[. . . ] = 2. 5 l 2. 5 l of water eliminated 5l 2, 5 l There is another way to decrease the relative humidity level. Increasing the temperature is equivalent to increasing the capacity of the container. When the air is at a temperature of 20°C, it is the equivalent of a 10 litre container, while at 30°C it is the equivalent of a 20 litre container. = 5 l no water eliminated 5l 5l Of course, just increasing the room temperature is not the solution to your excess moisture/condensation problem.

The appliance must be positioned so that the air intake and air outlet grills are at least 50 cm away from any wall or obstacle to ensure adequate ventilation. Condensate can be drained in one of two ways: A) Draining into the tank The condensate can be drained directly into the tank located inside the appliance (fig. 1). The tank can be easily removed and has a handle making it simple to carry and empty. fig. 1 B) Continuous external draining If the appliance is to be operated for long periods of time but you are unable to empty the tank, you are recommended to use the continuous drain facility. 2) Make a hole in the tank inside the spout using a fine drill bit (8mm) (Fig. 3) To fit the rubber hose to the spout, open the door, remove the tank, pass the drain hose provided through the space between the door (at a slight angle) and the bottom of the appliance, reposition the tank and fit the hose onto the spout (Fig. 5) Make sure the hose is on the level otherwise the water will remain in the tank. N. B. : Keep the rubber bung. You will need it to plug the hose or close the spout if you revert to draining into the tank (see point A). fig. 2 fig. 3 6 De s c r i p t i o n o f c o n t r o l s Dehumidifying mode OFF position: appliance off Dehumidifying indicator light Combined dehumidifying / heating mode to heat and dehumidify simultaneously Heating indicator light Air circulation Heating mode Minimum indicator light Speed/Heat setting selection button Maximum indicator light Thermostat knob Power indicator light indicates that the appliance is connected to the mains Humidistat knob Dehumidifying standby light lights up for the first three minutes in dehumidifying mode "Tank full / no tank" indicator light Tank control system This dehumidifier is fitted with a special intelligent device to ensure correct operation. [. . . ] If the set temperature is higher than the room temperature, the ( )light comes on together with the dehumidification pause light ( ) for the first three minutes (safety device), followed by the dehumidification light ( ). 6) Select maximum or minimum fan speed (and consequently the electrical power). 7) When you have reached the desired humidity, slowly turn back the humidistat knob anticlockwise until the dehumidifying light and the heating light if still on, go out. Note: The appliance only stops completely when the level of humidity set is reached. [. . . ]
