PREPARATION FOR USE

Remove all the packing material and take out the appliance. Remove all possible adhesion foils, stick–on labels or paper from the appliance. Place the appliance on a suitable flat and dry surface. Leave free space for due ventilation. Vents in the appliance ensure air circulation during ventilation and they must not be covered or blocked in another way. Make sure that the power cord is not damaged and that it does not lead any sharp or hot surfaces. The electric socket must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be easily disconnected from power supply if danger appears.
INSTALLATION AND POSITION OF THE APPLIANCE
Place the appliance on a flat surface in a good ventilated room. Avoid direct sunshine, observe minimum distance of 30 cm from back and side walls or other obstacles.
Observe the instruction provided in the Safety section.
RH indication levels (RH = Relative humidity)
The appliance shows 3 basic colours indicating RH level.

Remarks related to the functioning of the appliance

• Functional principle of the appliance consists in circulation of air in the cooling circuit, where condensation of air humidity and its drainage into the condensed water tank occurs.
• Compressor dehumidifiers are most efficient at higher ambient temperatures (approx. 30 °C). The lower ambient temperature, the lower dehumidification efficiency. In standard household, the appliance should be used at 22 – 25 °C or higher temperatures. Therefore, it is advisable to combine drying with air heating in the event of increased dehumidification requirements (e.g. using hot air fan, which will increase the temperature and, at the same time, air circulation intensity).
• Optimum air humidity in summer ranges 40 – 55 %, in winter 45 – 60 %.

AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING „NO FROST“
The appliance has an automatic defrosting function which turns off the compressor during operation and activates the highest fan speed for 10 minutes. Indicator lamp B2 will be flashing in the defrosting mode. The following conditions are relevant for this function:
A. At ambient temperature <5 °C or >35 °C, the compressor stops and the fan will be switched off after 30 seconds.
B. At ambient temperature 5 – 35 °C:
– defrosting function will be activated at temperatures 5 – 10 °C and also continual compressor operation for 30 minutes.
– defrosting function will be activated at temperatures 11 – 18 °C and also continual compressor operation for 45 minutes
– At current temperatures > 18 °C, the compressor runs continuously, no defrosting occurs.
Remarks
– When defrosting is complete, the appliance will continue to operate as set.
– The defrosting process should not be interrupted! In case of interruption, the following shall apply:
– if the appliance will be switched off and on within 5 minutes, the defrosting process will be deactivated;
– if the appliance will be switched off (or if condensed water vessel A3 is full) and also after 5 minutes of the defrosting time, the defrosting process will be resumed, provided the appliance is switched on (or condensed water vessel A3 drained) within 30 minutes.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

After connection to the mains, the appliance will be switched to stand by mode (sound signal will be issued and all indicator lamps, A1 indicator and the display will go on for a moment; then only indicator lamp B2 will remain lighting).
By pressing B1 in standby mode, the appliance will be turned on in automatic mode at high speed of the fan and set RH value of 50% (corresponding icons will light up on the control panel). At the same time, current RH value in the room will be displayed. Now you can change the modes and functions using the corresponding buttons, see below. For disabling any function and switching the appliance in stand by mode, press button B1 again. If the compressor is running, it will be stopped immediately, however, the fan continues running and it will be stopped after 30 seconds (time delay).
Remark

• If the appliance is active, the control system will be switched to economy mode (indicator lamps will be dimmed) after several minutes. Press any button to disable the economy mode.
• At hot days, the air outlet is warm at touching. This is normal.
• The appliance will resume the recent operation mode set by the user. If the appliance is on and has been switched off by disconnecting power cable, stand by mode will be skipped and set program will be activated immediately.

1. DEHUMIDIFICATION MODES
   The appliance has three basic dehumidification modes, they can be changed by pressing
   B3 in the following sequence: automatic> continual > sleep > automatic …
   a) Automatic mode (indicator lamp B4 is on )
   As soon as ambient RH value is ≥ than the RH value you have set (+ 3 %), the fan and the compressor will be activated. If subsequently RH value drops below/is equal to the RH value RH you have set (-3 %), the compressor will be switched off. The fan will be switched off after 30 seconds.
   (Setting fan speed and required humidity can be made).
   b) Continual mode (indicator lamp B4 is on )
   Continual dehumidification at the highest fan speed is active until this mode has not been deactivated A3 vessel has been filled.
   (Setting fan speed and required humidity level is not possible).
   c) Sleep mode (indicator lamp B4 is on )
   Fan speed will be adjusted to minimum, sound signal (including ‟water vessel full‟ signal) will be disabled; at the same time, indication A1 and fan indicator lamp B10 will be switched off by display B6 10 seconds after activation of this mode. Press any button to switch on the lamps and the display for a moment.
   Note:
   – The appliance will be switched off if ambient RH value is ≤ 57 %.
   – The appliance will be activated as soon as ambient RH value is ≥ 63 %.
   (Setting fan speed and required humidity level is not possible).

2. SETTING REQUIRED HUMIDITY LEVEL
   Use button B5 to set individual RH value to be maintained in the room. Humidity setting range: 30 % – 35 % – 40 % – 45 % – 50 % – 55 % – 60 % – 65 % –70 % – 75 % – 80 %.
   As soon as the required value has been set, its value will flash on display several times and it will be confirmed after a while. Current RH value will be displayed and the setting will be stored.
   Remark
   Press long B5 to display room temperature for a couple of seconds.

3. FAN BLOWING SPEED
   Two blowing speeds can be switched (low – high ), using B9. The relevant value is indicted by lighting up B10.
   (Can be changed in automatic mode).

4. TIMER
   The timer has two basic functions: delayed start, delayed switching off. The function you have set will be indicated by B8. Use B7 for setting the relevant time delay, ranging 1-24 hours (in 1-hour intervals). Value ‟00“–the timer is disabled.
   A) Delayed switching off – can be set in active mode. After expiration of set period of time, the appliance will be switched to stand by mode.
   B) Delayed start – start of the appliance can be set in stand by mode. After expiration of set period of time (watch countdown on display), the appliance will be switched on. After switching on, the recent setting (stored in memory) will be activated.

5. CHILD LOCK
   Press long B11 to lock all buttons. Press long B11 again to unlock all buttons.
   Active function will be indicted by lighting B12.

Draining condensed water
Condensed water collects in vessel A3. Its level is shown by indicator A4. As soon as the vessel is full, operation of the appliance will be interrupted, sound signal will be issued and indicator lamp B13 will light up. Switch off the appliance, drain condensed water through the hole in the corner of the water vessel cover A12, then put the vessel back to its place (water indicator lamp B13 must go out). Then switch on the appliance again and proceed the required activity.
If circumstances and location of the appliance permit, you can connect external drain tube C (fig. 1, steps 4 and 5) to the appliance and drain condensed water to a suitable tank/piping. Do not immerse the tube in water, condensed water must be allowed to drip freely.
Remark

• If you use external drain tube, it must not be bent or elevated (risk of water flowing into the room).

• The ambient temperature of the drain tube while used must not fall below zero C°.
  Drained water could freeze in the tube which could result in getting water into the appliance and resulting leakage into the room.

• When removing the vessel during operation, sound signal will be heard and indicator lamp B13 will go on.
