Safety Instructions

• Always ensure the power outlet is accessible for emergency disconnection.
• Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.
• The unit must be properly grounded and installed according to national electrical standards.
• Keep the appliance at least 50 cm away from flammable substances or heat sources.
• Do not use the device in laundry rooms or outdoors.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or authorized service personnel.

Installation and Setup

Place the unit in the room to be dehumidified, ensuring at least 50 cm of clearance in front for air outlet and 5-10 cm behind for ventilation. The unit can drain water into the internal tank or via a continuous drainage hose. If transporting the unit, empty the tank first and wait at least one hour before switching it on.

Operating Modes

• Dehumidification: Allows setting the desired humidity level (30% to 80%) and fan speed.
• Dry: Operates at maximum power for rapid dehumidification.
• Smart: Automatically adjusts settings based on ambient conditions.
• Ventilation: Circulates air without dehumidifying.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for efficiency. Clean the silver ion air filter weekly by vacuuming or rinsing with lukewarm water (max 40°C). Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinserting. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid solvents, alcohol, or insecticides.

Troubleshooting

If the unit fails to reduce humidity, check if the filter is clogged, the room is too large, or the target humidity is set too high. Error codes on the display indicate specific issues: F (tank full/missing), * (low temperature/defrosting), or PF (sensor fault/out of range). Always wait 3 minutes after restarting for safety systems to reset.
