Information about the device

Device description

The device serves the purpose of cooling the room air. It further filters and dehumidifies the air thus creating an agreeable room climate.

The unit cools the room air by withdrawing warmth. The absorbed warmth is emitted to the outside via the exhaust air hose; cooled air is fed to the installation site by means of a fan.

Accumulating condensate drips from the evaporator onto the hot condenser, there it evaporates and then is transported to the outside via the exhaust air hose.

In ventilation mode the device provides the opportunity of air circulation without cooling effect.

In dehumidification mode moisture is withdrawn from the air.

The device operates fully automatically and features a variety of further options. The device can, for instance, be switched on or off automatically with time delay via the timer function.

Operation of the device is possible either via the control panel at the device or via the supplied infrared remote control.

The device was designed for universal and flexible application.

Due to its compact dimensions it can be easily transported and used in all interior spaces.

Behaviour in the event of an emergency

1. Switch the device off.

2. In an emergency, disconnect the device from the mains feed-in: Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.

3. Do not reconnect a defective device to the mains.
