Dehumidifier WDH-214US
Dear customer, you have chosen a high-quality product. Here are a few tips to
help you enjoy this product: After transportation: As the appliance works with
refrigerant, improper transportation can sometimes occur despite careful
instructions on the packaging. We therefore ask you to leave the appliance
upright for at least 4 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle properly in
the appliance. In case of any problems: We hope that the appliance meets your
expectations! Should there be any cause for complaint despite the greatest
possible care, please contact us briefly, as we are very concerned about your
satisfaction and would like to clear up any misunderstanding. During the first
operation: Attention: Please check that the sealing plug (for using the
collection container), which is located at the back of the appliance, is
screwed on tightly! Otherwise, water may leak out from underneath your
appliance. As the inner pipes come into contact with moisture for the first
time, it can take up to approx. 3 hours for liquid to collect in the
collection container, depending on the room humidity.

Start-up time / delay:
To protect the compressor, it does not switch on again immediately after the
appliance has stopped operating or there has been an interruption in operation
(e.g. emptying the condensation tank). The compressor is initially in a so-
called “protection mode” for approx. 3 minutes, in which only the fan runs
before the compressor switches on again.
Room humidity and dehumidification performance:
If you would like to check the room humidity and the associated
dehumidification performance with your own humidity meter (hygrometer), please
ensure that this humidity meter is not attached to a wall, as this will
falsify the true humidity content of the room air. See also the explanations
under Troubleshooting!

Important safety instructions for repairing an appliance with R290
refrigerant:
1. Check the surroundings
Before you start working on systems that contain flammable refrigerants,
safety checks are required to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized.
When repairing the refrigerant system, the following safety precautions must
be observed and complied with before any work is carried out on the system.
Procedure
The work must be carried out in a controlled manner to minimize the risk of
flammable gases or vapors being present during the execution of the work.
2. General work area
All maintenance personnel and other persons in the vicinity must be instructed
on the type of work to be carried out. Work in confined spaces must be
avoided. The area around the work area must be cordoned off. Ensure that the
conditions in the work area have been made safe by checking the flammable
material.
3. Check for the presence of refrigerants
The area must be checked with a suitable refrigerant detector before and
during the work to ensure that the technician is aware of possible flammable
atmospheres. Ensure that the refrigerant detector used is suitable for working
with flammable refrigerants, e.g. non-sparking, adequately sealed and
intrinsically safe.
4. Presence of a fire extinguisher
If hot work is to be carried out on the refrigerant equipment or associated
parts, suitable fire extinguishing equipment must be readily available. Ensure
that a dry powder fire extinguisher or a CO2 fire extinguisher is nearby.
5. No ignition sources
Persons carrying out work in connection with a refrigerant system which
involves exposure to pipework containing or having contained flammable
refrigerants must use ignition sources in such a way that they cannot cause a
fire or explosion hazard. All possible ignition sources, including cigarette
smoking, should be kept sufficiently away from the site of installation,
repair and disposal during which the flammable refrigerant may be released
into the surrounding area. Prior to work, the area around the equipment must
be inspected to ensure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks.
“No Smoking” signs must be posted.
6. Ventilated area
Ensure that the work area is outdoors or that it is sufficiently ventilated
before interfering with the system or carrying out hot work. Sufficient
ventilation must be ensured for the entire duration of the work to be carried
out. The ventilation should safely disperse any refrigerant released and
preferably discharge it externally into the atmosphere.
Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de
Email: info@aktobis.de
7. Testing the refrigerant equipment
If electrical components are replaced, they must be suitable for the purpose
and have the correct specification. The manufacturer’s guidelines for
maintenance and repair must be observed and followed at all times. If in
doubt, contact the manufacturer’s technical department for assistance. The
following tests must be applied to installations containing flammable
refrigerants:
– The filling quantity is in accordance with the room size within which the
parts containing refrigerant are installed;
– The ventilation equipment and the ventilation outlets are running properly
and are not blocked.
8. Testing of electrical devices
Before repairing and maintaining electrical components, preliminary safety
checks and inspections must be carried out on the components. If there is a
defect that could jeopardize safety, the appliance must not be connected to
the mains until the defect has been rectified. If the defect cannot be
repaired immediately but operation must continue, an adequate temporary
solution must be found. This must be reported to the owner of the equipment so
that all parties are informed. The preliminary safety checks must include
Capacitors must be discharged; this should be done in a safe manner to avoid
the possibility of sparking. No live components and wiring must be exposed
when filling, restoring or flushing the system. Continuity of the earth
connection.
9. Repairs to hermetically sealed components
During repair of hermetically sealed components, all power to the appliance
must be disconnected before removing sealed covers etc. If it is essential
that power is supplied to the appliance during maintenance, a permanent leak
detection system must be in place to warn of a potentially dangerous
situation. Particular attention must be paid to the following point to ensure
that when working on electrical components, the enclosure is not modified in
such a way that the degree of protection is impaired. This includes damage to
cables, an excessive number of connections, terminals that do not comply with
the original specification, damage to seals, improper fitting of sealing
screws, etc. Make sure that the appliance is securely mounted. Ensure that
seals or sealing material are not so worn that they no longer serve their
purpose to prevent the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts
must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
NOTE: The use of silicone sealants may hinder the effectiveness of some leak
detectors. Intrinsically safe components do not need to be sealed before
working on them.
10. Repair of intrinsically safe components
Do not apply a permanent inductive load or capacitive load to the circuit
without ensuring that this does not exceed the permissible voltage and current
for the equipment being used. Intrinsically safe components are the only types
that can be worked on while connected to the mains in the presence of a
flammable atmosphere. The test equipment must have the correct ratings.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts
may cause the refrigerant to ignite in the atmosphere due to a leak.

