1) Do not block or restrict the
airow around the unit. Make
sure the air inlet exhaust
grills are not obstructed.
Allow 20cm of clearance
around the unit and 40cm
above.
2) Place the unit in an area
where the temperature
levels will not fall bellow 5ºC
(41ºF) There is a possibility
the coils will collect frost at
temperatures that are under
5ºC (41ºF), which may result
in low performance.
3) Ensure the lter is clean.
4) Place unit in vertical
operating position and
allow 2 hours before initial
use in order to avoid
malfunctions.
5) Before the initial operation, please check,
if the water level switch, located within the
water bucket area, is in the right position.

6. CONTROL PANEL • FUNCTIONS
POWER
By pressing the “POWER” button the dehumidier turns on or o. The “POWER” button
and Display will turn on.
• 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.
CONT.
Continuous function: the dehumidifier 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.
• For drying clothes: place the dehumidier in a small room and set nearby
the clothes rack. Keep doors shut and allow the dehumidifier to dry the
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 unit is OFF and the tank of the dehumidier is full, the full indicator will be lit
and the display will read P2. Additionally, when the unit is on and the tank is full, the
compressor stops operation followed by the fan a few minutes later. The full indicator
will ash and the display will show P2.
• Slowly remove the bucket. Grip the handle with caution and carefully pull outwards so
the water does not overow. Do not place the tank on the oor because the bottom of
the tank is uneven. Doing so the tank will fall and the water will be spilled on the oor.
• Empty the water from the tank and place it again in to the device. The water tank,
must be securely and properly placed, for the dehumidier to operate.
• When the water tank is re-installed the unit will automatically restart.

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 window
and the external weather conditions.

In order to access the humidity "+' and "-" range settings,
you rst need to press the "Mode" button, and have no led
indication on the control panel, hence Cont. mode should be
o.
This will allow you to manually change the desired humidity
level.

The exact time needed to dry clothes depend on many
factors, the room's temperature, the humidity level, the
moisture of the clothes etc., so there is no standard time

When the dehumidier reaches its set point it will continue
operating until humidity level reaches the desired setting with
a tolerance of 3%, then the compressor will stop operating
and soon after the fan will stop operating also.

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, άτομα με αναπηρία (ΑμεΑ) ή έλλειψη γνώσης και εμπειρί-
ας, επιβλέπονται, ανάλογα με την περίπτωση, από άτομα υπεύθυνα για την ασφάλειά τους
και δεν αναλαμβάνουν διαδικασίες όπως τον καθαρισμό ή την 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 πιθανότητα
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 φίλτρο. 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.
