SPECIAL NOTICE FOR APPLIANCES USING R290 REFRIGERANT
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS CAN CAUSE BURNS, DEATH, INJURY OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

Read this notice carefully.
This appliance is only designed for use with R290 as the specified refrigerant.
WARNING: Do not use any means to speed up the defrosting process or cleaning other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
The appliance must be stored in a room where ignition sources are not permanently in operation (e.g. open flame, gas appliance in operation, electric heating system in operation).
Do not puncture or incinerate the appliance.
Be aware that refrigerants do not have to be smelled.
The appliance must be installed, operated and stored in a room with a floor area of more than 4 m2.
The appliance must be installed in accordance with national installation regulations.
The refrigerant is located in a closed circuit. Only a qualified technician may service!
Do not release refrigerant into the atmosphere.
Refrigerant R290 is flammable and heavier than air. It usually collects close to the ground, but fans can suck it in and put it into circulation.
If refrigerant is released or suspected leaked, untrained personnel must not be allowed to try to find the cause.
The refrigerant used in the appliance is odorless.
The fact that the refrigerant is odorless does not mean that there could be no leakage.
If a leak occurs, immediately evacuate all persons from the room, ensure adequate ventilation and inform the local fire department of the location of the propane gas leak.
Do not allow anyone to re‑enter the room until a qualified service technician has confirmed it to be safe.
Open flame, cigarettes, or other potential igniters must not be used around the appliance.
The components are designed for refrigerant and are non‑flammable and non‑igniting. Components must always be replaced with identical original spare parts.

Service instructions

Warning:
Any person involved in or participating in work on the refrigeration circuit should have a valid certificate from an industry‑accredited assessment body that officially approves his/her competence to safely handle refriger-ants to an industry‑recognized specification.

Warning:
Service must only be performed as recommended by the manufacturer. Maintenance and repairs require the assistance of additional professional personnel competent to use flammable refrigerant.

If you do not understand some parts or need help, contact the manufacturer’s service department.
When servicing this appliance, observe these safety instructions for working with R290 refrigerant.

Workspace control
Prior to working on a system containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are nec-essary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. The following precautions must be observed before repairing the cooling system.

Work procedure
The work must be carried out in a controlled manner so as to minimize the risk of flammable gases or vapors leaking.

Total workspace
The entire maintenance crew and others working on site must be instructed about the nature of the work performed. Work in confined spaces must be avoided. The space around the workplace must be divided into sections. Safe indoor conditions must be ensured by inspecting flammable materials.

Checking the presence of refrigerant
The room must be inspected with an appropriate refrigerant detector before and during work to ensure that technicians are aware of the potentially flammable atmos-phere. It must be ensured that the use of leak detection equipment is suitable for use on flammable refrigerants, that is, non‑sparking, appropriately sealed or inherently safe.

Presence of fire extinguisher
If any work is to be carried out on the refrigeration equipment or associated parts in warm area, a suitable fire extinguishing system must be available. The fire extinguisher must be powder or CO2 in the vicinity of the filling area.

No sources of ignition
No person performing work on the refrigeration system that involves exposing any piping that contains or has contained flammable refrigerant shall use any sources of ignition in a way that could lead to a risk of fire or explosion. The site of installation, repair, removal, or disposal works during which flammable refrigerant may leak or be let out should be kept clear of all potential ignition sources, including lit cigarettes. The area around the appliance must be inspected prior to commencement of works to ensure it is free of fire and ignition hazards. “No smoking” signs must be posted.

Ventilated space
It must be ensured that the room is open or adequately ventilated before the system is disrupted or work in warm environment is carried out. The ventilation intensity must last for the duration of the work. Ventilation should safely disperse any discharged refrigerant and preferably vent it to the atmosphere.

Inspection of cooling equipment
If electrical components are changed, these components must be suitable for this purpose and meet the correct specifications. The manufacturer’s maintenance and service instructions must always be followed. If in doubt, contact the manufactur-er’s technical department for assistance.
The following checks must be carried out on installations containing flammable refrig-erants:

The volume of the fill is in accordance with the size of the room in which the parts containing the refrigerant are installed;
Ventilation units and outlets are working at full capacity and are not blocked;
If an indirect refrigeration circuit is used, the second circuit must be checked for the presence of refrigerant;
The various markings on the appliance must at all times remain legible; illegible ones must be repaired;
Refrigeration pipes or components are installed in locations where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substances that may corrode refrigerant‑containing components unless the components are constructed of materials that are intrinsically corrosion‑resistant or are adequately protected against corrosion.

