Troubleshooting

The units are manufactured 
using state-of-the-art production 
methods and tested several times 
to verify their correct function. 
However, if a functional fault 
should occur, the unit should first 
be checked in accordance with the 
following list.

The unit does not start

  Check the setting of 

the operating switch. The green 
indicator light should illuminate

  Check power supply 

220-240 V/1~/50 Hz

  Check the power plug and 

the cable for damage

  Check the customer-provided 

mains protection. 
Minimum protection 10A

  Check the level and correct 

positioning of the condensate 
container. 
The front sealing flap must be 
fully closed and locked

  Check the function of 

the microswitch

  Check the setting of 

the humidity switch 
(accessories).  
The pre-set value must be 
lower than the relative humidity 
in the room

  Check the humidity switch 

adapter for damage and correct 
positioning 

The unit runs but does not 
form any condensate

  Check the room temperature.

The operating range of the unit 
is between 3°C and 32°C 

  Check the air humidity, at least 

40 % RH is required

  Check the setting of 

the humidity switch, set a lower 
humidity value if necessary

  Check the dust filter for 

contamination and clean or 
replace if necessary

  Check the evaporator 

and condenser fins for 
contamination and clean if 
necessary 

  Check the evaporator for ice 

or rime formation. If ice has 
formed, check the functionality 
of the automatic defrost and 
the temperature sensor 

  Check whether or not 

the evaporator temperature is 
below room temperature. If this is 
not the case, check the automatic 
defrost or room temperature

The unit does not start

  Check whether or not the 

condensate container is inserted 
correctly and that the front 
sealing flap is locked

  Check whether or not mains 

power is available

CAUTION

Work on the refrigerant 
system and on the electrical 
equipment must only be 
conducted by a specially 
authorised specialist! 

CAUTION

An electrical safety check must 
be carried out in accordance 
with VDE 0701 after any work 
on the units.

4.  Clean the condenser fins by 

blowing, with suction or using a 
smooth brush. 

5.  Exercise extreme caution when 

cleaning the condenser. The fine 
aluminium fins bend very easily.

6.  Never subject to sharp jets of 

water (high-pressure cleaners).

7.  Clean the evaporator fins, for 

example with a lukewarm soap 
solution (or similar).

8.  Rinse with clean water to 

remove any remaining soap.

9.  Clean the internal surfaces of 

the entire unit as well as the fan 
blade.

10.  Once cleaning has been 

completed, the unit should be 
dried with care.  

Take particular care with 
electrical components!

11.  Re-install all dismantled 

components in reverse order. 

12.  Carry out a unit function check 

and electrical safety check. 

NOTE

If the unit fails to function 
correctly after the checks have 
been carried out, contact an 
authorised specialist.
