Explanation of graphic symbols on the product and packaging

Product Features

• System Overview
  • This appliance works with a compressor, an evaporator, a refrigerant and fans to cool or dehumidify a room and can also be used as a fan.
  • For cooling and dehumidification, air is sucked into the back of the appliance and passed through an air filter. The air filter needs regular maintenance.
  • The refrigerant is pumped in a closed system between the compressor and the evaporator to extract heat or moisture from the air in the room. The cooled or dry air is then blown back into room by the fan through the air outlet at the top of the appliance. The hot air produced in this process is directed out via the hot air outlet located at the rear of the appliance, and the corresponding air outlet duct that needs to be attached to it.
  • During the operation, the appliance produces condensate water that is collected in the water tank. This tank must be emptied in good time.