Inspection of electrical components
Repairs and maintenance of electrical components must include safety checks and inspections of the components. If a malfunction occurs that could compromise safety, then no power supply must be connected to the circuit until the fault has been satis-factorily resolved. If the malfunction cannot be repaired immediately, it has to contin-ue working; an appropriate temporary solution must be used. The appliance owner must be informed of this state of affairs.
Initial safety checks must ensure:

That the capacitors are discharged: this must be done in a safe way to avoid the possibility of sparking;
That no electrical components and wiring is exposed when filling, restoring and cleaning the system;
That grounding is not interrupted.

Repairs of sealed components

During the repair of sealed components, all electrical supply must be disconnect- ed from the equipment being worked on before the sealed covers are removed, etc. If the equipment absolutely must be powered during servicing, then a contin-uously operating leak detector must be placed in the most critical location to alert staff of a potentially dangerous situation.

Special care must be taken to ensure that work on electrical components does not alter the cover to such an extent as to affect the level of protection. Cable damage, extra connections and terminals outside the original specification,
seal damage and improper sealing, etc. should be included in this assess-ment. Ensure the appliance is installed safely. It must be ensured that the seals or sealing materials are not degraded in such a way that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the entering of flammable materials. Spare parts must comply with the manufacturer’s specification. The use of a silicone seal may suppress the effectiveness of some types of leak detection devices. Internally safe components do not have to be disconnected before they can be worked on.

Repairs of internal safe components

No permanent inductive or capacitive loads shall be applied to the circuit without ensuring that the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment used are not exceeded.
Internally safe components are the only types that can be worked on in a flammable environment, even if they are live. The test equipment must be correctly dimensioned. Parts are replaced only by parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may ignite the refrigerant if it leaks into the environment.

Wiring

Check that the wiring is not exposed to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or any other adverse environmental effects. The inspection must also take into account the effects of aging or permanent vibrations from sources such as compressors or fans.
5. Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances may potential sources of ignition be used to search for or detect refrigerant leaks. The halogen burner (or any other detector using open flame) must not be used.

Leak detection methods

The following leak detection methods are considered acceptable for systems contain-ing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors must be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but their sen-sitivity may not be adequate or may require recalibration. (The detection device must be calibrated in a refrigerant‑free space). It must be ensured that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used. The leak detec-tion device must be set to the percentage of LFL refrigerant and must be calibrated to the refrigerant used and the appropriate gas percentage (maximum 25%) confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants, but the use of chlo-rine‑containing detergents must be avoided because chlorine can react with the refrigerant and corrode copper piping.
If a leak is suspected, all open fires must be eliminated / extinguished.
If a refrigerant leak is found, which requires brazing; all refrigerant must be removed from the system or separated (by closing the valves) in the part of the system remote from the leak. The system must then be purged with oxygen‑free nitrogen (OFN), both before and after the brazing process.

Removal and pumping

Conventional procedures must be used if the cooling circuit is disturbed due to repairs ‑ or for any other reason. However, it is important to keep to the best method due to flammability. The following procedure must be followed:

remove the refrigerant;
purge the circuit with inert gas;
pump away;
purge again with inert gas;
open the circuit by cutting or brazing.

The circuit filling must be taken to the correct collection cylinders. The system must be “flooded” with OFN (oxygen‑free nitrogen) to make the unit safe. The procedure may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen must not be used for this task.
Flushing may be done by breaking the system’s vacuum seal and filling with OFN until operating pressure is reached, then venting to atmosphere, then restoring vacuum. This process must be repeated while the refrigerant is in the system. After the last OFN cycle, vent the system to atmosphere so that work may be done. This is absolutely necessary when the piping is to be brazed.
It must be ensured that the outlets are not close to any source of ignition and that ventilation is provided.

Filling procedure

In addition to conventional filling procedures, the following requirements must be met.

Care must be taken to ensure that using the filling equipment does not contaminate the various refrigerants. Hoses or piping must be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
The cylinders must be held vertically.
It must be ensured that the cooling system is grounded before filling the system with refrigerant.
When filling is complete, the system must be appropriately labeled (if it is not already).
Extreme care must be taken to ensure that the cooling system is not overfilled. Before refilling the system, it must be pressure‑tested with OFN. The system must be tested for leaks after filling but before starting operation. A verification test must be carried out before leaving the installation site.

