Before initial use
♦ Place the appliance on a flat, dry and solid surface.
♦ Leave the appliance in the operating position for approx. 30 minutes to
allow the refrigerant to settle.
♦ Check that the water tank 6is correctly inserted.
♦ Insert the plug into a mains power socket. You will hear a beep.
Electrical connection
ATTENTION
► Before connecting the appliance, compare the specifications for the
required input voltage on the rating plate with the intended voltage source
for operation. This data must match to prevent damage to the appliance.
► The power cable must always be easily accessible, so that the appliance
can be quickly removed from the mains in the event of an emergency.
► Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and is not routed over any
hot surfaces and/or sharp edges; otherwise it will become damaged.
► Ensure that the power cable is not taut or kinked.
Guidelines for operation
■ If the air in your living spaces is constantly excessively humid, the cause should
be identified and addressed. Sustained – year-round – dehumidifying is
generally not a good idea.
■ The optimal ambient temperature for dehumidifying the air is 5°C to 32°C.
Using a dehumidifier at temperatures below 5°C is redundant, as there is little
humidity in the air.
■ During operation, the room temperature may increase by 1°C to 4°C, depending
on the size of the room. This is normal.
Automatic defrosting
To ensure that the appliance does not ice up during sustained operation, it defrosts
automatically. The defrosting function is activated automatically and cannot
be switched on manually. Do not switch off the appliance during automatic
defrosting and do not disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. During
defrosting, appears on the displayw. Dehumidification is briefly paused,
but the fan continues to run. The duration of the defrosting process may vary. The
lower the ambient temperature, the earlier or more often the automatic defrosting
is activated. Once the defrosting process is complete, the appliance resumes
operation in the previously selected settings.

■ 12 │ GB│IE SLE 200 A1

The appliance has 2 programmes:
▯ DEHUMIDIFICATION ( )
▯ FAN ( )
♦ Press thebutton trepeatedly to select the desired programme. The
selected programme flashes for approx. 5 seconds and is then shown
permanently on the displayw.
DEHUMIDIFICATION
This programme allows you to set the desired relative air humidity level that
should be achieved.
♦ Press the buttonrto set the desired relative humidity in 5% increments
between 30% and 80%. The set value flashes for approx. 5 seconds on the
display wand then the current programme ( ) is shown again.
You also have the option to select the setting if you want to set the relative
humidity below 30%. This setting allows you to achieve a very low relative
humidity as the dehumidification runs permanently.
♦ Press the buttonrrepeatedly until is shown on the displayw.
NOTE
► Note that the values for the relative humidity have a tolerance of approx.±3%
and that there may be a slight delay before the appliance itself/the de-
humidification function switches on or off.
► The minimum humidity that can be achieved in continuous dehumidification
mode ( ) is dependent on many factors, such as the room size or the
ambient temperature, etc. Therefore, it is not possible to define a generally
applicable minimum value.
FAN
No dehumidification takes place in this programme. The room air is drawn in
through the air inlet3, passes through the filter5and is discharged back into
the room through the air outlet7.
Select this programme if you want to circulate but not dehumidify the air in the
room.

■ 14 │ GB│IE SLE 200 A1
Timer function
