As with all electrical equipment, whilst the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as possible, caution and common sense should be applied when operating and installing this appliance. · This appliance is designed to dehumidify residential environments and must not be used for other purposes. · It is dangerous to modify or alter the characteristics of the appliance in any way. [. . . ] · The power socket must be adequately earthed. 15 ENGLISH Installation Inst ructions for fitting the wheels 1) Make sure the appliance is unplugged from the mains and the tank is empty 2) Remove the rubber caps from the base of the appliance by pulling them out, using pliers if necessary (see Figure 1/1). 3) Fit the wheels by inserting the shafts into the holes (see Figure 1/2) Note: When performing these operations, make sure the appliance is not tilted over 45°; in any case, after fitting the wheels, wait at least one hour before using the appliance again. Installation Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified: A free space of at least 50 cm must be left at the front of the humidifier, so as not to block the air outlet. A space of around 5-10 cm should be left at the rear of the appliance for aeration. 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. The tank can be easily removed and has a handle making it simple to carry and empty. 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. drill bit or removing the precut section by pressing with a screwdriver or similar (Fig. For models without drain hoses supplied, we suggest you purchase a rubber hose around 1 m long, with an internal diameter of 9. 5 mm. 3) The condensate drain hose must under no circumstances slope upwards, otherwise the water may 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). 4 NO YES 16 How to dehumidify Hygrometer/thermometer button Display Timer ON indicator light ON/OFF button Decrease humidity/hours button Max. power indicator light Power level button Increase humidity/hours button Dehumidifying indicator light Ventilation indicator light MODE button COMFORT button Timer button Comfort indicator light "ON/OFF" Starts the appliance. button "MODE" button Selects the "dehumidification" function or the "ventilation" function.

Hygrometer/thermometer Ti mer button button Displays, in sequence for 2 secs. , the ambient humidity, with a tolerance of +/- 5% (" " light flashing) and the ambient temperature, with a tolerance of +/- 1% ("°C" light flashing). Sets the number of appliance operating hours (maximum 24). Increase/decrease Di splay humidity/hours Adjusts the desired humidity level in 5% steps and sets the timer. Meaning of the codes that may be shown on the display: 1. Indicates that the appliance is operating in "COMFORT" mode. Indicates that the tank is not fitted, is full or is positioned incorrectly. In this mode, ventilation cycles are alternated with dehumidification cycles to avoid the formation of frost. For use in particularly cold environments, heating is recommended so as to raise the ambient temperature even by just a few degrees. This allows the dehumidifier to operate in conditions that improve its performance and accelerate the dehumidification process. Indicates that there may be a fault with the probes, or that the ambient humidity is low. "FN" 18 The indicator lights If on indicates that the display is showing the humidistat reading. If flashing, indicates that the display is showing, for 2 secs. , the ambient humidity (pressing the thermometer/hygrometer button). Temperature Ti indicator light SIf flashing, indicates that the display is showing, for 2 secs. , the ambient temperature (pressing the thermometer/hygrometer button, after the ambient humidity reading). mer indicator light If on indicates that the timer function is active. Dehumi Venti Mi Indi difying indicator light Indicates that the appliance is operating in dehumidification mode. lation indicator light Indicates that the appliance is operating in ventilation mode. nimum power indicator light Indicates that the MIN power level has been selected. cates that the MAX power level has been selected Indicates that the MAX power level has been selected. Comfort indicator light Indicates that the appliance is operating in comfort mode When this is on, all the other indicator lights are off, except for the timer indicator light, if the function is active. 19 ENGLISH Humi dity percentage indicator light Selecting the functions How to dehumidify (dehumidification only function) 1) Plug the appliance into a mains socket. 2) The display shows "- -" to indicate that the appliance is in standby and therefore ready for operation. [. . . ] If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and on appropriate plug fitted, as below. warning: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. [. . . ]
