1. Check external fuses
2. Check that the power supply to the units is correct
3. Check that the switch on the side is ON
4. Check the built-in hygrostat by setting it on a lower relative humidity. This is done by turning the hygrostat
knob clockwise. If the unit does not start, check the built-in hygrostat for faults.
The unit was switched off automatically. If it starts after 44 minutes, but switches off again shortly
afterwards, check the following:
5. Check that the fan is running when the unit starts after 44 minutes
6. Check whether the condensor coil is dirty
7. Check whether the filter is dirty
8. Check whether the room temperature is above 30ºC. If the unit has not been switched off automatically at a
room temperature above 30°C, it should be switched off.
9. Check that the air inlet on the front and the air outlet through the grill on the sides are not blocked.
The evaporator coil has iced up and the unit does not separate water
10. Check whether the room temperature is below 3°C. If so, and the unit has not automatically been switched
off, it should be switched off.
11. Check that the air inlet on the front and the air outlet through the grill on the sides are not blocked.
The LED on the front panel lights up in red and the water tank is empty