Taking out of operation

Before performing this procedure, it is essential that the technician is fully acquainted with the equipment and all its details. Good practice is recommended to remove all refrigerant safely. Oil and refrigerant samples must be taken before this operation begins, if analysis is required before the regenerated refrigerant can be used again. It is essential that electricity is available before starting this activity.

Introduction to the device and its operation.
Electrical disconnection of the system.
Before initiating the procedure, it must be ensured that:
- mechanical equipment for handling the refrigerant cylinders was available if required;
- all personal protective equipment was available and used correctly;
- the removal procedure was constantly under the supervision of a competent person;
- collection devices and cylinders complied with the relevant standards.
Drain the cooling system if possible.
If it is not possible to achieve a vacuum, a manifold is made so that the refrigerant can be taken from different parts of the system.
It must be ensured that the cylinder is placed on the scale before the collection takes place.
The collection device is switched on and the manufacturer’s instructions are used.
Do not overfill the cylinders. (Not more than 80% of the liquid content).
The maximum operating pressure of the cylinder is not exceeded, even temporarily.
When the cylinders are properly filled and the process is completed, it is ensured that the cylinders and equipment are immediately removed from the installation site and all separation valves on the equipment are closed.
The removed refrigerant must not be filled into another cooling system until it has been cleaned and inspected.

Labelling

The appliance must get a label stating that it has been taken out of service and does not contain refrigerant. The label must be dated and signed. It shall be ensured that the equipment has labels indicating that the equipment contains a flammable refrig-erant.

Removal

When refrigerant is removed from the system, either for service or decommissioning, good practice recommends removing all refrigerants safely.
When transferring refrigerant to the cylinders, make sure that only the appropriate refrigerant removal cylinders are used. It must be ensured that the correct number of cylinders is available to contain the total fill of the system. Only cylinders designed to hold the refrigerant used by the appliance and so labeled (i.e., special refrigerant col-lection cylinders) may be used. The cylinders must be complete with a safety valve and holding shutoff valves in good working order. Empty collection cylinders are drained and if possible cooled before collecting.
The drainage equipment must be in good working order and suitable for flammable refrigerants, and its manual should be to hand. In addition, a set of calibrated scales must be available in good working order. The hoses must be complete with detach-able couplings without leakage and in good condition. Before using the collecting device, it must be checked that it is in a satisfactory operating condition, has been properly maintained and that all associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of refrigerant discharge. In case of doubt, consult the manufacturer.
The drained refrigerant must be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct collecting cylinder and with the relevant agreed waste shipment letter. Refrigerants do not mix in the collection units and especially not in the cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been pumped to an acceptable level to ensure that flammable refrigerant does not remain in the lubricant. The pumping out procedure must be performed before the com-pressor is returned to the supplier. Only electric compressor housing heating may be used to speed up this process. When oil is drained from the system, it must be safely disposed of.

Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft sponge slightly moistened with warm water.

Location
Place the dehumidifier on a firm, stable, level surface, with at least 30 cm (12 in) clearance on all sides.
Avoid exposing the appliance to:

heat sources, such as radiators, hot‑air vents, stoves, etc.
dripping or splashing water or other liquids;
direct sunlight;
mechanical vibration or tremors;
excessive dust;
inadequate air circulation, e.g. due to built‑in installation.

The appliance should be installed, operated, and stored in a room of at least 4 m2 (43 sq ft).
Ensure the mains outlet remains easily accessible, to allow for quick unplugging in case of emergency.

Warning:
Do not store or operate the appliance where chemicals, volatiles, or explo- sives are stored, or near open flame.

Assembly

Before first use, install the carbon filter, which is placed separately in the shipping package in protective foil. To avoid damage, do not use the appliance if the carbon filter or its cover grille have not been installed.

Check that the appliance is powered down and unplugged.
Carefully release and remove the grille.
Unpack the carbon filter from its foil wrap and mount it on the appliance.
Replace the grille and check it sits well in place.

Power On / Off
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded mains outlet.
The appliance will enter standby mode.
Short‑press POWER to power on. The Power indicator light will come on and the appli-ance will power up with these default settings:

default fan speed: high;
default target humidity: 60 %.

To power down, short‑press POWER. Indicator lights, display, and compressor will power off immediately; the fan will power off after about 10 seconds. The appliance will enter standby mode.
When powered on again, the appliance will retain the most recently used settings. To power down completely, unplug the appliance.

