2. Installation

Before the installation and use of the appliance, carefully read the supplied instructions. The manufacturer
is not responsible if an incorrect installation and use causes injuries and damages. Always keep the
instructions with the appliance for future reference.

WARNING!

Flammable material. This appliance contains R290/Propane a flammable refrigerant.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
The appliance shall not be stored in a room with continously operating ignition sources (for example;
open flames, an operating gas appliance or an operation electric heater). Do not pierce or burn.
Be aware that refrigerants may not contain an odour.
Do not use water spray and steam to clean the appliance. Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth. Only
use neutral detergents. Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents or metal objects.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, Munters Service or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

CAUTION!

Only a qualified person must install this appliance. Remove all the packaging. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.

The appliance shall be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area larger than 4m². Obey the
installation instruction supplied with the appliance.
Always be careful when you move the appliance because it is heavy. Always wear safety gloves.
Make sure the air can circulate around the appliance.
Wait at least 4 hours before connecting the appliance to the power supply. This is to allow the oil to flow
back in the compressor. Do not install the appliance close to radiators or other heat sources. Do not
install the appliance where there is direct sunlight.

2.1 Electrical connection

WARNING!

Risk of fire and electrical shock. The appliance must be connected to a grounded outlet.

Make sure that the electrical information on the rating plate agrees with the power supply. If not, contact
an electrician.
Always use a correctly installed shockproof socket and make sure that the power supply is sufficiently
fused. Do not use multi-plug adapters and extension cables.
Make sure not to cause damage to the electrical components (e.g. mains plug, mains cable).
Contact the Munters Service or an electrician to change the electrical components.
The mains cable must stay below the level of the mains plug. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket
only at the end of the installation. Make sure that there is access to the mains plug after the installation.
Do not pull the mains cable to disconnect the appliance. Always pull at the mains plug.

Operation Manual MK200 5

2.2 Operation

WARNING!

Risk of injury, burns, electrical shock or fire. Do not change the specification of this appliance.

Be careful not to cause damage to the refrigerant circuit. It contains propane (R290), a natural gas with a
high level of environmental compatibility. This gas is flammable.
If damage occurs to the refrigerant circuit, make sure that there are no flames and sources of ignition in
the room. Ventilate the room. Do not put flammable products or items that are wet with flammable
products near or on the appliance.

2.3 Disposal

WARNING!

Risk of injury. Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply. Cut off the mains cable and discard it.

The refrigerant circuit of this appliance is ozone-friendly. Contact your municipal authority for
information on how to discard the appliance correctly.
Do not cause damage to the part of the cooling unit that is near the heat exchanger.

3. Placement of dehumidifier

MK200 dehumidifiers are easy to move around, all you need to have is a power source for 220/240V, but
bear in mind the following:

- The dehumidifier should not be placed near radiators or other heat sources or exposed to direct
sunlight, as it will reduce performance.

- It is beneficial to use a radiator or heating fan to keep the temperature above +2˚C.

- The dehumidifier should stand at least 25cm from a wall or other obstruction, for maximum air flow.

- Ideal is to put it in the center of the room / area.

3.1 Operation of dehumidifier

If the dehumidifier is transported horizontally, oil may have run out of the compressor and into the closed
piping system. In such a case, let the dehumidifier stand for a few hours before being used. It is very
important that the oil runs back into the compressor, otherwise the dehumidifier may be seriously
damaged.

1. Check that the water reservoir is correctly placed and the float moves freely in the reservoir.

2. Connect the dehumidifier to a grounded power source.

3. Select fan speed.

4. Set the desired humidity level by means of the humidity control. See the section on the humidity

control.
