Note:
When the humidity level drops by 2 % below the desired value. The dehumidifier interrupts its operation. However, the ventilator will still run for 5 minutes to cool the dehumidification unit. Then it interrupts its operation. After 30 minutes, the dehumidifier checks whether the humidity has risen and, if so, resumes operation. If the humidity is still less or equal to the desired value, the dehumidifier will wait another 30 minutes.

WARNING:

The efficiency of the unit is influenced by the air quality in the room of operation. To get the best results when dehumidifying, do not open and close the windows and doors too often.
Use the dehumidifier in the designated operation temperature to ensure proper functionality of the dehumidifier. For safety reasons, dehumidification automatically stops and the fan function is launched instead if the ambient temperature rises above 36 °C.
When putting the unit in operation, the circulation of the coolant inside the appliance may produce noises. As the circulation stabilizes, the noise level decreases.
After switching off the dehumidifier, do not switch it on for at least 5 minutes. This prevents damage to the compressor.
For example, if there is a power failure, the compressor will not turn on immediately after the appliance turns on. For safety reasons, it does not switch on until 3 minutes later.
The appliance is intended for indoor use.
Do not place the dehumidifier opposite radiators or other heat sources.
