This dehumidifier must be always connected using earthed electrical plugs as required for all electrical appliances ;
FRAL Company decline s any responsibility for any danger or damage whenever this norm is not complied with.
Any intervention on the machine using any instrument must be carried out only by a qualified technician.
When the machine is connected with a power socket, it must be in vertical position and any rough move must be
avoided because it could cause some water to come into contact with electrical parts; it is therefore recommended to
remove the plug from the socket before moving around the dehumidifier; if any water may h ave been spread on the
machine, following some rough handling of the same, then the dehumidifier must be turned off and can be started up
again only after 8 hours.
Correct Distance: this dehumidifier draws in the air from the back and lets out through the front side grille: therefore the
back panel, which supports the air filter, must be kept at a minimum distance of 15 cm from the wall.
The dehumidifier, moreover, must not be set running in narrow areas, which do not allow a proper diffusion in the room
of the air coming out from the grille. It is, instead, allowed to set the machine sides near the walls.
This dehumidifier has been designed
pointed instruments (screw driv ers, wool needles or similar ones) are not to be inserted in the grille or in the opening of
the back panel when it is opened to remove the filter.
The machine must not be cleaned using water. To clean the machine use a wet cloth. Remember to disconn ect the plug
from the socket before.
The front panel should not be used to lay over it cloths or other things: it could cause damages or dangers.
The filter should be cleaned periodically (normally every month ), but in dusty rooms it should be cleaned mor e often (see
chapter 7). Remember that when the filter is dirty, the air circulation and, consequently, the machine performance is
reduced.
2. PERTINENT TECHNICAL NORMS AND REGULATIONS
The dehumidifier has been designed and manufactured in conformity to all following European Norms and Regulations:
SECURITY REGULATIONS FOR LOW TENSION APPLIANCES 2006/95/CE - 12.12.2006;
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) – 2004/108/CE – 15.12.2004.
FUNCTIONING
This dehumidifier is a refrigerating cycle dehumidifier: its functioning is based on a physical principle according to which the air,
coming into contact with a coovoyant surface, it wets the surface by covering it with humidity in the form of condensed drops, or ice
with low ambient temperature. What really happens is that a refrigerating machine maintains in a refrigerated state the coil through
which is conveyed the incoming air that, in this way, is coovoyant and dehumidified. Then the air, passing through a warm heat -
exchanger, heats up and returns in the room dehumidified and at a slightly higher temperature.

With reference to the drawing (fig. 1), the air is drawn in through the back side of the dehumidifier, then it passes through the filter
(1), through the aluminium refrigerated coil or evaporator (2), again trough the heat- exchanger or condenser (3). Finally, the
motor fan (4) expels the air back into the room through the front grilvoyant panel: The condensed water is collected in the tank (5).
A micro -switch (6) stops the machine when the water in the tank reaches th e correct level by raising the water float lever. The
humidistat (7) starts the functioning of the dehumidifier when the humidity his higher than the preset level. An electronic circuit
(8) controls the defrosting and prevents the compressor (9) repeated starts within too short a time by delaying each new start.
