ENGLISH
Read this instruction booklet carefully before installing and
using the appliance. In this way, you will obtain the best possible
results and maximum operating safety.
Presentation
The Dehumidifier removes humidity from the air in the areas in which it is installed. The appliance
is compact and fitted with wheels and handles which facilitate its movement.
This appliance is recommended for all rooms in which excessive humidity is liable to build up, e.g.
kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, cellars etc.
Experts have established that optimal atmospheric conditions, both for our physical health and the
preservation of furniture and other items, vary between 45% and 65% relative humidity. It is
therefore advisable to keep rooms within these values.
Electrical connection (U.K. only)
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be
cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere
in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on typer, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved
fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be based until a replacement fuse cover can be
obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base
of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
E
N
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the
terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth
symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal
L
marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Installation
Place the appliance in the room that you wish to dehumidify.
It is essential to leave a space of at least 50 cm. around the appliance in order to ensure adequate
ventilation.
The condensation can be discharged in one of two ways:
A) Discharge into the canister
The condensation generated by the
dehumidifier can be discharged directly into
the canister which is located inside the
appliance (fig. 1).
The canister is easy to extract when it needs
to be emptied. It has an ergonomic form and
is equipped with a handle which makes it
easy to carry and to empty.
B) Continuous External Discharge
If you need to have the appliance working for a long period of time but are unable to empty the
canister repeatedly, it is possible to use the continuous discharge.
It is extremely easy to set the canister up for continuous discharge.
1) Remove the rubber stopper from the spout.
2) Make a hole on the inside of the canister spout using a drill with a fine bit. Fig. 2.
3) Attach the rubber hose to the spout.
4) There is a special pre-marked hole on the panel door of the appliance to allow the hose to pass
through (fig. 3). Before passing the hose through this hole, it is necessary to remove the central disk
from the hole. Be careful to make sure the hose does not have to go “uphill”, or the water will be
left inside the canister.
N.B. Keep hold of the rubber stopper: it can be used both for blocking the hose and for
plugging the spout if the canister is used for discharging in the future (see point A).

Canister Control System
This dehumidifier is equipped with a special intelligent device which checks that it is working
properly.
A warning lamp placed on the control panel comes on to warn the user when:
1. the canister is full ➛ empty the canister
2. the canister is missing ➛ put the canister back into position
3. the canister is badly positioned ➛ position it correctly
4. you are using the continuous discharge and there is a blockage in the hose or the hose goes
“uphill” ➛ remove the blockage.
Once the cause has been removed, the warning lamp goes off and the appliance starts working
again.

Electrical connections
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, check the following:
• The mains power supply must correspond to the power supply shown on the rating plate.
• The power socket and the electrical circuit must be adequate to supply the appliance.
• The power socket must match the plug. If not, have the plug replaced by qualified personnel.
• The power socket must be adequately earthed.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility if these safety regulations are not complied with.
This appliance is manufactured in compliance with EEC directives 89/336 and 73/23.
Description of the controls
Humidistat knob
Canister control
system pilot lamp
Using the dehumidifier
1) Plug the appliance into the power socket.
2) Check that the "Canister control system" pilot lamp is off.
3) The humidistat knob is used to adjust the dehumidification power and hence the level of
humidity (MIN/MED/MAX + CONTINUOUS). If you set the knob on the MIN pos. the appliance
will remove little humidity while positioning the knob on the MAX pos. the humidity removed will
be high.
4) To switch off the appliance, turn the humidistat knob anti-clockwise to the "OFF" position.
Note: To easily select the right humidity level, we suggest you operate as follows:
Turn the humidistat to the “CONTINUOUS” position. When the humidity has reached the
required level (this can take several weeks), slowly turn the humidistat knob anticlockwise
until the dehumidifier turns off. The dehumidifier will then keep the humidity in the
room at the selected level automatically.
When in the dehumidifying function the appliance not only dehumidifies but also heats the
room slightly.

Troubleshooting
Before calling your local authorized Service Centre, check the following:
Problem
The dehumidifier does not
switch on
The appliance does not
dehumidify
The appliance works but the
humidity in the room is not
reduced
Cause
• the appliance is not
plugged in
• the humidistat is set to the
minimum position
• the canister is full
• the canister is not in
position
• the filter is dirty
• the temperature or
humidity in the room is too
low
• the room is too big
• too many sources of
humidity in the room (e.g.
boiling saucepans, etc.)
Solution
• insert the plug into the
socket
• adjust the humidistat to
the desired position
• empty the canister
• position the canister
correctly
• clean the filter
• in this case a safety
device will intermittently
turn off the equipment. It
is perfectly normal,
however, that under
certain circumstances
the equipment will not
dehumidify. In these
conditions we suggest
you to heat the room to
be dehumidified
