Information about the device

Device description

The device serves the purpose of cooling the room air. It further

filters and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room

climate.

The unit cools the room air by withdrawing warmth. The

absorbed warmth is emitted to the outside via the exhaust air

hose; cooled air is fed to the installation site by means of a fan.

Accumulating condensate drips from the evaporator onto the hot

condenser, there it evaporates and then is transported to the

outside via the exhaust air hose.

In ventilation mode the device provides the opportunity of air

circulation without cooling effect.

In dehumidification mode moisture is withdrawn from the air.

The device operates fully automatically and features a variety of

further options. The device can, for instance, be switched on or

off automatically with time delay via the timer function.

Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel at

the device or via the supplied infrared remote control.

The device was designed for universal and flexible application.

Due to its compact dimensions it can be easily transported and

used in all interior spaces.
