Setting into operation

Insert the power supply plug [12] into the mains socket.
Check that the "Full Tank" indicator [1] lamp has been turned off. If it continues to remain
illuminated, then the tank [9] is either full or has not been properly returned.
Switching on:
Set the moisture controller [2] at "MAX" (max. dehumidifying rate), indicator lamp [4]
lights on.
Switching off:
Turn the moisture controller [2] back to "0", indicator lamp turnes [4] off.
Explanatory remarks:
The moisture level is infinitely variable; the scale is purely for technical reasons. "0"
equals a relative humidity of approx. 95% (moist, sultry), and "MAX" a relative humidity
of approx. 30% (very dry).
It is advisable to hang up a hygrometer (available from appropriate stockists) in the room
to gain objective values rather than "sensed" values. Always hang up the hygrometer on
an inside wall, never on an outside wall.
When the desired humidity level has been achieved, slowly turn the moisture controller
[2] to the left anti-clockwise (i.e. in the direction of "0") until the appliance switches off.
The dehumidifier will then automatically maintain this value, i.e. it will automatically be
switched on again as soon as the humidity rises, and will continue to operate until the set
value is regained.
Automatic defrosting
If the room temperature drops down to the +5°C bottom limit of the dehumidifier's opera-
ting range, or even lower, the heat exchanger inside the appliance reaches the frost limit
of 0°C, i.e. existing moisture in the heat exchanger would freeze. This and any possible
damage, has been prevented by the incorporation of an automatic defroster.
Defrosting is automatically activated at a room temperature of +5°C, and the
corresponding lamp [3] lights up to indicate "automatic defrosting". The
dehumidifier is switched off and defrosting commences. this can take up to
15 minutes, after which the dehumidifier is automatically switched on again and the indi-
cator lamp is turned off.