Email: info@aktobis.de
11. Cabling
Check that the cabling is not subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibrations, sharp edges or other harmful environmental effects. The test must
also take into account the effects of ageing or continuous vibration from
sources such as compressors or fans.
12. Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances should potential ignition sources be used when
searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks. A halogen searchlight (or any
other search device that uses naked flames) must not be used.
13. Leak detection methods
The following leak detection methods are considered acceptable for systems
containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors must be used to
detect flammable refrigerants, but their sensitivity may not be sufficient or
they may need to be recalibrated. (Detection equipment must be calibrated in a
refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the leak detector is not a potential
ignition source and that it is suitable for the refrigerant used. Leak
detection equipment must be set to a percentage of the lower explosion limit
and must be calibrated to the refrigerant used and the adequate percentage of
the gas (25% maximum) must be confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable
for use with most refrigerants, but the use of cleaning agents containing
chlorine must be avoided as chlorine can react with the refrigerant and
degrade the copper piping. If a leak is suspected, remove/extinguish all naked
flames. If a refrigerant leak is detected that requires brazing, all
refrigerant must be recovered from the cooling system or isolated (by shutting
off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Oxygen-free nitrogen
must then be flushed through the system before and during the brazing process.
14. Removal and emptying
If you are intervening in the refrigerant circuit to carry out repairs – or
for any other reason conventional methods must be used. However, it is
important that best practice is always followed, as flammability must be taken
into account. The following procedure should be followed:
– Remove the refrigerant – Flush the circuit with inert gas – Deflate – Flush
again with inert gas – Open the circuit by cutting or soldering
The refrigerant charge must be prepared in the correct preparation cylinders.
The system must be “purged” with oxygen-free nitrogen to keep the appliance
safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or
oxygen must not be used for this purpose. Purging can be achieved by
intervening in the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and
continuing to charge until the working pressure is reached and then releasing
to atmosphere and finally drawing into a vacuum. This process must be repeated
until there is no more refrigerant in the system. When the last filling with
oxygen-free nitrogen takes place, the system must be vented to atmospheric
pressure. This is absolutely necessary if soldering work has to be carried out
on the pipework. Make sure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not located
near sources of ignition and that ventilation is available.

15. Filling process
In addition to conventional filling processes, the following requirements must
be followed:
– Ensure that no contamination of the various refrigerants occurs when filling
the equipment. Hoses or cables must be as short as possible to minimize the
amount of refrigerant they contain.
– Cylinders must remain upright. – Ensure that the cooling system is earthed
before filling the system with refrigerant. – Mark the system when filling is
complete (if not already done). – Extreme care must be taken not to overfill
the cooling system. – Before refilling the system, the pressure must be tested
with oxygen-free nitrogen. The system
must be tested for leaks at the end of filling but before commissioning. A
check leakage test must be carried out before leaving the site.
16. Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is necessary that the technician is
fully familiar with the equipment and its details. It is a recommended
standard that all refrigerants are safely reconditioned. An oil and
refrigerant sample must be taken prior to the task to be carried out in case
analysis is required before the reclaimed refrigerant is reused. It is
necessary that electrical power is available before the task is started.
a) Familiarize yourself with the equipment and its operation. b) Disconnect
the system electrically. c) Make sure before you carry out the procedure;
– that mechanical handling equipment is available, if necessary, also for
handling refrigerant cylinders;
– that personal protective equipment is available and worn properly; – that
the reprocessing process is supervised by a competent person at all times; –
that the reprocessing equipment and cylinders comply with the applicable
standards.
d) Pump out the refrigerant system if possible. e) If a vacuum is not
possible, create a manifold so that the coolant can be removed from the
various parts of the system. f) Make sure that the cylinder is on the scales.
g) Start the treatment system and operate it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. h) Do not overfill the cylinders (no more than 80 % liquid
filling capacity) i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the
cylinder, not even temporarily. j) When the cylinders have been properly
filled and the process is complete, ensure that the
cylinders and equipment are immediately removed from site and that all shut-
off valves on the equipment are closed. k) Recycled refrigerant must not be
filled into other cooling systems unless it has been cleaned and tested.
17. Labeling
The equipment must be labeled to indicate that it has been decommissioned and
that the refrigerant has been drained. The marking must be dated and signed.
Ensure that there are markings on the equipment stating that the equipment
contains flammable refrigerant.

