Safety

Intended use and conditions of use
The dehumidifier is used to remove humidity from air where there is atmospheric pressure in closed indoor rooms, such as basements, garages or warehouses.
The dehumidifier must only be used and stored in rooms larger than 4 m2.
The dehumidifier must only be used in compliance with the technical data (see last page).

Persons with physical, sensory or mental restrictions and children are not permitted to use the dehumidifier.
Every user must have read and understood the operating instructions.

Foreseeable misuse
The dehumidifier must not be used:

• In rooms with potentially explosive atmospheres.
• In rooms with an aggressive atmosphere (e.g. caused by chemicals).
• In rooms with water with a pH value below 7.0 or above 7.4.
• In rooms with salt or liquids with a salt content > 1 %, e.g. brine baths.
• In wet areas of indoor swimming pools.
• In rooms with ozone-treated air, high solvent concentrations or high dust pollution.

General safety information

WARNING! Risk of explosion, burns and poisoning from refrigerants!
The appliance contains an odourless, flammable refrigerant which, if handled incorrectly, could result in explosions and fire as well as injuries and burns. The refrigerant circuit is pressurised.

• Do not use any objects to accelerate the thawing process.

• Do not store the dehumidifier in rooms with permanent sources of ignition, such as open flames, operational gas appliances or electric heaters.

• Do not drill open or ignite dehumidifiers.

• Only operate the appliance in an adequately ventilated room larger than 4 m2.

• Any work to the refrigerant circuit must be performed by the manu-facturer or the manufacturer’s authorised technical personnel. Before working on the refrigerant circuit, it must be depressurised using the designated mechanisms.

• Observe the national regulations for gas installations.

• Do not dump refrigerants or dispose of them as household waste.

• Avoid coming into contact with the refrigerant.
  WARNING! Electrocution!
  Working on live components or water on live components can cause life- threatening electrocution.

• Avoid contact between water and live components.

• Always switch off and unplug the dehumidifier and drain away any water before moving it to another location.

• Only allow the manufacturer or authorised personnel to carry out work on electric components.

Unpacking

Procedure

• Check that the package contents are complete. Contact your stockist in the event of damage or missing contents.
• Remove the packaging and dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.

Fitting the transport handle
The transport handle can be fitted horizontally or vertically as required.

Procedure

1. Undo and remove the four screws on the transport handle (1).
2. Undo and remove the four screws on the housing (2).
3. Align the transport handle either horizontally or vertically.
4. Secure the transport handle to the housing at the required position using four screws.
5. Screw the other four screws into the free holes in the housing.

Transport and connection

Transport

WARNING! Crushing as a result of instability!

• Transport the dehumidifier in an upright position and secure it so that it cannot tip over or slip.
• Position the dehumidifier on a stable, even surface.

WARNING! Reaching into the grille of the air intake area can result in crushing or cutting!

• Use the handles to transport the dehumidifier.
• Do not reach into the air intake area.

CAUTION! Crushing or ergonomic damage when transporting the dehumidifier!

• Use the handles to transport the dehumidifier.
• The dehumidifier must be trans-ported by two people.

Procedure

1. Make sure that the condensate water is drained away.
2. Make sure that the appliance is switched off and the mains cable has been disconnected.
3. Transport the dehumidifier to where it is going to be used.
   NOTE: The air must circulate freely. Do not cover the air openings. There must be a clearance of at least 1 m in front of the air outlet and air intake area.

Connecting the discharge hose
It is essential to connect the drain hose provided.
ATTENTION! Inadequate appliance output!

• Do not place the end of the hose in the water (backwater possible).
• Do not bend the discharge hose.
• Do not place any objects on the hose.

Procedure

• Attach the drain hose to the Water outlet on the front of the appliance.
• Make sure that the end of the hose is lower than the start of the hose at the Water outlet. Minimum slope of 5% (5 cm/metre).
• Run the discharge hose away from the dehumidifier to a drain or into a suitable container (recommended container volume = 90 litres).

Electrical connection

Procedure

1. Make sure that the supply voltage is the same as the connection voltage in the technical data.
2. Provide an adequate fuse for the socket and the power supply.
3. Install an earth leakage circuit breaker in damp rooms and building sites.
4. Make sure that the mains plug is suitable for the socket of the building.
5. Make sure that the socket used is earthed.
6. Plug the mains plug into the socket.

Operation

Dehumidifying the room
NOTE: Allow the dehumidifier to rest in its final position for approx. 15 minutes before starting up, after transport and after prolonged storage.

Procedure

1. WARNING! Electrocution and risk of injury!
   If the drain hose is not correctly connected, water in or in front of the housing can cause electric shock or present a slip hazard.
   Make sure that the condensate wa-ter can drain away via the drain hose and that the drain hose is se-curely positioned on the water out-let.

2. Set the on/off switch to “I”.
   The dehumidifier will start operating. The dehumidifier will run in continuous mode.

Switching off

Procedure

1. Set the on/off switch to “0”.
