6. CONTROL PANEL • FUNCTIONS
POWER
By pressing the “POWER” button the dehumidier turns on or o.
• When set humidity level has been reached the unit’s compressor will
automatically stop as soon as the humidity level drops 3%-5% under the set
humidity level. The fan will continue operating for a while and will stop as soon
as the humidity remains below the desired level.
• In the event of a power failure the unit has an Auto Restart function. Once
power is restored, the appliance will automatically restart at the preselected
settings prior to the power failure.

By pressing the “MODE” button, you can select among the below operations:
• For drier air press the Mode button to select 40% humidity level and the light
indicator will turn on.
• For ideal conditions in you room press the Mode button to select 50%
humidity level and the light indicator will turn on.
• To achieve low operating costs in a room with high levels of humidity press the
Mode button to select 60% humidity level and the light indicator will turn on.
• For constant operation of the dehumidier, press the Mode button to activate
the Continuous function.

Continuous function: the dehumidier operates continuously when the drainage
pipe is attached, or until the water tank is full, extracting humidity from the air. When
this function is active the indicator will turn on and the device will work constantly,
disregarding the relative humidity of the room and the desired humidity level set.

EN
• For drying clothes: place the dehumidier in a small room and set nearby the
clothes rack. Keep doors shut and allow the dehumidier to dry the clothes.
• For optimal results manual wringing of the clothes is suggested.
• Allow 30-50cm distance from the moist clothes.
• For special humidity conditions where big amounts of condensation need
to be extracted, such as extremely moist rooms.
• When immediate dehumidication is necessary such as in areas or rooms
not in use for an extended period of time, etc.

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle o and the fan
will continue to run until the frost disappears. In this case the indicator will turn on.
• The indicator light ashes at 0.5Hz under refrigerant leakage detection.
• The indicator light ashes at 5Hz under room temperature sensor error.
• The indicator light ashes at 5Hz under evaporator temperature sensor
error.
• This function not only ensures the safe and appropriate operation of the
dehumidier but is also more ecient and economical in its performance.

• Remove the rubber plug located opposite the unit.
Insert the water hose into the drain outlet and
make sure all connections are rmly tightened in
order to avoid any possible leaks.
• The dehumidifier should be placed on a flat

For about the rst month of use, the dehumidier operates
intensively. This will gradually decrease within time, since
the dehumidier will have been calibrated in its working

Maintaining a proper home humidity level is essential
for your well-being and that of your household. Extreme
uctuations cause adverse eects on both; low humidity
may cause respiratory problems and damage on wooden
doors, windows, and furniture, and make you vulnerable
to electric shocks due to increased static electricity. On
the other hand, high humidity may promote mold growth,
serving as breeding grounds for various bacteria and
resulting in poor health and also a damaged home. The ideal
humidity levels uctuate between 45% to 55%.

When the desired humidity level is reached, there is a
possibility of partial humidity formation on windows. This
occurs due to the temperature variation between the

The dehumidier operates by intaking condensed air
removing any moisture and sending it back in the area it
operates. If you are standing near the dehumidier while
operating you may feel that the air coming out of the fan is
cooler due to the diusion. In reality, it is at the same room-
temperature but with less humidity.

