1. SAFETY MEASURES

2. SPECIFICATIONS FOR USE

The units are designed especially for use in indoor swimming pools, spas and saunas. They can also be very useful in laundries,
drying rooms and elsewhere.
The Microwell DRY 300 PLASTIK is designed for halls with a swimming pool surface area of up to 30 m . The Microwell DRY 500
PLASTIC is designed for halls with a swimming pool surface area of up to 60 m .
The condition for using the unit is maintaining the room temperature within the range between a minimum of 22°C and
a maximum of 35°C. Ideally, the air in the room should be 2-3 °C warmer than the water in the swimming pool.

The built-in humidistat is located at the bottom of the unit, on the left. The built-in hygrostat reads the humidity of the incoming air
and, depending on the set value, does or does not switch the compressor on. In the central position of the regulator, the unit secures
the average relative humidity of 60%. In indoor swimming pool halls, the correct air humidity should range from 55 to 65%.
Decreasing the humidity under this range is not desirable either from the physiological viewpoint orfromtheviewpointof protection
of the building. Moreover,itincreasestheelectricity consumption. Thehumidistat can be controlled bythe user.

3.2.

Humidity control by means of a remote humidistat (upon request)

The dehumidifier may be, upon request, equipped with a remote humidistat. In such case, the dehumidifier has two humidistats.
One of them is built in the dehumidifier; the other one is remote, in a separate casing. The dehumidifier is primarily controlled by
the remote humidistat, provided that the built-in humidistat inthe dehumidifier is set for a higher value than the remote humidistat.
If the built-in humidistat were set for a lower value than the remote humidistat, it would take over and the control of the
dehumidifier would not react to the signals from the remote humidistat. Therefore, it is best to set the built-in humidistat to the
value of 70 % RH or more. The built-in humidistat fulfils a back-up function, should the remote humidistat fail to function or should
its battery go flat.It is bestto setthe remotehumidistat tothe value in theextent of55 to65 %RH. Decreasing thehumidity under
this range is not desirable either from the physiological viewpoint or from the viewpoint of protection of the building. Moreover, it
increases the electricityconsumption.

Location:

Automatic mode:

Changing the battery:

The remote humidistat is to be located in the most humid area of the room - usually in a corner directly opposite the dehumidifier.
This guarantees that the humidity of any area of the swimming pool hall will not exceed the humidity value set in the remote
humidistat. The regulator must not be placed on a metal plate because the plate would disturb the high frequency signal and thus
prevent the communicationwith the remote-controlled switch inthe unit.

If the airin the room exceeds the desired humidityvalue, the regulatorwill switch the dehumidifier on.

The remote humidistat is charged by a 2 1.5V alkaline battery. Only alkaline batteries may be used, since non-alkaline batteries
might leak and damage the whole appliance. The durabilit of a battery is approximately 12 months. The regulator automatically
checks the level of its battery. If the battery voltage drops under the permitted value, battery sign on the display of the humidistat
comes on. It is then necessary to change the battery as soon as possible. If the battery is not changed and goes flat,
the dehumidifier willbe controlled by the built-in humidistat inthe dehumidifier.

Automatic function during a power failure:

If the power supplyof thedehumidifier isinterrupted duringthe operation of theremote humidistat,then, oncethe powersupply is
renewed, the dehumidifier will automatically return to the latest setting. This recovery will occur within 15 minutes after the power
supply return.

Under the insidecover ofthe unit,there is a two-position fan mode switch. In the first position, the fan runs even ifthe compressor
of the appliance has stopped continuous operation of the fan. In the second position, the fan only runs simultaneously with the
compressor periodical duty of the fan. The continuous operation mode of the fan is preferable, since the humidity reader built in
the device continuously readshumidity,and therefore agreater accuracy is reached.At the sametime, continuousoperation of the
fan results in better air circulation in the room. The installationwork supplier selects themode of the fan according to therequest of
the user.

3.3. Control of the fan

Switch of the fan operation

Start-up of the compressor is, due to its protection, delayed by 3 minutes. Depending on the humidity of the environment, it may
take even longer for compressor to start operating. Once the compressor stops operating, the operation is renewed automatically,
at the earliestafter three minutes. The user must nothandle the setting element of thedelay-action relay.

3.4. Control of the compressor

It is necessary to make sure that the suction inlet and the exhaust outlet are not covered. It is forbidden to place towels or
clothing items onto the exhaust outlets to dry them. The unit's cover can be cleaned with standard cleaning agents using a
soft cloth or a sponge. If water dripping out of the unit, please check the condensed water drain and make sure the pipe is
not obstructed.

At least once a year, it is necessary to have the unit checked and cleaned by a service specialist. This is inevitable to secure a long
service life of the unit. We do notrecommend the user toclean the interior elements of the unit, as thismight cause a damage to the
unit. The unit contains mobile elements and live elements, thereforethe interior parts mayonly be cleaned by a certified electrician
trained to servicerefrigerating appliances.

The unit must be installed in compliance with the local installation and electrical installation regulations !

6.1. Location of the unit

To ensure maximum efficiency, it is necessary to install the unit as high above the ground as possible. It is forbidden to install the
unit onto the ground. It is essential to ensure good air circulation by allowing at least 150 mm of free space under the unit and at
least 200 mm offree space above theunit. For the purposesof maintenance,it is further necessaryto allowat least200 mmof free
space on bothsides of the unit.
