• Store the device in a room where there are no permanent fire (e.g. operating gas equipment) and ignition sources (e.g. operating electric heater).
• Store the device in a way that prevents mechanical damage.
• Do not pierce or expose to fire.
• Any person involved in servicing or working on a refrigerant circuit should have a current valid certificate issued by an accredited organisation that confirms their qualifications regarding the safe handling of refrigerants according to requirements. Servicing works must be performed only according to the device manufacturer’s guidelines.
• Maintenance or repair works that require the assistance of other trained personnel should be performed under the supervision of a person competent in the use of flammable refrigerants.
• Before performing any works on circuits containing flammable refrigerants, it is essential to perform a safety inspection to minimise ignition risks. Works should be performed according to a control procedure to minimise the risk of flammable gas or vapours being present during the works. All maintenance personnel and other persons working in the vicinity must be instructed in the nature of the work. Avoid working in confined spaces. Isolate the area around the workplace. Ensure that the area has been inspected by means of the control of flammable materials.
• Refrigerant may be odorless.

4. Adjustment of the target humidity level: set the target air-humidity level using the + and ­ buttons (1f ): 35%-80% (at 5% increments) or the continuous-operation (CO) mode.
5. Thermometer: to check the temperature, press the temperature button (1e). The temperature will appear on the display. After a while, or when you again press the temperature button (1e), the display will show the humidity level.
6. Full-tank indicator: if the tank is full of water, the dehumidifier will terminate the drying process and generate a signal tone, and the full tank icon (1h) will light up on the panel.
7. TimerDelayed-start function: press the timer button (1d) while the unit is connected to the power supply. Each time you press the button, the set-time period will advance by one hour. The unit will switch on at the end of the set time period. The display will show the time remaining for the activation. To change the set time period, press the timer button (1d). The time indicator on the display will start flashing. While the time indicator is flashing, the set time period will advance each time you press the timer button (1d) ­ stop at the desired time – until 24 hours is reached, and then it will return to zero. To deactivate the timer, set the time to 0.Shutdown timer: press the timer button (1d) while the unit is on. Each time you press the button, the set time period will advance by one hour. The unit will switch off at the end of the set time period. After you set the timer, the display will show for a while the time remaining to the shutdown, and then it will change to the humidity level. To check how much time remains to the shutdown, press the timer button (1d) again.
8. Continuous water drainageTo facilitate the continuous water drainage’s bypassing the water tank, insert the continuous-drainage tube (7) into the water outlet (6) and the other end of the tube into the drainage outlet.
9. Automatic defrosting: if the unit’s components are frosted, the dehumidifier will automatically switch into the defrost mode. The fan will remain on, and the compressor will switch off. Once the components have been defrosted, the dehumidifier will automatically return to the normal operating mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before you start cleaning the product, ensure that it has been disconnected from the power supply and has fully cooled down.Keep the inlet and outlet openings free of dust. Clean the outer surface of the unit with a slightly damp cloth, and then wipe it dry.The water tank should be cleaned on a regular basis with a sponge and dishwashing liquid, then rinsed and wiped dry, again with the sponge.Clean the air filter on a regular basis. To do this, remove the air-intake grille and remove the filter. Clean the filter. The filter should be replaced every 3-4 months (depending on the water hardness).Recommended air filter: the Blaupunkt ACC032. Do not activate the unit without an air filter.
