Installation
A) Empty the tank manually.
When the tank is full, remove (fig.1) and
empty into a sink.
When finished, replace it properly.
NOTE: The tank must be positioned correctly.
An intermittent beep means the tank is not
correctly positioned.
B) Continuous drain.
Condensate can be drained via a hose connected to the outlet at the bottom of the tank.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the tank.
2. Drill a hole in the bottom of the tank using a 5
mm drill bit as shown in figure 2.
3. Connect the hose to the outlet (fig. 3).
Make sure the hose is free of kinks or bends.
To ensure correct drainage, make sure the
end of the hose is not higher than the outlet
(fig. 4).
NOTE: If you do not wish to use the hose, the
hole can be closed with the rubber bung
provided.
C) Continuous external drain with pump
Thanks to the exclusive condensate drain
system, the hose can be used to drain condensate with a difference in level of up to 4 m
between the end of the hose and the outlet.
For pump assisted drainage, connect the hose
to the connection on the bottom of the appliance (fig. 5).
Select the dehumidifying function and press the
pump button.
Note: If the condensate hose is not in place and
the pump is activated, the pump light will flash.
To eliminate this problem:
• Position the hose correctly;
• Unplug the appliance from the mains socket
then plug in again.

WARNING
Electrical Shock
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before performing any care and maintenance operation.
Failure to follow this precaution could be dangerous and result in electrical shock.
Maintenance
Your dehumidifier is designed for all-year use.
The care and maintenance instructions are given below.
Cleaning the Front Panel and Cabinet
• Use a soft cloth to clean the front panel and cabinet with warm water and mild soap or
detergent.
•Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the control panel and cabinet with a soft dry cloth.
NOTE: Never sprinkle the appliance with water to avoid the risk of short circuit and fire.
• Never use gasoline, thinner or any other similar chemicals for cleaning.
• Do not use bleach or abrasives.
Cleaning the Air Filter
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and dehumidifying becomes inefficient. It is therefore good practice to clean
the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation.
•To remove the air filter, pull it out (Fig. 6).
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated dust. If the
filter is very dirty, wash in warm water and rinse several
times.
• After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before
replacing it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE
2002/96/EC.