Note:
Do not power the appliance back on immediately after it has been pow-ered off. Wait at least 3 minutes before powering back on. Even when the appliance is reactivated sooner, the compressor will still wait for about 3 minutes since the last power‑down before powering back on.
When the operating mode is changed, the compressor will cut out for about 3 minutes, then power back on.
This is normal behavior, caused by the compressor’s protection circuits.

Operating Mode Selection
Repeatedly press MODE to select operating mode: automatic – continuous

Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, dehumidification cuts in and out as needed to maintain the set target humidity level given the set fan speed. When automatic mode is selected, the Auto indicator will flash for 3 seconds, then automatic mode starts.
Press HUM to set target humidity and FAN to set fan speed. The available humidity and fan speed settings are listed further down in this manual.
When ambient humidity exceeds the set target by at least 3%, the fan will start imme-diately, and the compressor about 3 seconds later.
When ambient humidity drops at least 3% below the set target, the compressor will stop immediately, and the fan about 30 seconds later.
If the Auto indicator keeps flashing, the humidity target exceeds the current ambient humidity reading. In this case, the compressor will remain offline and no dehumidifi-cation will take place.

Continuous Mode
In this mode, the appliance is continuously on regardless of the ambient humidity level. Target humidity and fan speed settings are not available. The indicator is lit.

Sleep mode
This mode is suitable for nighttime use – control panel lights are off and the appliance runs more quietly. Target humidity and fan speed settings are not available.
Press SLEEP; the indicator will come on. The appliance will enter standby mode. If no buttons are pressed for 10 seconds after Night Mode has been set, the display and indicator lights will dim to zero and the fan will switch to low speed. Press any button (except SLEEP) to reactivate the control panel. Pressing SLEEP also cancels Night Mode.

Fan Speed Setting
Repeatedly press FAN to set fan speed high. The corresponding indicator light will come on.

Humidity settings
Press HUM once to display the built‑in sensor’s current ambient humidity reading. Press HUM again to set a humidity target. The available range is 20 – 95 %, with 5% steps.
Wait 3 seconds for the setting to be saved. The display will then show current ambient humidity.
Target humidity cannot be set in continuous dehumidification mode.

Repeatedly press TIMER to set the time until the appliance shuts down and goes to standby. The available timer range is 1 to 12 hours. Each press of TIMER adds 1 hour to the current setting. The display will show the currently set timer duration.
Wait for the value to stop flashing, at which point it is stored in memory. The countdown will automatically begin.
Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance will automatically switch to standby mode.

Power Up Timer

When the appliance is running, press TIMER. The timer indicator light will come on and the display will show “00”.
Repeatedly press TIMER to set the time until the appliance powers on. The available timer range is 1 to 12 hours. Each press of TIMER adds 1 hour to the current setting. The display will show the currently set timer duration.
Wait for the value to stop flashing, at which point it is stored in memory. The countdown will automatically begin.
Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance will power up automatically.
To cancel either timer, press TIMER and set the value to “00”. The timer indicator will turn off and the countdown will be cancelled.

Child lock
The Child Lock feature locks down the control panel to prevent accidental change of the appliance’s settings.
Activate Child Lock by long‑pressing LOCK. The Child Lock indicator will come on and all buttons will become inactive.
Long‑press LOCK again to deactivate Child Lock. The Child Lock indicator will turn off.

Draining Condensate
The water condensate produced by the appliance may be drained either manually (by regularly emptying the condensation pan) or continuously (by drainage hose).

Manual Drainage
Condensate produced by the appliance collects in a built‑in pan, which is equipped with a float. Once the float, therefore the water level, reaches a particular height in the pan, the appliance will stop dehumidifying and sound a chime. Proceed as follows:

Press POWER to power down, then unplug the appliance.
If needed, carefully move the appliance to a spot suitable for emptying the pan, e.g. into a bathroom.
Carefully remove the pan at the rear of the appliance – see Figure A1.
Empty the pan. Wipe the pan interior with a clean sponge and the exterior with a dry cloth.
Replace the pan in the appliance, plug the appliance back in, and power it on. Ideally use both hands when replacing the pan in the appliance. If the pan is improperly inserted, the appliance will not power on.

Warning:
To avoid damage to the appliance or a potentially dangerous situation, do not attempt to use the appliance while the pan is full.

Continuous Drainage
For continuous condensate drainage, the drainage hose must be connected to the drainage port. We recommend setting up for continuous drainage when the appliance is to be used in continuous dehumidification mode.

