• Unwind the cord completely. An incompletely unwound cord can lead to
overheating and cause a fire.
• Do not use an extension cord, a multiway connector, or a continuously ad-
justable speed controller. This can cause overheating, fire, or electric shock.
• Connect the dehumidifier only to a single-phase socket with the supply
voltage as stated on the type plate.
• Always switch the dehumidifier off with the power key and always dis-
connect the plug from the power socket when the dehumidifier is not in
use, or when it is moved, handled or cleaned. Do not tug at the cord to
disconnect the plug. Do not disconnect the plug when the dehumidifier
is running. Always first switch the dehumidifier off with the power key.
• The dehumidifier functions optimally at a room temperature of between
13 °C and 35 °C. The specified dehumidifying performance is only achiev-
able in the higher temperature range (from 22 °C) and with higher room
humidity (from 70 %). The lowest recommended operating temperature is
10 °C. In case of lower temperatures, the DEFROST mode is activated too
frequently. The highest operating temperature is 40 °C and the relative
humidity is 90 %.
• Do not use the dehumidifier anywhere near easily inflammable gases or
substances, near an open fire, or at a location where oil and water could
splash. Do not spray insecticides or similar substances onto the dehumidi-
fier. Make sure that the dehumidifier is not exposed to direct sunlight. Do
not use the dehumidifier in a hothouse or near a bathtub, shower or swim-
ming pool. Do not put any hot or heavy objects on the dehumidifier.
• The air intake and air outflow vents must always be kept open during de-
humidification. Make sure that no objects can get into the air intake or air
outflow vents. This can lead to overheating, fire or electric shock. The de-
humidifier must not be installed behind curtains, drapes or other objects
and obstacles that could impair the air circulation. A safety distance of at
least 50 cm from other objects must be maintained. In addition, a safety
distance of at least 60 cm from wet areas such as showers, washbasins,
sinks, bathtubs etc. must be maintained. A safety distance of 120 cm from
the water supply, e.g. a water tap, is necessary.
• When operating to dry clothes keep the clothing at least 50 cm away from
the unit and do not allow water to drip onto the unit.
• Do not remove the water tank while the dehumidifier is running. Drops of
remaining water could damage furniture and floor-coverings.
• Wait for 3 – 5 minutes after switching the dehumidifier off before you
switch it back on again.
• Do not immerse the dehumidifier into water or any other liquids and do
not pour water or any other liquids onto the appliance or into the air intake
and air outflow vents.
• Clean the dehumidifier regularly, following the cleaning instructions.
• Always transport the dehumidifier in an upright position. Before using
the dehumidifier for the first time, leave it standing in an upright position
for 24 hours. Always stand the dehumidifier in an upright position imme-
diately after transporting the appliance, and wait for at least 60 minutes
before switching it back on. The water tank must be emptied every time
before transport.
• The dehumidifier must always be operated according to this instruction
manual. Non-observance of these instructions can lead to injuries, a fire,
electric shock or faults in the appliance.
