Information about the device

Description of the device

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

Operating elements) 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

Notice

If you store or transport the device improperly, the

device may be damaged.

Note the information regarding transport and storage of

the device.

Transport

To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with wheels.

To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with a carry

handle.

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.

• Do not use the power cable to drag the device.

• Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the

condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).

• Only wheel the device on a level and smooth surface.

After transporting the device, observe the following:

• 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, proceed as follows:

• Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the

condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).

• Empty and clean the condensation tank prior to storage.

Drain any possibly remaining condensate.

When the device is not being used, observe the following

storage conditions:

• 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.

heavily contaminated. This could reduce the

performance and result in damage to the device.

• Make sure that the air filter is installed before switching

the device on.

Inserting the condensation tank

• Ensure that the float inside the condensation tank is

inserted correctly.

• Ensure that the condensation tank is empty and inserted

correctly.
