disconnect the plug when the dehumidifier is running. Always
first switch the dehumidifier off with the power key (2).
8. The dehumidifier functions optimally at a room temperature of
between 13°C and 35°C. Optimal dehumidifying performance is
only achievable in the higher temperature range (from 22°C) and
with higher room humidity (from 70%).
9. Do not use the dehumidifier anywhere near easily inflammable
gases or substances, near an open fire, or at a location where
oil and water could splash. Do not spray insecticides or
similar substances onto the dehumidifier. Make sure that the
dehumidifier is not exposed to direct sunlight. Do not use
the dehumidifier in a hothouse or near a bathtub, shower or
swimming-pool. Do not put any hot or heavy objects on the
dehumidifier.
10. The air intake and air outflow vents (9+10) must always be kept
open during dehumidification. Make sure that no objects can get
into the air intake or air outflow vents (9+10) . This can lead to
overheating, fire or electric shock. The dehumidifier must not be
installed behind curtains, drapes or other objects and obstacles
which could impair the air circulation. A safety distance of at
least 50 cm from other objects must be maintained. In addition,
a safety distance of at least 60 cm from wet areas such as
showers, washbasins, sinks, bathtubs etc. must be maintained.
A safety distance of 120 cm from the water supply, e.g. a water
tap, is necessary.

11. Do not remove the water tank (15) while the dehumidifier is
running. Water can damage furniture and floor-coverings and
cause an electric shock.
12. Wait for 3 - 5 minutes after switching the dehumidifier off
before you switch it back on again.
13. Do not dip the dehumidifier into water or any other liquids and
do not pour water or any other liquids onto the appliance or into
the air intake and air outflow vents (9+10).
14. Clean the dehumidifier regularly, following the cleaning
instructions.
15. Always transport the dehumidifier in an upright position. Before
using the dehumidifier for the first time, leave it standing in an
upright position for 24 hours. Always stand the dehumidifier
in an upright position immediately after transporting the
appliance, and wait for at least 60 minutes before switching it
back on. The water tank (15) must be emptied every time before
transport.
16. The dehumidifier must always be operated according to this
instruction manual. Non-observance of these instructions can
lead to injuries, a fire, electric shock or faults in the appliance.
17. The dehumidifier is designed for private use indoors and is not
intended for commercial use.
18. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
19. Do not use the dehumidifier if it is faulty or could show signs of
damage, or if it is not functioning correctly. Disconnect the plug
from the power socket.

1. Please read through all the instructions before starting to use
the dehumidifier.
2. Unpack the dehumidifier. Remove all the packaging materials
and dispose of them for recycling.
3. Place the dehumidifier on a firm, even, waterproof surface.
Water can damage furniture and floor coverings and lead to fire
or electric shock. Make sure the dehumidifier is standing securely
so that it cannot tip over or fall down. Observe the safety
distances as given in Point 10 of "Important safety instructions".

WATER DRAINAGE

The dehumidifier provides two ways of emptying the water. PLEASE
NOTE: Do not reuse the collected distilled water.
WATER TANK, 2.9 LITERS
1. When the water tank (15) is full, the control lamp (7) flashes.
The dehumidifying operation is stopped automatically.
2. Wait for about 30 minutes before removing the water tank
(15), so that the remaining water can drip down into it.
Hence do not remove the water tank when the dehumidifier
is in use or has just been switched off.
3. Take hold of the two cavities on the sides of the water tank
(15) and pull it out carefully with both hands. "P2" appears
on the display (5).
4. Empty the water only on the side opposite the swimmer (19).
5. Now push the water tank (15) back into its original position
with both hands until you hear it click into place. The control
lamp (7) goes off. The relative humidity appears on the
display (5).
6. If the control lamp (7) does not go off, pull the water tank
(15) out again.
7. Check that the swimmer (19) is correctly installed. The
swimmer must not be removed, because otherwise the
automatic interruption of the dehumidifying operation is
not guaranteed. Overflowing water can damage objects and
floor coverings or cause an electric shock.
8. Now replace the water tank (15) as described under Point 5.
CONTINUOUS WATER DRAINAGE
If you wish to install continuous water drainage, please proceed
as follows. Please note: The dehumidifying operation is not
interrupted in this kind of water drainage.
1. Make sure that the dehumidifier is switched off. Disconnect
the power plug from the power socket.

3. Remove the water tank (15). Push the water tube (inside
diameter 16mm) through the opening (16) and push it
in. Press the water tube firmly onto the water connection
(17) in the appliance. Make sure that the water tube is
firmly fixed to the water connections and cannot become
detached. (Fig. 2)
4. Put the water tube directly into a water drain. Check that
the pipe is sloping downwards throughout its length, and is
not buckled, knotted or blocked, so that the water can drain
off freely. Check the safe and leakproof position of the water
tube regularly.
5. Push the water tank (15) with both hands into its original
position until you hear it click into place.
