General safety rules

•  Read the following instruction manual.

•  Keep this always this manual with the dehumidifier for future 

reference.

•  This dehumidifier is NOT intended for people, children included, 

with limited physical or mental capabilities or without enough 

experience concerning the use of it.

•  Keep it away from children and animals.

•  This dehumidifier SHOULD not operate in rooms where a danger 

of explosion exists.

•  Do NOT use this dehumidifier in environments with air contain-

ing oil, sulphur or chlorine.

•  Keep always the inlet and outlet air grids free (10 centimeters at 

least).

•  The appliance must always operate in a vertical position with the 

wheels turned downwards.

•  The room where the dehumidifier works must  be closed.

•  Do NOT move the dehumidifier when working.

•  Before moving the dehumidifier switch it off and empty the con-

densate tank.

•  Do NOT put any tool inside the unit.

•  Make sure that the power supply voltage corresponds to that 

indicated in Tab.D, that the electrical installations comply with the 

regulations in force and are properly protected.

•  Do NOT use the dehumidifier in different ways other then the 

one described in this manual. Any other use must be considered 

potentially dangerous.

WARNING: any maintenance on the refrigerating or 

electric circuit must be made ony by experienced and 

qualified staff.

Introduction

The appliances of the KRG series are air dehumidifiers that remove the 

humidity from the environment. They are equipped with a refrigerat-

ing circuit and the new electronic control performs all the functions 

included automatic start and stop and defrosting cycle if necessary. 

Operating principle (C)

The appliance uses a fan C4 to suck up the air C1 to be dehumidified 

and pass it through the refrigerator circuit evaporator C2.  In this way 

the temperature of the air is lowered to below its dew point and the 

vapor condenses to form drops of water that are collected in the ap-

propriate tank C5.

!

WARNING: The water collected inside the tank IS 

NOT drinkable. Do NOT drink this water anyway.

The air thus dehumidified is passed through the condenser C3 that 

raises its temperature slightly higher than the initial value.  In this way 

the quantity of humidity contained in the environmental air is gradu-

ally decreased until it reaches the desired value.

S

The dehumidifier reduces the humidity of the walls 

and floor of the room, as well as of the materials 

contained therein.

The defrosting cycle (C)

If the temperature goes below 16°C ice may form on the evaporator 

C2. The ice must be regularly melted to avoid it reduces the air passage. 

The electronic board automatically performs the defrosting cycle (see 

ahead). During the defrosting cycle the fan C4 stops. The time it takes 

to melt the ice changes with the humidity and temperature.

Condensate collecting tank

KRG 160 HE

Inside the tank there is the floating device that stops the dehumidi-

fier when is full: this device works even with the continuous drainage 

installed (see ahead).

How to empty the tank (G)

Take out the tank. Use the sliding open G1 on the top of the tank to 

flow the water out. Finally put the tank back into his place.

Continuous drainage (H)

The tank is ready to fit the continuous drainage. The installation is very 

simple and then you will not need to empty the tank manually any-

more. To install the continuous drainage follow these instructions:

•  remove the rubber stopper H1 from the tank;

•  connect a rubber hose, with an internal diameter of 12 millime-

ters, to the connector on the tank and pass it through the hole H2 

on the side panel;

•  put the tank back into his place.

!

ATTENTION: to guarantee regular drainage of the 

water, make sure that the drainpipe has a slope and 

is straight, without any bends or constrictions.

S

With the continuous drainage installed the floating 

device inside the tank is still active and will stop the 

dehumidifier if a fault in the drainage occurs and the 

water level inside the tank rises.
