Notes on the refrigerant R290

The unit is only designed for use with R-290(propane) gas as refrigerant. The refrigerant circuit is sealed. Maintenance work in this regard may only be carried out by a qualified technician. The maintenance manual must be requested from themanufacturer by the technician. Do not release the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
R290 (propane) is extremely flammable and heavier than air. It first collects in low areas, but can be circulated by fans. If propane gas is present, or suspected to be present, do not allow untrained personsto search for the cause. The propane gas used in this unit is odourless. Therefore, gas may have escaped even without any perceptible smell.

The components used are designed for propane gas and are therefore non- ignitable and non-sparking. Components may only be replaced by identical spare parts approved by the manufacturer. Note that the refrigerant is odourless. Compliance with national gas regulations must be observed.

Failure to comply with the safety instructions can lead to explosion, death, injury and material damage.

  Attention| Any person carrying out work on the refrigerant circuit shall hold a current valid certificate of competence issued by an assessment body accredited by the  industrywhich demonstrates their competence to safely handle refrigerant in accordance with a procedure recognised by the industry.
---|---
Attention| Maintenance may only be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. During maintenance and repairs requiring the assistance of other specialists, the person trained in handling flammable gases must constantly monitor the work

If you do not understand something or need help, please contact the manufacturer. You will find the contact details at the end of this manual.

Appropriate use

The dehumidifier is only intended for dehumidifying privately used rooms (e.g. living rooms, bedrooms, storage rooms or cellars). The user must comply with the specified operating parameters of this manual. The machine may only be used for its intended purpose. Any other use beyond this is not intended. The user/operator and not the manufacturer is liable for any damage or injury of any kind resulting from this.

Operating instructions

The device is designed for a temperature range between 5 and 35°C. Below 5°C the air
humidity tends to be very low, so you do not need to use a dehumidifier. Above 35°C, the overheating protection may automatically switch off the unit. The device is not approved for operation outside the temperature range. The dehumidifier warms the air so that it can dehumidify optimally. Therefore the room temperature can rise by 1-2 degrees. This is quite normal and increases the efficiency of the device. When the water tank is full, the appliance switches off automatically.

Leave the appliance in its final, upright position for at least 24 hours before starting it up for the first time. Always operate the appliance in an upright position and do not tilt it during operation.

    Installation Instruction

Before commissioning

After unpacking the device, check it for completeness and possible transport damage to avoid any hazards. In case of doubt, do not use it, but contact our customer service. The service address can be found at the end of this manual.

Your device is in a package to protect it from transport damage.

  • Carefully remove the device from its sales packaging.
  • Remove all packing parts.
  • Clean the unit and all accessories from packaging dust residue, as described in the chapter “Maintenance”.

Commissioning

Before connecting the power plug, check the device and especially the cable for damage. The device may only be operated with a faultless mains cable. Connect the power cord and switch on the unit with the on/off switch.
WARNING: Always allow the appliance to run for at least 35 minutes before switching it off and never switch it off and on continuously. There would be a risk of compressor damage. Leave the Comedes BTR 50 to stand for at least 3 minutes after switching off, without moving the appliance, so that the water in the drip tray can drain completely. The higher the humidity in a room and the higher the temperature in it, the better the Comedes BTR 50 can dehumidify the air. Therefore, the compressor will generate heat and thus heat the room air. This is quite normal and need not worry you.

Note: Before using the device for the first time, we recommend that you operate it for 5-10 minutes with the window open to remove any production- related residues. Any smell that may occur is normal and disappears after a short time. This is not a malfunction of the device. Ensure adequate ventilation.

**On / Off switch:**

Press the On / Off switch to switch on the appliance; the dehumidifier starts in continuous operation and the current indoor humidity is shown on the display. Press the On / Off switch again to turn the unit off. The compressor switches off immediately, the fan switches off with a 1 minute delay. In standby, “- -” is shown on the display.

Automatic operation

The device is equipped with a modern hygrostat (humidity controller) and switches off
automatically when the desired humidity is reached. The compressor switches off first and then the fan 60 seconds later. If the humidity in the room rises again, the Comedes BTR 50 switches on again automatically. In automatic mode, values from 20% to 90% can be set. The basic setting in automatic mode is a target humidity of 50%. If the “CNT” LED does not light up, the unit is in automatic mode and the desired target humidity can be set in 5% steps by repeatedly pressing the plus or minus key. The switching hysteresis is 3%RH.

Continuous OperationContinuous operation

To operate the unit in continuous operation (CNT), press the “CNT” key. If the device works in continuous operation, the corresponding “CNT” LED is lit. To switch from continuous operation back to automatic mode, press the “CNT” key. The “CNT” LED goes out. During operation, the current humidity is shown on the display. In continuous operation, the appliance dehumidifies until the water tank is full, or the appliance is switched off manually or a set running time has elapsed.

Timer  Timer

Press the timer button to start the timer function. You can set a time of 1-24 hours by
repeatedly pressing the Plus or Minus key. If the timer is activated, this is indicated by the corresponding LED. If you activate the timer during operation, the unit switches off after the set time. If you activate the timer while the unit is in standby mode, the unit will start automatically after the set time has elapsed. If the timer is active, the “Timer” LED lights up. To turn off the timer, press the timer button again.

Temperature display
Press and hold the Timer button for at least 3 seconds and the current room temperature is shown on the display. After approx. 10 seconds, the current room humidity is displayed again.

Empty water tank:

When the water tank is full, the Comedes BTR 50 will automatically shut down and the Tank Full indicator ( Fig. 3) will light up. This is also signalled acoustically (15x beeps). To stop the alarm, press the power button and turn off the unit. You must empty the water tank to be able to put the BTR 50 back into operation. To do this, always switch off the device first and pull the mains plug.

