SOME NOTIONS ON

HUMIDITY

Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapour. This determines the level of humidity in an atmosphere.

The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with temperature.

This is why in our homes, as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses, as is evident on the colder surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls etc. The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air, avoiding the damage caused by condensation.

Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and for the home are obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity. Lower relative humidity can be achieved with higher room temperatures. For lower room temperatures the achievable relative humidity will be on the higher side, closer to 60%. Therefore, with lower room temperatures, you are recommended to heat the room even minimally.

This considerably increases the dehumidifying power of the appliance.

With heating, the condensation formed by the water vapour on windows and other cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be collected by the dehumidifier.

Do not install the appliance in rooms containing gas, oil or sulphur. Do not install near sources of heat.

Do not use the appliance on sloping surfaces.

Keep the appliance at least 2 ft (61cm) away from flammable substances (alcohol etc) or pressurised containers (e.g. aerosol cans).

Do not rest heavy or hot objects on top of the appliance.

Always transport the appliance upright, NOT on its side.

Remember to drain the condensate tank before moving the appliance.

If the appliance was transported on its side, you must wait at least 6 hours before using it (24 hrs is recommended).

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION: This unit contains fluorinated greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol. Avoid perforating the refrigerant circuit of the appliance.

Maintenance and disposal must be carried out by qualified personnel only (R410A, GWP=1975).

The materials used for packaging can be recycled.

You are therefore recommended to dispose of them in special differentiated waste collection containers.

Instructions

Read these instructions carefully before installing and/or using the appliance.

Keep these instructions.

If the appliance is transferred to other owners, they should also be given these instructions.

Failure to respect the instructions may result in injury or damage to the appliance.

The manufacturer is not liable for damage deriving from failure to follow these instructions.

Electrical connections

Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:

The outlet, power supply corresponds to the working voltage indicated on the rating plate.

The power outlet, and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.

The power outlet, matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced by a qualified electrician;

The outlet is properly grounded.

INSTALLATION

Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified. A free space of at least 2 ft (61 cm) must be left at the front of the dehumidifier, so as not to block the air outlet.

For efficient ventilation a space of about 2-4 in (5- 10 cm) should be left at the back of the appliance. The condensate can be drained in one of the following ways:

A) Draining into the tank

The condensate can be drained directly into the tank. The tank can be easily removed (fig.1). When the tank is full, remove (fig.1) and empty it into a sink. When finished, replace it properly.

NOTE: The tank must be positioned porperly for the unit to function.

If you hear the intermittent sound of the beep, it means the tank is not in the proper position.

B) Continuous external draining

If the appliance is to be operated for long periods but you are unable to empty the tank regularly, you are recommended to use continuous draining.

2)Insert the drain cap 1 in the condensate drain hose (8) till the end (fig. 3) then screw the cap into the spout. (fig. 4).

fig. 3

3)Make sure the end of the hose is no higher than the spout (Fig. 3) or water could remain in the tank. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose (Fig. 5).

Keep the rubber stopper to close the spout.

C) Continuous draining using the pump (only on pump models)

The patented heavy-duty pump system allows water removal of up to 13 ft (4m) in height.

If you want the water to flow directly to a drain, connect the condensation discharge tube supplied

(9) to the connection pipe located on the

lower front part of the unit unit (you will first need to remove the stopper labeled PUMP) (fig. 6). Select the dehumidifying function and press the PUMP button.

Note: With the condensation discharge hose missing and the pump switched ON, the display will show the symbol PUMP blinking.

To eliminate this problem:

Check the hose is correctly positioned;

Disconnect and reconnect the plug.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations.

For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a jet of water.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.

Do not use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.

Do not spray liquid insecticide or similar products as they may deform the plastic.

Cleaning the air filter

If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases.

It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation.

If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week.

To remove the filter, pull it down as shown in figure.

fig. 7

If the appliance is not used for long periods

After unplugging the appliance from the power outlet, empty the tank.

Clean and reposition the filter.

Cover the appliance with a plastic bag to protect it from dust.
