Intended use

The dehumidier is designed only for use for dehumidifying in privately used rooms

(e.g. living rooms, bedrooms, storage areas or basements). The user must observe all the

operational parameters specied in this manual. The device is allowed to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any dama-

ge or injuries of any kind resulting from such misuse.

Operating instructions

The device is designed for a temperature range of between 5°C and 32°C. At below 5°C the humidity level tends to be very low, such that there is no need for a dehumidier. At above

32°C it is possible that the overheating guard will shut the device down automatically. The device does not have approval for operation outside the given temperature range.

To enable the dehumidier to dehumidify the air to optimum eect, it warms the air. The

room temperature may therefore rise by 1-2 degrees. This is perfectly normal and increases

the eciency of the device. To operate eciently in energy terms, the device switches o automatically once the set hu-

midity level has been reached. If the humidity level increases again, the device switches on again automatically.

The device switches o automatically when the water tank is full.

Place face to the front of the unit and lift it when move the machine.

Setting up instructions

Remove all the strips of adhesive tape which were used as transport braces. Make sure that the device is stood securely on a dry surface. Ensure that the device cannot cause any water damage if water were to escape from the water tank.

Before you start the device, always let it stand in its nal position for at least 2 hours to allow

the coolant to settle and ensure that there is no risk of damage to the compressor. Make sure that the device is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Check that the oat is correctly positioned and moves easily.

Make sure that the water tank is correctly positioned.

Make sure that the socket outlet is tted with a residual current protective device circuit-

breaker (earth-leakage circuit-breaker). If you are unsure whether this is the case, ask your electrician or use a personal protection plug (available from your DIY store).

Before starting up

Make sure that the Comedes Demecto 70 is switched o.

Starting up

Check the cable for damage before you insert the power plug. The device may only be used if

the power cable is in awless condition. Plug in the power cable and turn the hygrostat switch

to the desired humidity level.

IMPORTANT: Always allow the device to run for at least 35 minutes before you switch it o, and never switch it on and o continuously in quick succession. Otherwise there is a risk of

damage to the compressor. The higher the humidity in a room and the higher the temperature in that room, the more effectively the Comedes Demecto 70 can dehumidify the air. The compressor therefore generates heat and warms up the air in the room. This is perfectly normal and is no cause for alarm.

When the product shut down, please wait at least 3 minutes before moving the unit, so that all water can run into the water tank.

ON-/OFF Button

Press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on and o. When the unit is switched on, the „operation“-LED ashs.

Humiditiy setting:

The device is equipped with a modern Hygrostat (humidistat) and turns o automatically after reaching the desired humidity, to save power. If the humidity increase in the room again, the Comedes Demecto 70 will automatically restart.

Repeatedly pressing the „ “ button, to set an target humidity of CO, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and AU. The hysteresis of the device is approximately 3%.

During operation, the current humidity is displayed on the display. If the actual humidity is

below 35% the display will show „LO“. When the humidity is above 95% the display will show „HI“.

Continuous operation (CO):

With the setting „CO“, the unit will dehumidie with maximum capacity and won‘t switch o

till the the water tank is full.

Comfort mode (AU):

With this setting, the unit operates in a automatic mode, which is inuenced by temperature.

1. At a temperature below 5 ° C, the compressor stops.

2. At a temperature between 5 ° C and 20 ° C, an target humidity of 60% is automatically

set.

3. At a temperature between 20 ° C and 27 ° C, an target humidity of 55% is automatically

set.

4. At a temperature above 27 ° C, a target humidity of 50% is automatically set.

Timer

With the timer you can set the start- and run-time of the unit. You can set the time between 1 and 24 hours.

When the time is up, the unit will switch on or o. When the timer LED is o, the unit is running in continuous mode.

To set a start time, press the timer button when the unit is in standby.

To set the run time of the dehumidier, press the timer button when the unit is switched on. After setting the run time, the time will be shown for about 5 seconds on the display, then the

current humidity is displayed again. If you press the timer button again, the current run time will be displayed again for 5 seconds.

