Before initial use
♦ Place the appliance on a flat, dry and solid surface.
♦ Allow the appliance to remain in the deployment position for approx.
30 minutes so that the coolant can pool.
♦ Check that the float, located on the right-hand side of the water tank 5,
is able to move freely.
♦ Check whether the water tank 5has been correctly inserted.
♦ Connect the mains plug into a mains power socket.
Electrical connection
CAUTION
► Before connecting the appliance, compare the specifications for the
required input voltage on the rating plate with the voltage source desig-
nated for operation. These data must be congruent so that no damage is
sustained by the appliance.
► The power cable must always be easily accessible, so that the appliance
can be swiftly removed from the mains in the event of an emergency.
► Ascertain that the power cable is undamaged and that it is not routed over
hot surfaces and/or sharp edges, otherwise it will become damaged.
► Ensure that the power cable is not taut or kinked.
Guidelines for operation
■ Should the air in your living spaces consistently evince excess relative humidity,
the cause should be identified and addressed. (Sustained - year-round - venting
is generally inappropriate.)
■ The optimal ambient temperature for dehumidifying the air is 5 °C to 35 °C.
Using a dehumidifier at temperatures below 5 °C is redundant, as there is little
humidity in the air.
■ During operation, room temperature can increase by between 1 °C and 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. This involves activation of dehumidification, with the motor running
at the highest setting. The ranges involved vary.

Selecting programmes
NOTE
► The values defined for relative humidity (rh) are recognised, allowing for a
deviation of approx. ±3%. This is necessary so that the appliance does not
constantly switch itself on and off.
■ The appliance has 4 distinct programmes.
■ You switch between the programmes by pressing the MODE button 24 .
■ The LED programme 16 before the active programme glows.
AUTOMATIC MODE
The relative humidity (rh) to be attained is permanently set to 55%. The compressor
effects dehumidification until this value has been attained, and then switches off.
If relative humidity again increases, the compressor switches on again.
In this programme, the appliance works at 3 distinct levels of intensity:
–rh above 70%: The appliance dehumidifies at the highest level.
–rh between 55% and 70%: The appliance dehumidifies at standard
intensity.
–rh below 55%: No dehumidification; only the fan continues to run.
NOTE
► The rh values specific to AUTOMATIC mode are not identical to the values
HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW on the display 17 .
Select this programme for sustained dehumidification at a comfortable relative
humidity of 55%.
TARGET HUMIDITY
In the TARGET HUMIDITY programme, you can select relative humidity in 5%
increments between 30% and 80% by pressing the arrow keys 23 . The appli-
ance dehumidifies at a low level of intensity until the defined value has been at-
tained, and then switches off. If relative humidity again increases, the compressor
switches on again.
–30% – 80%: setting for the room's desired relative humidity

Tube drainage
In very damp rooms, it is often more appropriate for the water not to collect in
the water tank, but for it to be drained directly by means of a tube.
WARNING
► When draining via the tube, sustained operation of the appliance is man-
dated. This means that the condensate must be able to drain securely so

CAUTION
Potential appliance damage!
► Protect the appliance from moisture and from the ingress of fluids.
► To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance, never immerse it in water.
► Always remove the mains plug from the mains power socket before clean-
ing the appliance.
► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, as these may corrode
the surface of the casing.
► Do not clean the water tank 5in a dishwasher. Otherwise, it will be
damaged.
♦ If required, wipe the casing with a slightly damp cloth.
♦ Remove the water tank 5and pour away the water; then dry the water
tank 5thoroughly, both inside and out, before replacing it.
♦ In order to clean the inside of the water tank 5, you must remove the black
lid. To do this, release the carrying handle from the retainer while pressing
it out sideways. When doing so, ensure that the handle plug coincides with
the opening in the water container (See Figure 3.)
Fig. 3
♦ Now, remove the black lid from the water tank 5.
♦ To insert, follow the reverse sequence.
♦ It is recommended that the water tank 5be cleaned regularly every two
weeks to prevent the build-up of mould and bacteria. To do this, fill the
water tank 5with lukewarm water, adding a standard detergent. Rinse
repeatedly with lukewarm water. In addition, disinfection is recommended
following cleaning. To do this, use a standard, alcohol-based disinfecting
agent or high-proof alcohol. Both substances are completely harmless if
followed by repeated rinsing with lukewarm water.
