[. . . ] Just warming the air means that you keep the moisture suspended in the air as vapour, but when the temperature drops, the water vapour forms condensation again. However, heating combined with dehumidification (as in the combined mode) especially at low temperatures- e. g. It changes condensation into water vapour , which can then be collected by the dehumidifier, in a fast an effective way. Dehumidifiers are the only real answer to controlling condensation and damp in the home. 13 ENGLISH Ai GB 8-08-2002 14:40 Pagina 14 Introduction s new dehumidifier is a combined function appliance (dehumidifying and heating) able to quickly and efficiently reduce the relative humidity in a room. [. . . ] Before plugging the appliance into the power socket, check that: · The mains power supply corresponds to the power supply indicated on the rating plate. · The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced by a qualified electrician; · The power socket must be adequately earthed; Failure to respect this safety rule absolves the manufacturer from all liability. This appliance is manufactured in compliance with EEC standard EN 55014 on the suppression of radio interference. 16 GB 8-08-2002 14:40 Pagina 17 Installation ace the dehumidifier in a suitable position, a hallway or landing are generally good sites. 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 (collected water) 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. The tank can be easily removed and has a handle making it simple to carry and empty. Pl 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. You will need it to plug the hose or close the spout if you revert to draining into the tank (see point A). fig. 3 17 ENGLISH GB 8-08-2002 14:40 Pagina 18 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 Mode selector Air circulation Heating mode Heating indicator light Combined dehumidifying / heating mode to heat and dehumidify simultaneously Minimum indicator light Speed/Heat setting selection button Maximum indicator light Turbo Power function Thermostat knob Humidistat knob Power indicator light indicates that the appliance is connected to the mains DE330 shown Please note: DE320 does not have turbo power function and the "combi setting" on the mode selector is on the right-hand side. 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. A red indicator light on the control panel comes on to warn the user when: 1. in continuous drain: the hose is obstructed or the difference in level is too great remove the obstruction. Once the cause has been eliminated, the light goes out and the appliance resumes operation. 18 GB 8-08-2002 14:40 Pagina 19 Indicator lights Dehumi dification standby/low temperature operation light 1) To signal a delay of around 3 minutes on start-up of the appliance. When the room temperature is too low, the electronic low temperature operation device is activated. This device makes the appliance operate by alternating dehumidification cycles and fan only cycles, this it to avoid the formation of frost. For frequent use in cold environments, it is recommended to heat the room at the same time. This allows the dehumidifier to operate in conditions that ensure better performance and faster dehumidification. Power indicator light Indicates that the appliance is connected to the mains. Dehumi Heati dification indicator light This switches on when the machine is dehumidifying. The light remains on only when the appliance is effectively dehumidifying; if the humidity in the room is already low enough, the light will be off. ng indicator light The light switches on both in heating and in the combi function when the room temperature is lower than the one set on the thermostat. When the room temperature is higher than the set one, the heating light is off. [. . . ] After washing the filter, allow to dry completely before putting it back in the appliance. If the appliance is not used for long periods · Unplug from the mains socket and empty the tank. · Protect the appliance from dust by covering with a large plastic bag. fig. 4 21 ENGLISH GB 8-08-2002 14:40 Pagina 22 Tr o u b l e s h o o t i n g Check the following points before calling your local Technical Service Centre. Problem The appliance does not work in dehumidifying mode (indicator light off) Cause ·the appliance is not plugged in ·there is no current ·the humidistat is on minimum ·the tank is full of water ·the tank is incorrectly positioned ·filter clogged ·the temperature or humidity of the home is too low Remedy ·plug into the mains ·check the power supply ·set the humidistat to the max or continuous position ·empty the tank ·gently place the tank in the correct position ·clean the filter ·in certain conditions, it is normal for the appliance not to dehumidify. In these conditions we suggest you to heat the room to be dehumidified ·switch the appliance off, wait 30 minutes then turn on again. [. . . ]
