Information about the device
Device description
The device uses the principle of condensation to automatically
dehumidify rooms.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet, the air filter,
the evaporator and to the condenser located behind it. The air is
cooled at the cold evaporator until it is below the dew point.
Water vapour contained in the room air precipitates on the
evaporator fins as condensation or rime. The dehumidified,
cooled air is slightly warmed at the condenser and blown out
again. The drier air thus conditioned mixes with the air in the
room. The humidity in the room where the device is positioned
is reduced as air constantly circulates through the device.
Depending on the air temperature and the relative humidity, the
condensed water either drops continuously or only during the
defrost phase through the integrated drain nozzle into the
condensation tank below. It is fitted with a float to measure the
filling level.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the
functions.
Once the maximum filling level of the condensation tank is
reached or in case the condensation tank is not installed
correctly, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter
Operation) on the control panel is illuminated. The device
switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes out
again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted.
Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a
hose at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to
approx. 30%.
In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes
dryer to dry wet laundry in living or working spaces.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the
room temperature may rise slightly.

Transport and storage
Note
If you store or transport the device improperly, the
device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of
the device.
Transport
Please note that additional transport regulations might apply to
devices containing flammable refrigerants. The equipment's
arrangement and the maximum number of components to be
transported together can be gathered from the applicable
transport regulations.
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with a carry
handle.
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with wheels.
Before transporting the device, observe the following:
• Switch the device off.
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
• Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the
condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).
• Do not use the power cable to drag the device.
• Only wheel the device on a level and smooth surface.
After transporting the device, proceed as follows:
• Set up the device in an upright position after transport.
• Leave the device to rest for 12to24hours, so the
refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait
12to24hours before switching the device back on! Acting
contrary might lead to compressor damage and a
malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be
voided.
Storage
Before storing the device, observe the following:
• Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the
condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
When the device is not being used, observe the following
storage conditions:
• Only store the device in a room measuring more than 4m2.
• dry and protected from frost and heat
• in an upright position where it is protected from dust and
direct sunlight
• with a cover to protect it from invasive dust, if necessary
• Place no further devices or objects on top of the device to
prevent it from being damaged.