18. Reprocessing When removing refrigerant from a system, either for
maintenance or decommissioning, it is recommended as standard that all
refrigerant is safely removed. When transferring refrigerant to cylinders,
ensure that only suitable refrigerant recovery cylinders are used. Ensure that
the correct number of cylinders are available to hold the total amount of
refrigerant. All cylinders used must be suitable and marked for the
reconditioned refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for reconditioning
refrigerant). The cylinders must have a pressure relief valve and a connected
shut-off valve and be in good working condition. Empty reprocessing cylinders
must be emptied of air and, if possible, cooled before reprocessing. The
reprocessing plant must be in good working order with appropriate instructions
concerning the equipment and must be suitable for the reprocessing of
flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated scales in good
working order must be available. Hoses must be complete with leak-free and
proper disconnect couplings. Before using the reconditioner, check that it is
in good working order, that it has been properly maintained and that all
associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event
of a refrigerant leak. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer. The
reconditioned refrigerant must be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the
correct reconditioning cylinder and the appropriate disposal certificate must
be arranged. Do not mix refrigerant in remanufacturing units and especially
not in cylinders. If a compressor or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure
that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to ensure that no
flammable refrigerant remains in the lubricant. The evacuation process must be
carried out before returning the compressor to the supplier. Only electrical
heating of the compressor housing may be used to accelerate this process. When
draining oil from a system, this must be done in a safe manner. 19. Electrical
components Electrical components that can generate arcs or sparks and that are
not considered ignition sources due to compliance with 22.116.1 letters b),
c), d) or f) may only be replaced by parts specified by the appliance
manufacturer. Replacement with other parts may lead to ignition of the
refrigerant in the event of a leak.

4. Cleaning For safety reasons, make sure that the dehumidifier is
disconnected from the power supply before servicing or cleaning the appliance!
4.1. Cleaning the housing
a) Wipe the housing with a soft, clean cloth. b) If the dehumidifier is very
dirty, please use a mild cleaning agent and wipe off the cleaning agent with a
half-dried cloth. c) Do not wash the appliance with a hose, otherwise
electricity may escape. 4.2. Cleaning the air filter The air filter filters
lint, hair and coarse dust. The air filter is coated with an antibacterial
glaze to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The air filter also ensures that less
dust is deposited on the cooling fins, thus guaranteeing greater efficiency.
Always clean the filter if it can be assumed that the air intake is reduced by
the dirty air filter! 4.3. Steps for cleaning: a) Release the filter by
pulling it out of its holder.
b) It is best to clean the air filter carefully under lukewarm water or with a

Troubleshooting:
The appliance does not dehumidify enough / Too little water collects in the condensation tank
Please remember that the primary aim is not to extract as much condensation water as possible, but to dry the room air or ceilings, walls and inventory and/or keep them dry!
Please also bear in mind that the dehumidifier can only remove moisture from the air and only indirectly from materials. Depending on the condition of the ceilings, walls and furnishings, it can take several weeks for them to release the stored moisture back into the air! For this reason, we also recommend that if you use your own humidity meter (hygrometer), you place it as freely as possible and at some distance from walls and ceilings, as otherwise the humidity value determined in the room air will be falsified!
As with all dehumidifiers, the dehumidification performance is decisively influenced by the following factors:
A) Humidity content of the room air and B) Heat/Temperature in the room.
To be on the safe side, here is an excerpt from the dehumidification table at DAUERBETRIEB:
32 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 15 liters 30 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx.
14 liters 20 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 7 liters 15 degrees and 80% r.h. =
approx. 6 liters 10 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 5 liters
5 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 3 liters
at 90% r.h. = approx. 16 liters at 90% r.h. = approx. 15 liters at 90% r.h. = approx. 8 liters at 90% r.h. = approx. 7 liters at 90% r.h. = approx. 6 liters at 90% r.h. = approx. 5 liters
at 60% r.h.= approx. 8 liters at 60% r.h. = approx. 7 liters at 60% r.h. = approx. 5 liters at 60% r.h. = approx. 4 liters at 60% r.h. = approx. 3 liters at 60% r.h. = approx. 2 liters
All figures are approximate per day (fluctuation tolerance) when measured directly at the appliance inlet and of course these values only apply if the temperature and humidity content remain constant!
Despite the hose connection, most of the water runs into the condensation tank
Check that the condensation hose has a gradient and is neither kinked nor blocked. Also check that the dehumidifier is standing level and that the castors are not necessarily in the joints on a tiled floor.
