost indicator will illuminate, meaning the
defrost function will start. The compressor will switch off and the fan will run until the frost is
removed. When the unit runs at a room temperature between 5-12ºC, it will stop and defrost
approximately every eight minutes. When the room temperature is between 12-18ºC, it will
stop and defrost approximately every 25 minutes. When the room temperature is between
18-24ºC, it will stop and defrost approximately every 120 minutes.
Wait three minutes before resuming operation. After the compressor has stopped, it will not
restart until three minutes have passed.
The room temperature increases during the operation.
This dehumidifier does not have a cooling function. It will produce heat during use and
increase the room temperature by 1-4°C. This temperature rise may be very distinct when
the appliance is in a cabinet or similar spaces. Closed doors and windows raise the
temperature, as well as other appliances and sunlight.
Dehumidifying capacity
The graph below shows the capacity of the dehumidifier. The capacity mentioned is based
on a room temperature of 30°C, relative humidity of 80% and the air outlet being fully open.
Note: At different temperatures and relative humidity levels, the dehumidifier’s capacity may
vary.
In rooms with the same temperature, the dehumidifier capacity will be higher when the
relative humidity is higher, and lower when the relative humidity is lower. Similarly, at the
same relative humidity, the dehumidifying capacity will be higher in higher temperatures
and lower in lower temperatures.
If the appliance is placed inside a cabinet, its dehumidifying capacity may significantly
decrease shortly after operation. This occurs because the humidity inside the cabinet is
rapidly reduced, resulting in higher levels of dryness.

7
Installation
For efficient use, ensure there is enough
space around the appliance (use the
picture on the right for reference).
To prevent interference and noise
disturbances with electronic
devices (TV sets and radios),
ensure they are positioned at least
70cm away from the dehumidifier.
Top: 30cm or more
Left: 20cm or more
Back: 30cm or more
Fornt: 20cm or more
Right: 20cm or more
