Notes on this instruction manual

This instruction manual contains important information on how to transport, install, operate, store and dispose of the AERIAL air dehumidifier properly and safely. Therefore keep this instruction manual in a safe place.

Safety

Designated use Use the air dehumidifier exclusively for dehumidifying air at atmospheric pressure in enclosed indoor rooms. The air dehumidifier is not suitable for users with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities unless they are supervised or instructed in detail about how to use the air dehumidifier by a responsible person. The air dehumidifier must not be used by children.

Each user must have read and understood the instruction manual.

Operating the dehumidifiers within the limits of designated use also involves observing the specified operating conditions.

Foreseeable misuse
Any use of the air dehumidifier not in conformity with or going beyond the designated use is regarded as misuse and will result in the forfeiture of all warranty claims.

General safety instructions

WARNING! Explosion due to flammable refrigerant

  • Doe not use any other objects but those permitted by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting process.
  • Keep the air dehumidifier only in rooms without permanent ignition sources (e. g. naked flames, any gas appliance or electric heater switched on).
  • Do not drill into or scorch the air dehumidifier.
  • Refrigerants are odorless!
  • Install, operate and store the air dehumidifier in a room with a floor area larger than 4 m2.

WARNING! Electric shock from live part

Spilling of condensate on live parts may cause fatal injury due to electric shock.

Before moving the air dehumidifier:

  • Pump out residual water by pressing “P” on the operating panel. A small amount of water will remain in the air dehumidifier for technical reasons.
  • Switch the air dehumidifier off, and disconnect the power plug from the socket

WARNING! Electric shock!

Work on electrical components may only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorized personnel

WARNING! The air dehumidifier must not be used under the following conditions:

  • in rooms with potentially explosive atmospheres.

  • in rooms with aggressive atmospheres, e. g. caused by chemicals.

  • in rooms with water with a pH value outside the range from 7.0 to 7.4.
    Note: In case of lower pH values there is risk of corrosion for all metals.

  • In rooms with salt or liquids with a salt content > 1 %, e. g. brine baths.

  • In rooms with ozone-treated air, high solvent concentration or extremely high dust load.

WARNING! Poisoning incidents, burns, crushing during maintenance work!

  • Work on internal components may only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorized personnel.
  • Repairs or maintenance work may only be carried out by the manufacturer or authorized personnel.

ATTENTION! Material damage!

Use exclusively original spare parts or spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
In the event of any malfunction switch off and secure the air dehumidifier against unintended restarting

Performance description

The air dehumidifier can prevent the formation of condensation water, remove excessive humidity and keep humidity at a defined constant level.

Scope of delivery

  • Air dehumidifier
  • Condensate water drain hose 3 m with coupling
  • one instruction manual

Optional accessories Lashing straps for transport and storage 6003-0048

Device description

Via the 6 amp plug socket (Fig. 2, item 7) further devices can be connected. The condensate is collected in an internal tank. When the fill level reaches a limit value, the draining pump will start to run. If the limit value is exceeded, the air dehumidifier will switch off indicating an error message

Transport and installation

Observe chapter 2 “Safety“.

Transport

WARNING! Crushing due to loss of stability!

The air dehumidifier should be transported upright.

  • Always secure the air dehumidifier against tipping or slipping.
  • Always place the air dehumidifier on a level and firm surface

WARNING! Tripping on drain hose!

Disconnect the drain hose from the air dehumidifier before transporting the device.

WARNING! Crushing, cut injuries due to reaching into grille for the air filter during transport!

  • Always use the carrying handles to transport the air dehumidifier.
  • Do not reach into the air filter on therear side of the air dehumidifier

CAUTION! Crushing or other physical damage when moving or transporting the air dehumidifier!

Always use the carrying handles to transport the air dehumidifier.
Avoid uncontrolled movements. Procedure:

  1. Notify obvious damage cases on delivery to the supplier.

  2. Check the delivery for completeness.

  3. Please contact your specialized dealer in case of any transport damage or incomplete delivery
    Note: Keep the packaging to ensure safe shipment of the air dehumidifier in case of any repair case. Otherwise remove the packaging material completely and dispose of according to the local regulations.

  4. Use the carrying handles to transport the air dehumidifier to the place of installation.

Installation

WARNING! Tripping on connected drain hose!

  • Route the drain hose outside the walking area.

  • Provide drain hose with safe and stable covers.
    CAUTION! Injuries due to loss of stability or uncontrolled movements of the air dehumidifier!

  • The air dehumidifier should be transported upright.

  • Always secure the air dehumidifier against tipping or uncontrolled rolling off.

  • Always place the air dehumidifier on a level and firm surface.

Procedure

  1. Install the air dehumidifier.
  2. Ensure that the condensate is always reliably collected or discharged.

Note: Free air circulation must be ensured. Do not cover the air openings. The free space in front of the air outlet and the air filter must be at least 1°m

Operating conditions

Do not immediately switch on the air dehumidifier after storing. The device needs some time to adapt to the room temperature, in particular in case of storing below 0°°C

Electrical connection

Check the following points prior to electrical connection of the air dehumidifier:

  • The mains voltage must be in conformity with the power supply values in the Specifications!
  • Fuse socket and supply system sufficiently.
  • Install a residual current circuit breaker in damp locations or on building sites!
  • The coupler of the air dehumidifier must be suitable for the building socket outlet.
  • The socket outlet used must be grounded. Connect power cable to power outlet.

Connect condensate drain hose

ATTENTION! Material damage / insufficient performance due to improper connection of condensate drain hose!

  • Do not bend the hose.
  • Do not place any objects on the hose.
  • Check regularly whether condensate is properly discharged.

Procedure:

  1. Attach condensate drain hose to pipe.
  2. Lay the hose from the air dehumidifier to an outlet (maximum height difference: 3 m).
Operation and operator control

Observe chapter 2 “Safety“.

Operating elements

Commissioning

Observe chapter 2 “Safety“.

Note: Before commissioning and after transport, allow the air dehumidifier to rest in its final position for about 15 minutes. During this time, the oil distributed in the cooling system and churned up by transport flows back into the compressor.

Procedure:

  1. Connect power cable to power outlet.
  2. Make sure that the drain hose has been installed correctly and laid securely into a drain.
  3. Switch air dehumidifier on.

Operator control

Procedure:

  1. Set the desired humidity via the arrow keys on the operating panel. The air dehumidifier will only start if the actual humidity is higher than the set value.
  2. Select fan setting.

Automatic defrosting:

During dehumidification ice may build up on the evaporator. If the evaporator ices, the air dehumidifier will defrost automatically. The message “Defrosting” appears on the display. After defrosting the air dehumidifier works again in the standard dehumidification mode.
