SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON REFRIGERANT R290

R290 is a refrigerant according to the EC environmental guidelines.
The refrigerant is odorless.
The appliance should be installed in a room where there are no ignition sources in operation (e.g.: open fire, gas and electrical appliances in operation with open heat source)
Do not perforate or burn the air conditioner.
Make sure that the cooling circuit is not drilled.
Non-ventilated rooms in which the appliance is installed, operated or stored must be designed in such a way that any loss of refrigerant does not build up. This avoids the risk of fire or explosion caused by ignition of the refrigerant caused by electric ovens, cookers or other sources of ignition. The device must be stored in such a way that no mechanical damage can occur.
Persons operating or intervening on a refrigeration circuit shall be in possession of a valid certificate issued by an authorized authority certifying their expertise in the handling of refrigerants by a rating specification recognized by the industry associations.
The repair work must be carried out according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the device. Repair and maintenance operations that require the use of additional specialist personel are to be carried out under the supervision of a specialist who is responsible for the handling of flammable refrigerants.

RECYCLING
The packaging materials can be recycled. Therefore it is recommended to dispose of them in sorted waste.

DISPOSAL
The crossed-out bin symbol requires the separate disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Electrical and electronic equipment may contain hazardous and environmentally hazardous substances. Therefore, do not dispose of it in unsorted residual waste, but at a designated collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment. This helps to protect resources and the environment.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Setting for automatic switching off
While the device is running, press the TIMER-Button to enter the timer setting. With the timer-button you can set the time from 0 to 24 hours, each time you press it, the set time increases by 1 hour. If the timer button does not move within 5 seconds, it means that the time is confirmed. Once the set time has elapsed, the device automatically turns off.

If the timer button does not trigger any action within 5 seconds after completing the setting, it means that the time is confirmed.

Automatic dehumidification mode
For automatic dehumidification, activate the option with the MODE-Button. If the room humidity is > set humidity + 5%, the compressor starts and the fan runs at the set air speed. If the room humidity is < set humidity – 5%, the compressor will stop and the fan will not run. If the room humidity is between set humidity + 5% and set humidity – 5%, the whole unit runs in the initial operating condition. The initial value of the set humidity is 50%.

Note:
With this model, the compressor switches off when the room humidity is less than -5% of the set humidity, the fan continues to run at the set air speed.

Continuous dehumidification mode
For continuous dehumidification, activate this option with the MODE-Button. Then the compressor will start regardless of the relative humidity in the room, the fan will run at the highest speed by default and the fan speed can be adjusted.

Child lock function
Press and hold the MODE key 3 sec. to activate or deactivate the key lock. (All buttons on the control panel are disabled when the key lock is activated).

APPLICATION

Dehumidification
The appliance is continuously dehumidified and the drain hose (12 mm inner diameter) is attached to the side of the device to drain the water. Look for the water drainage connection on the left side and pull out the water stopper.

Connect a drain hose with 12 mm inner diameter to the water drainage connection.

The following figure illustrates the connection between continuous dehumidification.

Note:
Before operating the device, make sure that the water plug is removed and the drain hose is connected to the drain connection. The height of the water pipe end must be at least 10 cm below the height of the unit’s connection, and the hose must be smooth and not kinked, otherwise, it will not drain properly. $SHX90LEF2202-Air-Dehumidifier-fig- $9$$

Dehumidification with the water pump
Check that the water plug of the continuous drain is inserted and ensure the water plug is inserted.

Insert a water hose with an inner diameter of 5 mm into the water drainage connection of the pump (access is possible at any angle).

Note

Before starting the unit, connect the water connection to the continuous water connection and connect the hose to the pump connection so that the floor does not get wet.
Tip: Before using the unit with the continuous dehumidification pump, you must pull out the water plug and connect the waste water hose to the continuous dehumidification connection.

CLEAN THE DUST FILTER

To ensure efficient operation of the dehumidifier, you should clean the dust filter after each week of operation. To do this, please follow the steps below:

Switch off the appliance before cleaning, then wait a few minutes and unplug the appliance to disconnect it from the mains.
Remove the inserted air filter.
Use a Vacuum Cleaner to remove the dust accumulated on the filter.
If the grille and the filter are very dirty, soak the filter in hot water and rinse it several times – the water temperature should not exceed 40°C, however. Clean with a Vacuum Cleaner.
Allow the dust filter to dry thoroughly after washing and put it back into the dehumidifier.

NOTE
However, we recommend cleaning the filter as described after each week of operation to ensure that the appliance works as efficiently as possible.

NOTE
Never use the appliance without the filter.

CLEANING THE HOUSING

Before cleaning, switch off the unit, then wait a few minutes and unplug the power cord to disconnect the unit from the mains.

Clean the unit with a moderately damp cloth and then wipe it with a dry cloth.

Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the unit – this could be dangerous.
Do not spray insecticides or similar agents on the dehumidifier.

ACTIVITIES AT THE BEGINNING/END OF THE SEASON
