SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

• Carefully read the instructions before operating the unit.

• This appliance only intended for use in an indoor domestic

environment. Any other use is not recommended by the
manufacturer and may cause fire, electrical shock or other injuries
to person or damage to property.

• Rating: This unit must only be connected to an AC 220-240V / 50
Hz earthed outlet. Installation must be in accordance with the
regulations of the country where the unit is used.

• If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your electrical
supply, have it checked and, if necessary, modified by a qualified
electrician.

• This dehumidifier has been tested and is safe to use. However, as
with any electrical appliance – care must be taken during use.

• Disconnect the power from the appliance before dismantling,
assembling or cleaning.

• Avoid touching any moving parts of the appliance.

• Never insert fingers, pencils or any other objects through the

guard.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. It
is also not intended for use by those with a lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

• Do not leave children unsupervised with this appliance.

• Do not clean the unit by spraying it or immersing it in water.

• Never connect the unit to an electrical outlet using an extension

cord. If a power outlet is not available, one should be installed by
a qualified electrician.

• Never operate this appliance if the cord, power adapter or plug is
damaged. Ensure the power cord is not stretched or exposed to
sharp object/edges.

• A damaged power supply cord should be replaced by the
manufacturer or a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.

• Any service other than regular cleaning or filter replacement
should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Failure to comply could result in a voided warranty.

• Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended
use.

• Do not tilt the unit while in use. The unit is designed to work only
in a vertical position. This dehumidifier must always be stored
upright, otherwise irreparable damage may be caused.

• This unit will still operate for approximatively 3-4 minute after
pressing the power button to turn off. This is normal and ensures
the desiccant wheel is drained of water. Avoid restarting the
dehumidifier until 5 minutes have passed after being turned off.

• Never use the mains plug as a switch to start or turn off the
dehumidifier.

Use the provided power button located on the control panel.

• Always place the unit on a dry and stable surface.

• The appliance should not be installed in a laundry or wet room

where the humidity is higher than 85% RH. This unit should be
operated at an ambient temperature between 1°C and 32°C.

• Do not dry laundry directly above the unit. To prevent water from
entering the dehumidifier, laundry should be placed at least 40 cm
away from your dehumidifier.

• Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires,
fireplaces, etc.)

• Desiccant dehumidifiers tend to absorb odours from the
surrounding environment like cigarettes, cooking, cosmetics, new
furniture etc. This smell is described as a burning or sour smell.
This is released during operation as the zeolite disc is heated.
This is not a sign of a fault and the smell will fade after usage.

• Do not store or use gasoline, petrol, paint, solvents or other
flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this dehumidifier or
any other appliance. Do not use dehumidifiers where flammable
gases or VOC can be released or accumulate.

ENERGY SAVING AND UNIT SAFETY PROTECTION TIPS

Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
For maximum performance, the unit should be operated at least
20 cm away from walls and 50 cm from other objects within the
room.
Keep the filters and grills of the appliance clean. Under normal
conditions, filters and grills should only need cleaning once every
three weeks (approximately). Do not use the unit without the mesh
air filter as this will allow dirt to gather inside the dehumidifier, which
could invalidate the warranty.
A dirty filter will restrict the airflow into the machine, which will
increase the resistance on the fan and could result in damage and
might invalidate the warranty.
Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning
may be necessary depending on the air quality. Vacuum and wash
the mesh filters with hot soapy water and dry them before placing
them back in the unit.