Check that the appliance is powered down and unplugged.
Site the appliance in a spot where continuous drainage can be implemented.
Remove the condensation pan – see Figure A1.
Remove the drainage port cap and attach the drainage hose – see Figure A2. Lay the hose out straight and check it is not bent, broken, or set against furniture edges or other sharp objects. Route the hose so as to avoid tripping on it. Replace the condensation pan in the appliance.
Insert the far end of the hose into a drain or bucket. Condensate must be able to flow freely out of the appliance. To ensure this, the far end of the hose should be lower to the ground than the drainage port on the appliance.

Warning:
Do not immerse the far end of the hose in water. Do not attempt to attach extenders to the hose. If the supplied hose is too short, purchase a longer hose of otherwise the same specification.

Automatic De-Icing
When the appliance’s built‑in temperature sensor detects low ambient temperature (5–18 °C / 41–65 °F), automatic de‑icing will turn on to prevent ice buildup on the running compressor. When automatic de‑icing is on, the power indicator light will flash red. The compressor will stop for de‑icing, while the fan will remain in operation. Once de‑icing completes, the compressor will restart.
This behavior is normal.

Efficiency and Effectiveness Advice

Only use the appliance when ambient temperature is in the range 5–35 °C (41– 95 °F).
Only use the appliance indoors. It is not designed for outdoor use.
Leave adequate clearance between the appliance and walls, curtains, furniture and other objects that might block or plug its vents or intakes.
Do not cover the vents or intakes.
Regularly check the appliance for signs of damage.
Keep doors and windows closed while the appliance is in operation.
Regularly empty the condensation pan.
Before powering on, check that the condensation pan is properly inserted.
Keep the appliance clean. Regularly clean the carbon filter and its grille.
We recommend keeping the appliance upright for at least 24 hours before powering on after it had been tilted to more than 45°, to allow the refrigerant to settle in its circuit.
On hot days, the exhaust vent may get warm, particularly during longer periods of operation. This is a normal occurrence.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any cleaning or maintenance work, always power the appliance off, unplug it from the mains and let it cool down completely.

Warning:
Never immerse the appliance, the power cord or the plug in water or other liquids.

Do not use plastic or metal scrapers, harsh cleaners, chemicals, petrol, solvents or other similar substances to clean any parts of the appliance. The surface finish could be seriously damaged.

Cleaning the Frame
Wipe the outer surface with a soft, slightly wet cloth. Wipe with dry dish towel.

Cleaning the Carbon Filter and Grille
During use, dust and dirt accumulate on the filter and grille. These may reduce the airflow, impairing the appliance’s operation. The filter and grille need to be cleaned regularly, as blockage of the air intake could irreversibly damage the appliance.

Carefully release and remove the grille – see Figure B.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment at low power to clean dust from the filter and grille.
If the filter is heavily fouled, wash it in water with mild detergent. Wipe dry thoroughly, then let dry in air. Do not dry the filter in direct sunlight, with a hair or clothes drier or in an oven.
Wipe the grille with a soft, damp sponge, then wipe dry with a clean towel.
Once dry, replace the filter in the appliance.
Replace the grille and check it sits well in place.

Warning:
To avoid damage, only use the appliance when the filter and grille are properly installed.

Carbon Filter Replacement

The carbon filter must be replaced when it wears out, sustains damage, or other-wise becomes unusable. Contact your vendor or an authorized service center about procuring a replacement. The procedure for replacing the filter is the same as the first assembly procedure described above in this manual, except the old filter needs to be removed first.

Storage

Before prolonged disuse (weeks or longer), the appliance should be thoroughly cleaned and dried off.

Press POWER to power down, then unplug the appliance.
Empty the condensation pan. Wipe the interior clean, then dry off with a clean towel.
Clean the filter and its grille. Let dry in air, out of direct sunlight. Then replace filter and grille in the appliance.
The built‑in evaporator needs to dry out completely. Put the appliance in a well‑ ventilated, dry place, and let it stand there for up to several days. You may also activate it with the target humidity set 5% above the current ambient humidity reading. This will activate the fan but not the compressor, helping the evaporator dry out faster.
The power cord may be stored in the condensation pan for convenience.
Store the appliance in a dry, well ventilated place. Only store the appliance in the upright position.
Do not store the appliance where chemicals, volatiles or explosives are stored or used, near open flame or other heat sources, in direct sunlight, etc.
Do not put anything on top of the appliance.

Warning:
The built‑in evaporator needs to dry out completely before the appliance is stored or boxed, to prevent dust and dirt buildup inside. Failing to dry out the evaporator may lead to damage, or mold and rot may develop inside.
