Thank you for choosing this dehumidifier. To get the very best
out of your dehumidifier it is advisable to read these instructions
before using the appliance. By doing so you will obtain optimum
results and maximum safety.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the power socket, check that:
• The mains power supply corresponds to the power supply indicated on the rating plate.
• The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
• The power socket matches the plug.If this is not the case,have the
plug replaced by a qualified electrician;
• The power socket must be adequately earthed;
Failure to respect this safety rule absolves the manufactur er fr om all liability.
This appliance is manufactured in compliance with EEC standard EN
55014 on the suppression of radio interference.
• The cable must be replaced by approved service personnel only.
Installation
1) Positioning
Position y our dehumidifier wherev er your condensation or damp pr oblem is. A
clear area of at least 50cm must be left at the front and back of the dehumidifier to ensure adequate ventilation. Do not place the dehumidifier next to a
radiator or other heat source as this will reduce its performance.
For ongoing usage we suggest positioning in a hallway or on a landing.
Please remember to keep internal doors ajar to allow air circulation.
Before using your dehumidifier for the first time,it should be stood
upright for 24hrs prior to use. When moving it from room to room
it is advisable to wait an hour before using it again.
2) Water Collection
The water collected (condensate) can be drained in one of two ways:
A) Draining into the tank
The condensate can be drained directly into the tank located inside
the appliance (fig.1).
The tank can be easily removed by pulling firmly on the tw o sides of the
tank.It also has a handle making it simple to carry and empty.
B) Continuous external draining
If the appliance is to be operated for long periods of time but you are
unable to empty the tank,you are recommended to use the continuous drain facility.
• Drill the inside of the drain spout using a small drill bit.(Fig. 2).
• Fasten the rubber hose to the spout.For models without drain
hoses supplied,we suggest you purchase a rubber hose around 2m
long,with an internal diameter of 9.5 mm.
• Make sure that the hose is not higher than the spout (Fig.3),otherwise
water will remain in the tank;also check that the hose is not twisted.
N.B: Keep the rubber bung. You will need it to plug the hose or close
the spout if you revert to draining into the tank (see point A).

Controls
Tank control system
This dehumidifier is fitted with a special device to ensure correct
operation.
A red indicator light on the control panel comes on to warn the
user when:
1. the tank is full empty the tank
2. the tank is missing replace the tank
3. the tank is in the wrong position position the tank correctly
4. in continuous drain: the hose is obstructed or placed too high
above the drain spout remove the obstruction.
Once the cause has been eliminated, the light goes out and the
appliance resumes operation.
Dehumidification light (DEC16)
This switches on when the machine is dehumidifying.The light
remains on only when the appliance is effectively dehumidifying; if
the humidity in the room is already low enough,the light will be
off.
Dehumidification standby/low temperature
operation light
The light comes on in the following two cases:
1) To signal a delay of around 3 minutes in the start-up of the
appliance. This is due to a safety device which protects the compressor.
2) To signal low temperature operation.When the room temperature is too low, the electronic low temperature operation
device is activated. This device allows the appliance to operate
by alternating dehumidification cycles and fan only cycles.
This is to avoid the formation of ice.For frequent use in cold
environments,it is recommended to heat the room at the same
time. This allows the dehumidifier to operate in conditions that
ensure better performance and faster dehumidification.
