Excessive atmospheric humidity makes a home uncomfortable, feel cold and can have adverse consequences: illnesses, deterioration of the accommodation… Your Rowenta dehumidifier improves your living environment by removing and collecting the excess of water vapour from the ambient air. It protects your living environment from the damaging effects of excessive humidity.

THE DAMPNESS IN THE ATMOSPHERE IS EXPRESSED AS RELATIVE HUMIDITY (HR). The relative humidity is the quantity of water vapour present in the air expressed as a percentage of the maximum quantity of vapour that the air can hold at the same temperature without condensation. The relative humidity is measured with a hygrometer:

RH <50% – the air in the room is too dry,
RH between 50 and 60% – this is considered healthy,
RH >60% – the air is too humid.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

Your Rowenta dehumidifier contains an electronic hygrometer, giving precise control of the relative humidity:

The air is drawn in by a fan system and then passes through a refrigerant evaporator where it is cooled and the excess humidity is collected. The air leaving the refrigerant evaporator is dry and cold.
It then passes through the refrigerant condenser which warms it before it is dispersed through the room.
The water precipitated in the refrigerant evaporator is collected in the tank or a hose for continuous drainage.

LOCATION

First place the dehumidifier in the room requiring priority treatment. To maintain a good level of humidity throughout the dwelling, the dehumidifier should then be installed in a central position. The air must be allowed to circulate freely; ensure that the appliance is not installed behind curtains or near any other obstruction and leave a minimum free space of 10 cm (4 in) on all sides of the appliance.

WARNINGS

It is essential to read these instructions carefully and to observe the following recommendations.

For your safety, this appliance is compliant with applicable standards and regulations (Low (Voltage and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directives).
This product has been designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.
Do not operate your appliance in a dusty atmosphere or where there is a fire risk.
Before each use, check that the appliance, power cord and plug are in good general condition.
Never insert objects into the appliance (e.g. needles).
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an approved after-sales service or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid any danger.
When in use, this appliance must be kept out of the reach of young children, animals and persons with certain disabilities.
Never pull on the power cord or the appliance, even to disconnect the plug from the wall socket.

Do not touch the appliance with wet hands.
The appliance must be installed in accordance with national electrical installation rules, including fuse or circuit breaker.
Do not use your appliance near inflammable objects and materials (curtains, aerosols, solvents etc.).
Never use the appliance in other than an upright position. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface.
Do not place heavy objects or allow children to climb or sit on the appliance.
Do not put anything in the tank.
Stop your appliance with the On/Off button before disconnecting it.
Turn off and disconnect the appliance before moving it.
If you are away for a long time: turn off the appliance with the button and unplug it.

VOLTAGE

Before using your appliance for the first time, check that the supply voltage matches that indicated on the appliance.

OPERATION

Before switching on your appliance, make sure that:

the appliance is positioned in accordance with these instructions,
the air inlet and outlet grills are completely unobstructed,
the appliance is placed on a flat and stable surface,

ON/OFF
Connect your appliance. The ambient relative humidity will be shown on the display. The dehumidifier will start operating as soon as you press the ON button. The ON, CONTINUE and AIR CLEAN indicators will light.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY DISPLAY
The temperature and humidity display (P) indicates the ambient temperature and humidity. When the appliance is turned on, the display shows the relative humidity in%. If you wish to know the temperature, press button (O) to view the temperature in °C. Press button (O) again to revert to the display of relative humidity

HUMIDITY CONTROL FUNCTIONS
To set the target relative humidity, select one of the values, 70%, 60% or 50%, using the button (T). If the 70% indicator lamp is lit, this indicates that the air will be dehumidified until the relative humidity falls to 70%. The appliance will turn off automatically if the relative humidity is below 70% (the compressor will stop but the fan will continue to operate). The compressor will start again if the relative humidity exceeds 70%. The same applies if 60% or 50% is selected.

AIR CLEAN FUNCTION
The AIR CLEAN function (S) can be selected using the button (T). The fan of the appliance will start and the air will be cleaned by passing through the filter without being dehumidified

CONTINUE FUNCTION
The appliance dehumidifies continuously, irrespective of the relative humidity, if the CONTINUE function (R) is activated using the button (T).

FULL FUNCTION
The appliance beeps and the indicator (U) blinks if the water tank is full. The indicator stops blinking and the dehumidifier stops working again once the tank is emptied and replaced.

DEFROST FUNCTION
If the indicator (V) is lit, the dehumidifier is in defrost mode. The compressor stops and the AIR CLEAN indicator (S) remains lit. The compressor starts again 8 minutes after the start of the defrost mode.

CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE

Use a PVC pipe, 14 mm in diameter

Remove the tank from the appliance.
Unblock the drainage opening (L) provided at the rear of the appliance with a pointed object.
Insert the pipe in the drainage opening and place the other end of the drainage pipe in a suitable outflow.
Connect the pipe to the drainage outlet and tighten well.
Ensure that the slope between the 2 ends of the pipe allows water to flow away normally.
Finally, replace the tank (the main indicator comes on and all others go out).

EMPTYING THE TANK

When the tank is full:

The appliance stops and the red, FULL indicator (U) lights.
Pull the tank carefully out of the appliance, lift it by the handle (F) and empty out the water.
Once it is empty, replace the tank in the appliance.

TRANSPORT

The appliance is easy to move, thanks to its rollers.
Note: Your appliance includes a refrigeration compressor; laying the appliance on its side can cause a malfunction.

CARE

It is imperative that you turn off your appliance using the button and disconnect it before any cleaning operation.
It can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Important: Never use abrasive cleaners, these will damage the surfaces.
Your appliance is fitted with a removable, cleanable filter, which must be cleaned regularly.
- Remove the filter by sliding it outwards and wash it with tap water.
  Always take care to dry the filter before replacing it.
Never use the appliance without its filter.

STORAGE

When the appliance is not in use, it can be stored in a dry place. Take care to empty the water tank.
