These operating instructions must be read ca-
refully before commissioning/using the unit!
These instructions are part of the unit and
musst always be kept near to the site of in-
stallation or unit.
The units are designed for universal and pro-
blem-free dehumidification.
Owing to their compact size, they are easy to
transport and install.
The units operate according to the adsorption
principle and are provided with ioniser, low noise
and maintenance recirculation fans as well as
power cord with plug.
The fully automatic control, the condensate con-
tainer with integrated overflow protection and the
drain connection for direct condensate discharge
ensure troublefree operation.
The units comply with the fundamental safety
and health requirements of the pertinent EU di-
rectives.
The units are reliable and easy to operate.
The units are used wherever dehumidification is
necessary and consequential damage (e.g. due
to mould formation) is to be avoided.
Unit description
The units are also suitable for drying and de-
humidification of:
• Living rooms, bedrooms, shower or cellar
rooms, lofts.
• Utilityrooms,weekendhomes,caravans.
• Museums,archives,laboratories.

The air flow is cooled on its way through or via the condenser to below the dew point. The water
vapour condenses and is collectes in a condensate trap and discharged.
Operation
The units can be switched on and off with the ON/
OFF button. The LED of the last selected mode
lights up in the control panel. The recirculation
fan draws in the humid room air via the inlet gril-
le with filter, condenser and following adsorption
rotor.
In the internal regeneration circuit, the air flows
across a heating element, dries the adsorption-
rotor and passes the humid air through the con-
denser.
On the colder condenser, heat is removed from
the room air and cooled to below dew-point. The
water vapour contained in the room air deposits
as condensate.
Depending on the room air temperature and re-
lative humidity, the condensed water constantly
drips through the integrated drain connection into
the condensate container located below.
The conditioned drier air continuously mixes with
the room air. Due to the constant circulation of
the room air through the unit, the relative humidi-
ty in the room is gradually reduced to the requi-
red humidity (45% relative humidity).
A float switch in the condensate container inter-
rupts dehumidification via a microswitch when
the container is full. The units switch off with an
audible signal (5x) and the „FULL TANK“ indicator
light illuminates on the control panel. This does
not extinguish until the emptied condensate is re-
fitted. The units return to the previously selected
mode.
In an unsupervised continuous mode with exter-
nal conensate connection, the produced conden-
sate is continuously drained via a hose connec-
tion on the condensate container.

This ensures optimal unit operation!
• itmust beensuredthat sensitiveitems,e.g.
indoor plants are not placed directly in the air
flow.
IONISER
The unit has an ioniser generator to produce ne-
gative ions.
A high concentration of negative ions occurs, e.g.
in mountainous regions, at waterfalls and in fo-
rests the air we inhale is „pure“. Only a small ion
concentration is present in rooms.
Here, the ion generator is able to enrich the oxy-
gen molecule ions in the circulated air and provi-
de a pleasant atmosphere.
Also, suspended and dust particles in the air are
bound so that natural air purification can take
place.
As a result of ionisation, the dust is able to acu-
mulate on smooth surfaces and removed manu-
ally.
This function is active in all modes after selec-
tion.
