WARNING:
To avoid danger of electric shock, unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its Service Agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. In order to avoid overheating, do not cover the
appliance. Do not use the appliance in the immediate surrounding of a bath, shower or
swimming pool. Do not run this appliance in ambient temperatures below 5⁰C, as a build-up of
ice can damage the evaporating coil.

This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity
by passing the air through the unit, forcing the excess
moisture to condensate over the cooling elements. Contact
with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to
condense. This condensed water then drains safely into the
water tank. The dried air then passes through the
condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the
room at a slightly elevated temperature.
WHERE TO POSITION THE APPLIANCE
Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells waft to every room in the
house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned, so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all
over the home.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier close to this
area and later moving it to a more central point.
When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that there is a minimum of 10 cm
of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow.
This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it should first be switched off and the
water tank emptied.
We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the unit is sufficiently close to a
fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use an extension lead, please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable
is at least 1 mm
When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed when necessary for most
efficient use.

PARTS LIST
CASTORS NOT INCLUDED
Active carbon filters can be purchased as accessories.
Your appliance comes fitted with a carbon filter as standard.
1. Plug the appliance into a correct mains socket.
2. Place the appliance in a good position for operation.
3. Press the Power button (13) and the compressor will begin to work (The Power indicator (12) will light up).
To turn the appliance off, press a second time.
4. Press the Humidity Setting button (1) to choose from continuously running, 40%, 50%, 60% or 70%
humidity. The option will be displayed on the Working Mode indicator (2). Note that the Ambient light on
the front of the appliance will light up depending on the ambient humidity:
a) Blue: Ambient humidity is above 70%.
b) Green: Ambient humidity is between 50% & 70%.
c) Red: Ambient humidity is below 50%.
d) Flashing Red: Water tank is full.
5. Press the Speed/Ventilation button (10) to set the desired ventilation speed (as indicated by the low & high
ventilation indicators (9 & 11)).
6. The timer function is turned off (continuous) by default, Timer Operation indicator (4) off. To start a timer
function, press the Timer button (15) repeatedly until the time (in hours) required is displayed on the
Humidity/Temperature display (3). The display will revert to the ambient humidity after 8 seconds. Once the
timer has finished, the compressor will turn off.
7. The appliance can also be set up to turn on after a predetermined length of time. Do not turn the appliance
on. Press the timer button until the desired time delay (in hours) is set. The appliance will start to run on the
default settings (continuously) after the time delay has finished. Note: always make sure that the appliance
has been set up correctly and that pets or children cannot access it before leaving it unattended.
8. To check the ambient temperature, press the Temperature Display button (5) at any time and the ambient
temperature will be shown on the Humidity/Temperature display (3) for 8 seconds.
9. The Dryer function is used in situations where the moisture in the air needs to be removed as fast as
possible, such as in a room where clothes are drying. Press the Dryer button (8) to turn the function on and
the Dryer indicator (7) will light up. The function will run continuously. To stop the function, press the button
once more (the indicator will turn off).
10. The Ioniser/Titanium dioxide button (16) is used to help clean the air. Running the Air Ioniser function
produces negatively charged ions which are released into the air, attracting airborne particles (including
bacteria) and removing it from the air. Titanium dioxide, when placed under a UV light, is a photocatalyst,
which gives it sterilising and deodorising properties. Press the button once to turn on both functions
(Ioniser/Titanium dioxide indicator (6) turns on). Press a second time to turn the functions off.
DRAINAGE
Whenever the water tank is full, or the water tank is not positioned correctly, the compressor will stop and the Water
Full indicator (14) will turn red.
To remove the water tank, pull the tank out squarely from the unit.
After emptying, replace the water tank. The tank must be properly positioned in order for the Water Full indicator
to turn off and for the appliance to start operating.
OMEGA ALTISE
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will require more frequent drainage.
In this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous drainage with the following procedures:
1. Pull out the water tank.
2. Connect a tube with an inner diameter of 11mm to the drain hole (inside the
unit at the top left corner).
3. Test that the water will drain through the tube freely, and that the tube will not
fall from the drain hole. If the weather conditions are too cold, take care that
the water inside the tube will not freeze (as this will damage the appliance & will
not be covered under warranty).
4. Place the water tank back into position. The tube should fit in the groove on top of the
tank.
5. Periodically check that the water is continuing to flow freely (at least every time the
appliance is turned on).
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE CORD BEFORE MOVING OR SERVICING, DO NOT
IMMERSE HEATER IN WATER!
CLEANING THE BODY
1. Use a soft cloth to wipe the unit clean.
2. Do not use volatile chemicals, petrol, detergents, chemically treated cloths or other cleaning solutions
as they could possibly damage the appliance.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTERS
1. Remove the filter holder and extract the washable
plastic filter.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner or tap the filter lightly for easy
cleaning.
3. If the filter is particularly dirty, use warm water with a
little detergent.
4. Make sure the filter is completely dry before
replacing onto the appliance.
5. Do not expose the filter to direct sunlight.
6. The active carbon filter cannot be cleaned. Check
periodically & replace if necessary.
STORAGE
If you do not use the appliance for an extended period of time, please turn the unit off, unplug and tidy the power
cord, completely empty the water tank and wipe clean. Cover the appliance and store where it will not be exposed
to direct sunlight.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF. DOING SO COULD
VOID THE WARRANTY AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
