Information about the device

Device description
The device uses the principle of condensation to automatically dehumidify rooms.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet, the air filter, the evaporator, and to the condenser located behind it. The air is cooled at the cold evaporator until it is below the dew point.
Water vapor contained in the room air precipitates on the evaporator fins as condensation or rime. The dehumidified cooled air is slightly warmed at the condenser and blown out again. The drier air thus conditioned mixes with the air in the room. The humidity in the room where the device is positioned is reduced as air constantly circulates through the device.
Depending on the air temperature and the relative humidity, the condensed water either drops continuously or only during the defrost phase through the integrated drain nozzle into the condensation tank below. It is fitted with a float to measure the filling level.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the functions.
Once the maximum filling level of the condensation tank is reached or in case the condensation tank is not installed correctly, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter
Operation) on the control panel is illuminated. The device switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is reinserted.
Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a hose at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx. 30 %.
In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes dryer to dry wet laundry in living or working spaces.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the room temperature may rise slightly.

Transport and storage

Note
If you store or transport the device improperly, the device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of the device

Transport
Please note that additional transport regulations might apply to devices containing flammable refrigerants. The equipment’s arrangement and the maximum number of components to be transported together can be gathered from the applicable transport regulations.
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with a carry handle.
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with wheels.

Before transporting the device, observe the following:

  • Switch the device off.

  • Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.

  • Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the
    condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).

  • Do not use the power cable to drag the device.

  • Only wheel the device on a level and smooth surface.

After transporting the device, proceed as follows:

  • Set up the device in an upright position after transport.
  • Leave the device to rest for 12 to 24 hours, so the refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait for 12 to 24 hours before switching the device back on! Acting contrary might lead to compressor damage and a malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be voided

Storage
Before storing the device, observe the following:

  • Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).

  • Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out of the mains socket.
    When the device is not being used, observe the following storage conditions:

  • Only store the device in a room measuring more than 4 m2.

  • dry and protected from frost and heat

  • in an upright position where it is protected from dust and direct sunlight

  • with a cover to protect it from invasive dust, if necessary

  • Place no further devices or objects on top of the device to prevent it from being damaged.

Cleaning the housing
Clean the housing with a soft, damp, and lint-free cloth. Make sure that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, or alcohol-based or abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.
Visual inspection of the inside of the device for dirt

  1. Remove the air filter.
  2. Use a torch to illuminate the openings of the device.
  3. Check the inside of the device for dirt.
  4. If you see a thick layer of dust, have the inside of the device cleaned by a specialist company for cooling and air- conditioning or by Trotec.
  5. Put the air filter back in.

Cleaning the air filter

Note
Ensure that the air filter is not worn or damaged. The corners and edges of the air filter must not be deformed or rounded. Before reinserting the air filter,
make sure that it is undamaged and dry!
The air filter has to be cleaned as soon as it is dirty. This is brought to light e.g. by a reduced capacity (see chapter Errors and faults).

  1. Open and remove the flap at the air inlet.

  2. Remove the air filter.

  3. Clean the filter using a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. If the filter is heavily contaminated, clean it with warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.

  4. Allow the filter to dry completely. Do not insert a wet filter into the device!

  5. Put the air filter back in.

  6. Reinsert the flap into the device.

Emptying the condensation tank
If the condensation tank is full or not inserted correctly, the TANK FULL LED (8) will be illuminated and the condensation tank full indication (15) will be displayed. The compressor and fan will switch off.

  1. Take the condensation tank out of the device

  2. Empty the condensation tank over a drain or sink.

  3. Rinse the condensation tank with clear water. Regularly clean the condensation tank using a mild cleaning agent (no detergent!).

  4. Refit the condensation tank into the device.
    Make sure not to damage the float when inserting or removing the condensation tank.
    In doing so, make sure that the float is positioned correctly.
    In doing so, make sure that the condensation tank is inserted correctly, for otherwise the device cannot be switched back on.

  • Leave the device to rest for 12 to 24 hours, so the refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait for 12 to 24 hours before switching the device back on! Acting contrary might lead to compressor damage and a malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be voided.
  • Reconnect the device to the mains. If you do not intend to use the device for a considerable time:
  • Store the device according to the Transport and storage chapter.

Disposal

The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste electrical or electronic equipment stipulates that this equipment must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end of its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local administration. You can also find out about other return options that apply to many EU countries on the website https://hub.trotec.com/?id=45090. Otherwise, please contact an official recycling center for electronic and electrical equipment authorized in your country.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling, and other forms of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative effects on the environment and human health caused by the disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the equipment.
Has the refrigerant (propane) disposed of appropriately and according to the national regulations by a company with the relevant certification (European Waste Catalogue 160504)?
