■ Do not permanently install the appliance. Position the ap-
pliance so that its side panels have a clearance of at least
20cm from walls or other objects and ensure a clearance
of at least 50 cm from the front, rear and top panels of the
appliance in order to ensure good air circulation. Take care
not to obstruct the air inlet and outlet opening.
■ The appliance may only be operated in rooms with an ambi-
ent temperature of 5°C to 32°C.
■ Use the appliance only in rooms up to 16 m².
■ The appliance must be installed, operated and stored in a
room with a floor area greater than 4 m2.
■ If the appliance is operated in unventilated areas, these
must be designed in such a way that the refrigerant cannot
accumulate anywhere in the event of refrigerant leakage.
Otherwise, a combustible mixture may be formed.
■ The appliance may only be stored in rooms without perma-
nent sources of ignition (e.g. open flames, a switched-on gas
appliance or an electric heater).
■ The appliance must be stored in a way that does not dam-
age it.
■ 8 │ GB
■ Clean the air filter before it gets too badly contaminated.
■ While draining via a hose, ensure that it does not become
blocked and that the open end of the hose is positioned at a
lower level than the outlet aperture. The end of the hose must
be positioned above a drain.
■ Operate the appliance only together with the water tank or
with the hose installed.

CY
SLE 200 A1
■ Connect the safety plug only to a properly installed, easily
accessible plug socket with protected contacts, the voltage
of which corresponds to the specifications on the rating
plate. The plug socket must remain easily accessible even
after connection.
■ Before cleaning, always disconnect the mains plug from the
mains power socket.
■ Always transport, operate and store the appliance upright!

Before initial use
♦ Place the appliance on a flat, dry and solid surface.
♦ Leave the appliance in the operating position for approx. 30 minutes to
allow the refrigerant to settle.
♦ Check that the water tank 6 is correctly inserted.
♦ Insert the plug into a mains power socket. You will hear a beep.
Electrical connection
ATTENTION
► Before connecting the appliance, compare the specifications for the
required input voltage on the rating plate with the intended voltage source
for operation. This data must match to prevent damage to the appliance.
► The power cable must always be easily accessible, so that the appliance
can be quickly removed from the mains in the event of an emergency.
► Make sure that the power cable is not damaged and is not routed over any
hot surfaces and/or sharp edges; otherwise it will become damaged.
► Ensure that the power cable is not taut or kinked.
Guidelines for operation
■ If the air in your living spaces is constantly excessively humid, the cause should
be identified and addressed. Sustained – year-round – dehumidifying is
generally not a good idea.
■ The optimal ambient temperature for dehumidifying the air is 5°C to 32°C.
Using a dehumidifier at temperatures below 5°C is redundant, as there is little
humidity in the air.
■ During operation, the room temperature may increase by 1°C to 4°C, depending
on the size of the room. This is normal.
Automatic defrosting
To ensure that the appliance does not ice up during sustained operation, it defrosts
automatically. The defrosting function is activated automatically and cannot
be switched on manually. Do not switch off the appliance during automatic
defrosting and do not disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. During
defrosting, appears on the displayw. Dehumidification is briefly paused,
but the fan continues to run. The duration of the defrosting process may vary. The
lower the ambient temperature, the earlier or more often the automatic defrosting
is activated. Once the defrosting process is complete, the appliance resumes
operation in the previously selected settings.

Permanent drainage
You can use the supplied drainage hoseu or the EU garden hose adapteri
to set up permanent drainage.
ATTENTION
► When setting up permanent drainage, make sure that the hose is not kinked
and that it runs downwards along its entire length. Otherwise, the water
may flow back into the appliance and damage it.
► Check the entire connection system regularly for leaks.
♦ Switch off the appliance and pull the stopper9 out of the outlet opening8.
♦ Connect either the supplied drainage hoseu or the EU garden hose
adapteri to the outlet opening8 (see figures2+3).
♦ If you are using the EU garden hose adapteri, screw a garden hose onto
the EU garden hose adapteri (see figure 3).

Do not use a wrench as it could damage the EU garden hose adapteri.
NOTE
► Depending on the garden hose system you use, you may need an additional
adapter. These are available from specialist stores.
♦ Set up the appliance so that the end of the hose is positioned over a drain.
The open end of the hose must lie below the outlet opening8 of the appliance (i.e. the hose must have a downwards gradient).

Cleaning
ATTENTION
Possible damage to the appliance.
► Do not allow any liquids or moisture to get into the appliance.
► Always remove the mains plug from the mains power socket before cleaning
the appliance.
► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, as they may corrode
the surface of the casing.
♦ If necessary, wipe the housing with a slightly damp cloth.
♦ Clean the ventilation openings regularly with a suitable soft brush to remove
dust and dirt.
♦ Remove the water tank6, pour out the water and dry it well inside and
outside before placing it back in the appliance.
♦ We recommend cleaning the water tank6 every two weeks to prevent
mould and bacteria. Fill the water tank6 with lukewarm water and add
some washing-up liquid. Rinse several times with lukewarm water. We also
recommend disinfection following cleaning.
To do this, use any standard commercial, alcohol-based disinfecting agent
or high-proof alcohol. Both substances are completely harmless if followed
by repeated rinsing with lukewarm water.

Clean air filter
The performance of the appliance also depends on how clean the air filter5 is.
The air filter5 should be cleaned every 2 weeks.
♦ Carefully pull the water tank6 out of the appliance using the grips on the
side.
♦ Guide the plastic frame4 with the air filter 5 inserted past the retaining
tabs of the housing and pull it downwards out of the appliance (see figure 4).
