INSTALLATION

In order for the dehumidifier to work efficiently, the recommended distance must be observed, as shown below. If the operating noises of the dehumidifier interfere with TV or radio, place the unit at least 70 cm from the device.

OPERATION

DEFROSTING

If the dehumidifier detects icing on the surface of the cooling unit, it interrupts the dehumidification and starts the automatic defrosting process. Once the dehumidifier finishes the defrosting process, it resumes normal operation.
The dehumidifier stops the operation temporarily while defrosting.
Do not disconnect the plug from the socket and do not turn the unit off until defrosting is done.
This type of dehumidifier is not suitable for lowering humidity to very low level (about 30 %).
The model is suitable for removing unpleasant moisture in everyday life and as an auxiliary device for drying wet laundry. It is not suitable for lowering humidity to very low levels.

Note: The room temperature rises when the unit operates.
This type of dehumidifier does not have a cooling function. The unit heats up and increases the room temperature by 1-4 °C when operating. If the dehumidifier is used in the cabinet or something similar, the temperature may rise even more. Heat is produced by all the appliance in the room, as well as by the direct sunlight, and if windows and doors are closed, the temperature in the room may increase even more.

USE

Plug the dehumidifier into an electrical outlet.
Press the on/off button
When the automatic mode is launched, the green LED lights up.

HOW TO STOP OPERATION
Press the on/off button to interrupt the power supply, this will stop the operation and all LEDs will go out. (Warning: Do not disconnect the appliance from the mains during operation. Be sure to turn off the appliance first and then unplug the power cord. Otherwise it may damage the electrical components and shorten the life of the appliance.)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Prior to cleaning or maintenance, first switch the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains.
To prevent device malfunctions or excessive noises, keep the unit in the upright position.
Wipe the body of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth.
Use a soft, moist (well wringed out) cloth to remove larger dirt deposits. Never use a damp cloth to clean the control panel.
To avoid any deformation or cracking, do not use gasoline, thinner or other liquid detergents.
Chemicals can cause color changes of the surface of the appliance.

Put the tank back in the unit.

Note: Water is collected in the tank during the operation. An orange light will start flashing indicating that the water tank is full and the dehumidifier automatically stops operating.
Warning:

The operating temperature of the dehumidifier is 5-32 °C. Use the appliance within this temperature range. If you use the device outside the specified temperature range, the safety fuses will stop the operation. This is normal.
If the room temperature is below 5 °C, the humidity is relatively low and the dehumidifier cannot be used.
The built-in compressor produces heat and it slightly increases the room temperature during operation. This is normal.
The dehumidifier stops operating as soon as the water tank is full.
The dehumidifier cannot start or stop the operation itself, in this case check the following steps:
Make sure both the plug and the socket are OK.
If it seems there is no problem, wait 10 minutes.
If the appliance still does not work, contact your dealer.

electrical outlet.	Plug the power cord plug in the wall outlet.
Make sure the water tank is not full.	Drain water out of the tank.
Make sure the tank is properly inserted.	Put the water tank in the correct

position.
Low dehumidification volume| Check whether the filters are dirty or not.| Clean the filters as instructed.
Make sure the air openings are not blocked.| Remove all obstructions blocking the openings.
Loud noises during operation| Make sure the unit is installed as instructed.| Place the unit on a stable, flat surface.
The appliance stops operating in the room| Check that the room temperature is not higher than the designated operating temperature.| As soon as the temperature drops, the appliance will start operating automatically.
Washed laundry is not dry| Check that the outlet of the appliance does not aim on the laundry.| Move the laundry to the other side of the appliance with the air inlet.
Make sure the room temperature is not too low.| It is difficult to dry the laundry at low temperatures.

If one of the following phenomena occurs, your appliance is OK.

Phenomenon	Cause
Operation gets interrupted for time to time	The unit is defrosting.
Low dehumidification volume	If the room temperature is low, the speed of

dehumidification decreases. The unit stops if the room temperature drops below approx. 5 °C or rises above 32 °C. In automatic mode, the dehumidifier will stop if the humidity drops below 60 %.
The humidity in the room is still high| The room is too big. Doors or windows in the room may often get opened/ closed. The dehumidifier is used in the room along with a kerosene heater that emits steam.
Unpleasant smell is emitted during operation| Odours come from walls, furniture or other objects.