lΠαρακαλούμε ΜΗΝ ΕΠΙΤΡΕΠΕΤΕ σε παιδιά κάτω των 8 ετών να χρησιμοποιούν αυτή τη συ-
σκευή. Βεβαιωθείτε ότι, τα παιδιά και τα άτομα με ειδικές ανάγκες ή με έλλειψη γνώσης και
εμπειρίας, επιβλέπονται από άτομα υπεύθυνα για την ασφάλειά τους και δεν αναλαμβάνουν
διαδικασίες όπως τον καθαρισμό ή τη συντήρηση της συσκευής.
lΤα παιδιά θα πρέπει πάντοτε να επιβλέπονται ώστε να μην παίζουν με τη συσκευή.
lΑυτός ο αφυγραντήρας αποτελεί προϊόν οικιακής χρήσης και μόνο. Μην χρησιμοποιείτε
τη συσκευή σε βιομηχανικές εγκαταστάσεις, εξωτερικούς χώρους, σκάφη ή μέρη με έντονη
παρουσία νερού, όπως μπάνια και τουαλέτες.
lΗ συσκευή θα πρέπει πάντα να τοποθετείται σε όρθια θέση για την αποφυγή βλαβών.
lΔιατηρήστε κλειστά όλα τα παράθυρα και τις πόρτες του δωματίου, όπου λειτουργείτε τον
αφυγραντήρα.
lΣε περίπτωση που εισέλθει νερό στη συσκευή, απενεργοποιήστε αμέσως τον αφυγραντή-
ρα και αποσυνδέστε τον από τη παροχή ρεύματος.
lΠροτού μετακινήσετε τη συσκευή από το ένα μέρος στο άλλο, βεβαιωθείτε ότι ο αφυγρα-
ντήρας παραμένει σε όρθια θέση.
lΑδειάστε το δοχείο νερού, όποτε αυτό γεμίσει, καθώς και σε περιπτώσεις που δεν θα χρη-
σιμοποιηθεί η συσκευή για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα.
lΝα αδειάζετε πάντα το δοχείο νερού, πριν αποθηκεύσετε τη συσκευή.
lΣε περίπτωση που ο αφυγραντήρας απενεργοποιηθεί και τεθεί αμέσως σε λειτουργία ξα-
νά, θα υπάρχει καθυστέρηση 3 λεπτών στην εκκίνηση για λόγους ασφαλείας.
lΣε περίπτωση που ο αφυγραντήρας πέσει ή αναποδογυρίσει, απενεργοποιήστε και απο-
συνδέστε τον από το ρεύμα αμέσως. Βεβαιωθείτε ότι η συσκευή έχει στεγνώσει πλήρως προ-
τού την επανεκκινήσετε.
lΑποσυνδέστε τον αφυγραντήρα, σε περίπτωση που ακούγονται ασυνήθιστοι θόρυβοι ή
εξέρχονται μυρωδιές και καπνός.
lΑν το καλώδιο παροχής ρεύματος είναι κατεστραμμένο, θα πρέπει να αντικατασταθεί άμε-
σα από τον κατασκευαστή, το σέρβις ή άλλον αδειοδοτημένο τεχνικό, ώστε να αποφευχθούν
πιθανά ατυχήματα.
lΜην επιχειρήσετε ποτέ να επέμβετε και να επισκευάσετε μόνοι σας τη συσκευή. Επικοινω-
νήστε με αδειοδοτημένο τεχνικό για την συντήρηση και επισκευή της μονάδας.
lΜην ενεργοποιείτε ή απενεργοποιείτε τη συσκευή συνδέοντας ή αποσυνδέοντάς την από
τη πρίζα.
lΜην εισάγετε αντικείμενα στην εξαγωγή και εισαγωγή αέρα της συσκευής, καθώς υπάρχει
πιθανότητα βλάβης.
lΜην τοποθετείτε βαριά αντικείμενα πάνω στο καλώδιο τροφοδοσίας. Βεβαιωθείτε ότι το
καλώδιο δεν συμπιέζεται.
lΜην τοποθετείτε το καλώδιο τροφοδοσίας κάτω από μοκέτες, καθώς υπάρχει πιθανότη-
τα υπερθέρμανσης.
lΗ συσκευή φέρει ροδάκια για την εύκολη μετακίνηση και τοποθέτηση. Χρειάζεται ιδιαίτε-
ρη προσοχή όταν μετακινείτε τη συσκευή πάνω σε χαλιά, ώστε να μην υπάρχουν εμπόδια
και αναποδογυρίσει ο αφυγραντήρας, αδειάζοντας το νερό που βρίσκεται στο δοχείο περι-
συλλογής.
lΜην κάθεστε ή σκαρφαλώνετε πάνω στη συσκευή.
lΜην επιτρέπετε την απευθείας έκθεση του αφυγραντήρα στην ηλιακή ακτινοβολία ή σε άλ-
λες πηγές θερμότητας.
lΜην λειτουργείτε τη συσκευή κοντά σε πηγές θερμότητας, χημικά, ραδιενεργά στοιχεία,
εύφλεκτα υλικά ή φωτιά.
lΜην αφαιρείτε το δοχείο νερού ενώ η μονάδα βρίσκεται σε λειτουργία.
lΜην χρησιμοποιείτε τη μονάδα χωρίς φίλτρα. Σκόνη και χνούδια θα συσσωρευτούν στη
συσκευή και θα μειώσουν την απόδοσή της.
lΜην πίνετε και μην χρησιμοποιείτε το νερό που συλλέγεται από τον αφυγραντήρα.
lΜην χρησιμοποιείτε τη μονάδα με βρεγμένα χέρια.
