Safety Instructions

 

 
Extensive  tests  have  been  conducted  on  the  material, 
functionality  and  quality  of  this  unit  before  it  was 
shipped. 

Hazards  may  nevertheless  arise  if  the  unit  is  used  by 
persons not familiar with its operation or if the unit is not 
used for its intended purpose! 

Please  also  make  sure  to  follow  these  safety  instruc-
tions. 

 

The  unit  may  not  be  set  up  or  operated  in  rooms 
susceptible to explosions. 

 

The unit may  not  be set  up and  operated  in rooms 
whose  atmosphere  is  contaminated  by  oil,  sulfur, 
chlorine or salt. 

 

The unit must be securely placed in an upright posi-
tion. 

 

The  unit  may  not  be  exposed  to  a  direct  stream  of 
water. 

 

The  air  intake  and  outlet  openings  may  never  be 
blocked. 

 

The air  intake side must always  be free of dirt and 
loose objects. 

 

Never insert foreign objects into the unit. 

 

The  unit  may  not  be  covered  or  transported  during 
operation. 

 

The  electrical  cables  outside  the  unit  must  be  pro-
tected from being damaged (e.g. by animals). 

 

Make  sure  that  extension  cables  are  suitable  in 
terms of capacity, length and intended use. 

 

The unit may only be transported in an upright posi-
tion,  the  condensation  tank  must  be  emptied  each 
time before the unit is moved. 

 

The  unit  may  not  be  operated  for  a  different  pur-
pose or other than as described in this manual

.

  

In cases of non-compliance, we assume no liability 
and the guarantee becomes null and void.

 

 

Work on the cooling system and the electrical sys-
tem may only be performed by authorised person-
nel!

 

Description of the Unit 

 
The  unit  has  been  designed  for  automatic,  universal, 
smooth  air  dehumidification.  Its  compact  dimensions 
make it easy to transport and set up. 

The  unit  works  on  the  principle  of  condensation.  It  is 
equipped with a closed-loop cooling system, a quiet fan 
requiring little maintenance and a power cord with plug. 

The unit has control lights on the control panel to check 

Unit setup locations 

The  unit  is  used  in  rooms  where  dry  air  is  a  priority  to 
avoid consequential financial losses (e.g. as a result of 
a buildup of mildew).

 

The unit is primarily used to dry and dehumidify: 

 

Living rooms, bedrooms, showers or basements. 

 

Kitchens, weekend houses, caravans. 

And to keep the following dry on an permanent basis: 

 

Storage areas, archives, laboratories. 

 

Bathing, washing, changing rooms, etc. 

Function

 

The unit works on the principle of condensation. 

The 

fan 

sucks the moist ambient air into the back of the 

unit  via the  air filter, the evaporator and the condenser 
located behind the evaporator. 

Heat is extracted from the ambient air at the cold 

evap-

orator

. The ambient air is cooled until it falls below the 

dew  point  and  the  water  vapour  contained  in  the  air 
turns into condensation or frost on the evaporator fins.

The  dehumidified, cooled  air  is reheated  in  the 

conden-

ser 

(heat-exchanger)  and  then  released  at  a  tempera-

ture  of  approximately  5  degrees  above  room  tempera-
ture. 

This air, which is now drier, is mixed again with the am-
bient air. The humidity of the air is gradually reduced to 
the desired relative humidity through the continuous cir-
culation of ambient air by the unit.
