  • If the unit is very noisy during operation, it is recommended to install rubber buffers or damping rubber mats underneath the dehumidifier to reduce vibration and noise. It also reduces the sinking of wooden and carpet floors.

Use without continuous water drainage
As soon as the water tank is full, the corresponding indicator light flashes (compressor, fan, etc. stop operation). The unit beeps 10 times to remind the user that the water needs to be drained.

Place both hands on each side of the rear cover. Carefully pull the water tank out of the unit and open the water tank cover on the right side of the water tank. Pour the water through the gap between the water tank and the water tank cover. Close the water tank cover and turn the water tank handle downwards. Replace the water tank in the appliance and restart the dehumidifier.Note: Empty the water tank when it is full. Before reinserting the water tank into the unit, make sure that the float is movable or not.

Setting up continuous water drainage (10034433)

Determine the position where the drain plug is located. Remove the drain plug.

Connect a drain pipe of appropriate length to the water outlet. Before use, make sure the drain line is properly connected, otherwise water leaks may occur. Note: The level of the connected drain hose must not be higher than the water outlet itself and the drain hose must be properly connected otherwise water leaks may occur because the water cannot drain properly.

Setting up continuous water drainage (10034434 & 10034435)
When the pump function is deactivated: Connect a drain line (outside diameter 13 mm) to the rear of the dehumidifier. Use a garden hose with a standard 26.98 mm outer diameter thread and 11.5 TPI inclination.
Note: With water-based plate cleaning function. Remove the appliance drain plug and clean the dehumidifier if you will not be using the appliance for an extended period of time. Hold a cup under the drain plug when removing it to prevent the floor from getting wet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question Reply
Why is there less water in the dehumidifier tank in winter? In winter the

temperatures are lower and the air is drier. The dehumidifying capacity therefore decreases compared to summer. This is not a fault of the unit.
Why does the unit not run or stops

abruptly?

| The dehumidifier’s water tank may be full or incorrectly installed. Drain the water or insert the water tank correctly into the appliance.
The ambient temperature may be too high or too low. The dehumidifier will only operate at temperatures between 5 and 32°c and relative humidity between 30% and 80%. The optimal operating

temperature is 16 – 32 °c.

Why does hot air come from the air

outlet?

| This dehumidifier draws in the room

air and cools it down to a temperature below the condensation point so that the air condenses into drops of water that fall into the water tank. The dehumidified air is then reheated and exits the air outlet. This reduces energy consumption and accelerates dehumidification. The outlet of hot air is not a fault.
