Cleaning the condensate tank
■
Empty out the condensate tank
A3
whenever you finish using the appliance and
wipe it using a wiping cloth.
■
To prevent undesirable bacteria, micro-organism or moulds from multiplying
inside the tank
A3
, clean it out at least once per month using a cloth dampened in
lukewarm water with the addition of neutral detergent. Then rinse it out thoroughly
using clean water, wipe it dry and insert it back into the appliance.
■
Do not wash the tank
A3
in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the air filter
■
Check an clean the air filter
A8
, which is located behind the protective grille
A7
at
least once every two week or, if necessary, more frequently when the appliance is
used every day.
■
Release the grille
A7
and then carefully remove the filter
A8
. Wash the filter
A8
in warm water with a small amount of kitchen detergent. Then thoroughly rinse
it under running water and allow it to dry naturally. Install the filter
A8
back in its
place. However, first make sure that the filter
A8
is completely dry. Then reattach
the grille
A7
.
Warning:
Do not use the appliance without the filter
A8
being properly
installed. Never wash the filter
A8
in a dishwasher.
Cleaning the outer cover and air outlet grilles
■
To clean the air outlet grille
A2
, the air inlet grille
A7
and the outer cover, use
a wiping cloth lightly dampened in lukewarm water with a small addition of neutral
detergent. Make sure that water does not enter into the vents. In the event that the
grilles are only dusty, a vacuum cleaner may be used to clean them.
Storage
■
When not using the appliance for an extended period of time, disconnect the power
plug from the power socket and clean it according to the instructions provided
above.
■
Clean the condensate tank
A3
only 24 hours after turning the appliance off since
even during this time a small amount of condensate may accumulate.
■
Wind the power cord around the holder.
■
Store the appliance in a dry, clean and well-ventilated location not exposed to
extreme temperatures and out of children‘s reach.

connected to a power socket.
Check that fuses are in order.
The dehumidifier reached the set humidity level or
the condensate tank
A3
is full.
The condensate tank
A3
is not correctly installed.
The dehumidifier is not
removing humidity from the
room.
The dehumidifier has only been running for
a short time, please wait a few more moments.
Make sure that there are no curtains, roller blinds
or furniture in front of the dehumidifier.
The humidity setting is insufficient.
Check that the doors, windows and other
openings in the room are properly closed.
The temperature in the room is too low
(below 5 °C).
There is an oil heater or other appliance located in
the room that may be creating humidity.
The dehumidifier is too noisy
while running.
The air filter is clogged.
The dehumidifier is tilted.
The floor is not level.
Frost is forming inside the
appliance.
The dehumidifier is equipped with an automatic
defrost function, which is activated when frost
starts to form.
There is water on the floor.
Check the hose for damage and that it is correctly
attached.
Disconnect the hose and use the condensate
tank
A3
to drain the condensate. Close outlet
A9
using a plug.
Button
B4
is flashing.
The humidity / temperature sensor is damaged.
Contact an authorised service centre.

1. Servicing instructions
1.1 Area check
Before starting work on a system containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are
necessary to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimized. When repairing a cooling
system, the following measures must be adhered to prior to performing any work.
1.2. Work procedure
Work must be performed following a controlled procedure so that the risk of
flammable gases or fumes being present during this time is minimised.
1.3 General work area
The whole maintenance crew and other personnel at the site must be informed about
the nature of the works being performed. Work in tight areas must be prevented. The
area around the work site must be divided into sections. It must be ensured that the
conditions inside the area are safe by means of inspections of flammable materials.
1.4 Check for presence of a refrigerant
The area must be checked using an appropriate detector for the presence of refrigerant
before and during work to ensure that technicians are aware of a potentially flammable
atmosphere. It must be ensured that the device used for the detection of leaks is
suitable for use on flammable refrigerants, i.e. non-sparking, appropriately sealed or
intrinsically safe.
1.5 Presence of a fire extinguisher
In the event that any work is performed on the cooling device or associated parts
under heat, then a suitable fire extinguisher must be on hand. In the vicinity of the
filling area, there must be a powder or CO
2
fire extinguisher.
1.6 No ignition sources
No person performing work related to the cooling system that encompasses the
uncovering of any pipes that contain or have contained flammable gasses may
use any ignition sources in a manner that could lead to a fire or explosion hazard.
All possible ignition sources, including the smoking of cigarettes should be kept at
a sufficient distance from the installation, repair, removal or disposal location, during
which flammable refrigerant could potentially be released into the surrounding
environment. Prior to starting work, the area around the appliance must be checked
to ensure that there are no fire hazards or ignition risks present. A „smoking forbidden“
sign must be installed.
1.7 Ventilated area
It must be ensured that the area is ventilated or appropriately ventilated prior to
penetrating the system or performing any work under heat. The intensity of ventilation
must continue for the time that works are performed. Ventilation should safely
dissipate any released refrigerant and draw it out into the atmosphere as a priority.
1.8 Cooling system checks
In places where electrical components are replaced, these components must be suitable
for this purpose and conform to correct specifications. The manufacturer‘s instructions
for maintenance and service must always be followed. If any doubts arise, it is
necessary to request help from the manufacturer‘s technical department.
On installations containing flammable refrigerants, it is necessary to perform the
following checks:
– the amount of refrigerant corresponds to the size of the room in which components
containing refrigerant are installed;
– ventilation systems and outlets are in full working order and are not clogged;
– if any indirect cooling circuit is used, the second circuit must be checked for the
presence of refrigerant;
– the markings on the appliance must remain constantly visible and legible, and
marking and signs that are illegible must be repaired;
– The cooling pipes and components are installed in locations where it is not probable
that they will be exposed to any substances that could corrode the parts containing
refrigerant, unless these components are built using materials that are inherently
resistant to corrosion or are appropriately protected against corrosion.
1.9 Electrical device check
The repair and maintenance of electrical components must include safety checks and
inspections of components.
In the event of a malfunction that could affect safety, no electrical power may be
connected to the circuit until the malfunction is satisfactorily resolved. In the event
that the malfunction cannot be immediately repaired but it is necessary to continue
running the appliance, an appropriate temporary solution must be used. The owner of
the appliance must be informed in such a way that all parties know about it.
The initial safety check must ensure:
■
that capacitors are discharged: this must be performed in a safe way to prevent the
possibility of sparking;
■
that no electrical components or wiring is uncovered during the process of filling,
draining or cleaning the system;
■
that the grounding is not interrupted.
2. Repair of sealed components
When repairing sealed components, all the electrical power supply must be disconnected
from the appliance on which work is being performed before sealed lids, etc. are removed.
When it is absolutely necessary to have live power supply going into the appliance while
servicing the appliance, it is necessary to install a permanent device in the most critical
point to detect leakage so that a dangerous situation is averted.
Special attention must be paid to ensuring that as a result of the work performed on
electrical components the cover is not changed to the extent of affecting the level of
protection. This must also include damage to cables, excessive number of connections
and terminals not performed according to original specifications, damaged gaskets,
incorrect configuration of plugs, etc.
It is necessary to ensure that the appliance is mounted safely.
