Before starting up

Did you transport the air dehumidifier in horizontal position or
at an angle large than 45°?
Allow the device to stand in vertical position for at least
one hour.
Notes
1. The air dehumidifier will not work if the set humidity value
is higher than that of the environment.
2. Only use the air dehumidifier at a room temperature
between 5 °C and 32 °C. The air dehumidifier will not
function out of this range.
3. Do not operate the air dehumidifier in heavily dust-laden
or chloric atmospheres.
4. Once the compressor has been started the fan motor and
the compressor must run for at least 3 minutes during
dehumidification. To prevent damages to the compressor,
you should wait for 3 minutes after a shut-down of the air
dehumidifier before you restart the device.
5. If the room temperature is under 10 °C and the relative
humidity of the ambient air is rather low an operation of
the air dehumidifier will not be necessary.
6. The device's air dehumidification performance depends on
room design, room temperature and relative humidity of
the room air.
7. Drain the container when it is full. Then, reinsert the empty
water container so that the device can work again.
8. Tranport this device only in upright (vertical) position.
9. If the device does not work or if the operation is suddenly
interrupted for unknown reasons,
10. When the air dehumidifier is in operation the compressor
generates waste heat and the room temperature slightly
increases. This is considered a normal process.

Fault code
If the fault codes E3 – E4 – E5 are indicated in the "RH
display" see "Possible faults".

Start-up

An acoustic signal will sound if you connect the power
cable to an electrical socket.
A fault has occurred when this acoustic signal does not
sound. Check the power supply cable, the electrical
socket and the fuse.

Powering up

Press the button to switch on the power to the air
dehumidifier.
The display 2 "RH of air" indicates the factory-set humidity
of air of 60 %. After 5 seconds the display indicates the actual
humidity of air.
The "RH" display indicates the humidity of air in a range
between 30 % and 90 %.

Shutting down

Press the button again to switch off the power to the air
dehumidifier.
Setting the humidity value
Press the button (Increase the RH setting) or
(Reduce the RH setting) to set your desired relative humidity
of air.
If the set RH value is lower than 30 %, the device will
continuously dehumidify and the indicator 2 displays "CO".
Hint: Normally, a relative humidity of air between 50 %
and 60 % is sufficient to have a convenient indoor
climate and to prevent condensation on structural
components and furnishing.
If your desired RH value is lower than the actual RH by
3 %, the air dehumidifier will automatically start
(compressor). The

If your desired RH value exceeds the actual RH by 3 %,
the air dehumidifier will automatically shut down