Speed

Use the „Speed“ button to switch between high (HI) and low (LOW) fan speed.

Emptying the water tank:

When the water tank is full, the Comedes LTR 600 switches o automatically and the red LED (tank “Full” indicator, Fig. 3) will

light up. You need to empty the water tank before you can continue using the Demecto 70.

Hose drainage

The Comedes Demecto 70 can also be operated with a drainage

hose. To do so, remove the water tank and x a drainage hose

Ø12mm (not included). Put the hose into the recess on the tank, insert the tank again and guide the hose into a drain channel. Make sure that the drain is not higher than the connection on the

device, to ensure that the water can drain o unhindered.

Recommendations for drying with the Comedes Demecto 70

To achieve the best possible dehumidifying results with the Demecto 70 while using as little energy as possible, we oer the following tips: Since this manual can only oer a limited amount of advice, we would recommend that you consult the more detailed information available at: www.luftentfeuchter-tipps.de

Basic principles of dehumidifying with the Comedes LTR 600

The dehumidier works in a similar way to a refrigerator with a refrigeration machine. This

generates a cold surface (on the vaporizer) on which water condenses. Depending on the humidity and ambient temperature the water condenses at dew point temperature. To enable

the dehumidier to dehumidify, the temperature of the cold surface must be below the dew

point temperature. Given that the water would freeze if the dew point temperature was nega-

tive, the dehumidier only works if the dew point temperature is positive. To ensure that this is the case, the dehumidier is equipped with a modern, temperature-controlled automatic

defroster which maintains the vaporizer temperature between approximately 0°C and 5°C.

For eective dehumidifying the dew point temperature for the LTR 100 needs to be above

5°C. If the dew point temperature is below this level, dehumidifying will either not be possible at all or only very ineciently. Refer to the following table to determine the dew point temperature in your particular case. Where dew point temperatures are too low it is advisable to turn on the heating.

Drying to deal with problems with condensation damp

Condensation damp generally occurs in basements when moist air penetrates the basement in summer and condenses on the cold walls of the basement. We recommend that you dehumidify the basement, room by room, in continuous operation. To start, run the device in continuous operation mode until you see that the amount of water that you are emptying out of the tank each day starts to reduce. Then move the device to the next room. Once you have dried all the rooms in this way we recommend that you select a central location for the device and then run it in automatic mode. We recommend a humidity setting of approximately the

middle setting of the regulator knob. This method of dehumidifying is more ecient in energy

terms than dehumidifying in automatic mode from the start, because if you do the latter the device will switch on and o a lot.

Drying to deal with building defects or water damage

In the case of building defects or water damage, the cause needs to be eliminated rst. Once

this has been done the rooms can be dried using condensation driers such as the Demecto

70. In this case the dehumidier is run in continuous operation mode. The ambient temperature needs to be at least 20°C (but not above 27°C). Additional heating can be provided by

an electric heater if necessary. Gas radiant heaters are not suitable! To generate the air circulation required, fans can be used in the room. Please note that the insulation layer may also need to be dried, depending on the nature of the building defects. This will have to be undertaken by a specialist rm.

Recommended humidity levels for rooms

As a general rule this is dependent on the ambient temperature. The higher the temperature of the room, the lower the setting for the relative humidity needs to be, otherwise it will

encourage the growth of fungus or mold in the room. A pleasant level of humidity is between 35% and 65% relative humidity, depending on the ambient temperature. The following diagram provides a point of reference for the optimum level of humidity at die-

rent ambient temperatures.

The diagram is based on the assumption that temperatures >=20°C are for living quarters and temperatures <=20°C are for basement quarters.

Maintenance

The Comedes LTR 600 is largely maintenance-free.

To maintain the level of dehumidifying eciency you need to clean the lter at least once a month, or more often if

necessary. To do this, switch o the device, pull the power cable

Filter

Handle

and remove the nylon lter at the front of the device. Rinse the lter with warm water and allow to dry. You can then t it back on the device.

Check the hose used for the drainage regularly for blockages and damage. If the hose is blocked or damaged, replace it with a new one.