The water tank is located behind a cover on the front of the unit. Open this cover to access the tank. Now grasp the water tank by the handle on its upper side and pull it horizontally out of the appliance.
Empty Water Tank

Now empty the water tank completely into a sink or similar and put it back into the appliance. Make sure that the tank is correctly inserted to ensure proper operation of the unit.

Make sure that the plug of the water tank closes the connection for the hose securely and firmly.
Empty Water Tank

Attention:

  • To ensure correct and safe operation of the unit, the float must not be removed from the water tank

  • If the water tank is dirty, it should be cleaned. Use cold or warm water without
    additives. Additives or cleaning utensils such as detergent, steel wool, benzene or other chemical cleaners are not suitable as these can damage the tank and cause leakage.

  • To protect the compressor, it has a 3 minute switch-on delay.

Hose drainage

The Comedes BTR 50 can also be operated with a drainage hose (Ø11.0mm). To do this, remove the water tank and attach a drainage hose. Proceed as follows:
Hose Drainage

  1. Remove the water tank and empty it completely.
  2. Pull the plug from the hose connection of the water tank and insert it back into the appliance.
  3. Insert a suitable drainage hose from the outside through the opening provided in the housing.
  4. Now attach the hose to the hose connection of the water tank. If necessary, pull the water tank slightly out of the device. Then close the tank cover.
  5. Now lay the drainage hose to a suitable drain and make sure that the hose remains in the intended position there.
  6. To use the unit in tank operation again, pull off the drainage hose and close the connection for the hose on the water tank securely and firmly with the plug.
    Hose drainage

Attention:

  • Make sure that the hose does not run higher than the hose connection on the appliance at any point, so that the water can run off without disturbance.
  • Make sure that the drainage hose does not hang in the water.
  • Make sure that the drainage hose is not kinked or blocked. Check this regularly.

After each use and before attaching or removing accessories, the appliance must be switched off and disconnected from the mains by removing the mains plug from the socket outlet with earthing contact after switching off. Allow the appliance to cool to room temperature before cleaning and/or storing.

Automatic defrosting system

To ensure safe operation of the unit, the dehumidifier switches off automatically at  ambien temperatures <5°C and >38°C. The dehumidifier is equipped with a temperature-dependent defrost function. When the temperature sensor detects a temperature of ≤-1°C (for at least 10 seconds) on the evaporator, the appliance starts defrosting. The compressor switches off and the fan continues to run. During defrosting the corresponding (“DEFROST”) indicator on the control panel is lit. The defrosting process is active until the temperature measured at the evaporator exceeds 5°C or a defrosting cycle of 15 minutes has been carried out.

Recommendations for drying with the Comedes BTR 50

In order to achieve the best possible dehumidification result with the BTR 50, the
energy use, we provide the following information: Since this manual can only give limited help, we recommend that you find more information at: www.comedes.com.

Basics for dehumidification with the Comedes BTR 50
The dehumidifier works similar to a refrigerator with a refrigerating machine. This creates a cold surface (at the evaporator) where water condenses. Depending on air humidity and ambient temperature, the water condenses at the dew point temperature. For the dehumidifier to dehumidify, the cold surface must be below the dew point temperature. As the water would freeze at negative dew point temperatures, the dehumidifier can only work with positive dew point temperatures. To ensure this, the dehumidifier is equipped with a modern, temperaturecontrolled automatic defrosting system that keeps the evaporator temperature between 0 and 5°C. To be able to dehumidify sensibly, the dew point temperature should be above 5°C. If the dew point temperature is below this, dehumidification is either not possible at all or only very inefficiently. With the following table you can determine the dew point temperature in your case. If the dew point temperatures are too low, heating is recommended.
Attention:
Only heat the room with water-bearing heating units such as underfloor heating and permanently installed radiators. If this is not possible, the room can be preheated with another electric heater. However, the dehumidifier must not be located in this room. The safety and operating instructions in this manual must be followed under all circumstances.
Table

Drying in case of problems with condensation
Condensation moisture usually occurs in cellars when moist air enters the cellar in summer and condenses on the cold cellar walls. We recommend to dehumidify the cellar room by room in continuous operation at first. Let the appliance run continuously at first until you notice that the amount of water you drain from the tank every day becomes less. Now place the device in the next room. Once you have dried all rooms, we recommend selecting a central installation location and operating the unit in automatic mode. This type of dehumidification is more energy-efficient than if you dehumidify immediately in automatic mode, as the appliance then switches off and on very frequently.

Drying in case of construction defects or water damage
In the case of construction defects and water damage, the cause should first be eliminated. The rooms can then be dried with condensation dryers such as the BTR 50. The dehumidifier is operated in continuous operation. The ambient temperature should be at least 20°C(no more than 27°C).
Caution: Only heat the room with water-bearing heating units such as underfloor heating and permanently installed radiators. If this is not possible, the room can be preheated with another electric heater. However, the dehumidifier must not be located in this room. The safety and operating instructions in this manual must be followed under all circumstances. Please note that, depending on the construction defect, drying of the insulation layer may also be necessary can be. This must be carried out by a specialist company.

Recommended air humidity for rooms
Basically this depends on the ambient temperature. The higher the temperature of the room, the lower the relative humidity should be set, otherwise mould growth in the room is favoured. The pleasant air humidity ranges from 35% to 65% relative humidity, depending on the ambient temperature. The following diagram gives an indication of which humidity is optimal at which ambient temperatures.
Humdity for rooms
The diagram assumes that temperatures >=20°C are living rooms and temperatures <=20°C are basement rooms.

Maintenance

Always switch off and unplug the appliance before starting cleaning, maintenance or repair work.
A maintenance log must be kept for the operation of the device as follows
