Before initial use
♦ Place the appliance on a flat, dry and solid surface.
♦ Allow the appliance to remain in the usage position for approx. 30 minutes
so that the coolant can settle.
♦ Check that the water tank 4is correctly inserted.
♦ Insert the plug into a mains power socket. The OPERATION LED o
flashes.
Electrical connection
CAUTION
► 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 agree so that the appliance is not damaged.
► 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.
► Check whether 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
■ 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, 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. The defrosting function is activated automatically and
cannot be switched on manually. The appliance cannot be switched off during
defrosting. During defrosting, the AUTO DE-ICING LED jlights up. The
lower the ambient temperature at which the appliance is operated, the earlier or
more often the automatic defrosting is activated. Once the defrosting process is
complete, the appliance resumes operation in the previous selected settings.

SLE 320 D5
Hose drainage
In very humid rooms, it often makes more sense to drain off the water directly via a
hose rather than collect it in the water tank 4 . You can use the supplied hosekor
the EU garden hose adapter l to set up a permanent drainage outlet.
CAUTION
►When draining via the hose, the appliance runs continuously. When draining
via the hose, make sure that it is not kinked and that it runs downwards
along the entire length. Otherwise, the water may flow back into the
appliance and damage it.
►Check the entire connection system regularly for leaks.
♦Connect either the supplied hose kor the EU garden hose adapter lto
the outlet opening 9(see figures 3 + 4).
♦When using the EU garden hose adapter l, screw a garden hose onto
the EU garden hose adapter l(see figure 4).
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
CAUTION
►Screw the EU garden hose adapter lhand-tight only.
Do not use a wrench as this may damage the EU garden hose adapter l.
NOTE
►Depending on the garden hose system you use, you may need an addition-
al adapter. These are available from specialist stores.
♦Set up the appliance so that the end of the hose is positioned over a drain.
The open end of the hose must lie below the outlet opening 9of the appli-
ance (i.e. the hose must have a downwards gradient).
