4.2 Function

The HighDry 300 building dryer removes moisture from the air through condensation.
The indoor air is taken in through the front side of the device and passes over a cold evaporator and a condenser. The air
cools down there, the humidity precipitates and is collected in the condensate container.
The dehumidified air is then slightly heated, exits at the front side of the device and is fed back into the indoor air. This
ensures constant circulation and dehumidification of the room air.
When the condensate container reaches the max. water level of approx. 7 l, the device switches to standby mode. This
is shown on the display; the condensate container must be emptied. To prevent the device switching off when the tank
is full, a drain hose can be fitted to the condensate container, through which condensed water can continuously drain
off into a floor drain. The drain hose and the floor drain must be routed/must lie at a lower level than the condensate
container.
Please note:
- The condensed water from the collecting container is not drinking water!
- To accelerate the air circulation, we recommend the use of ventilators.
- To accelerate air dehumidification, the room temperature needs to be high rather than low. Hot air holds
more moisture.

5. Commissioning/Assembly

5.1 Before commissioning

Faulty commissioning by unqualified personnel and failure to observe the operating manual!

5.2 Setting up

Position the device straight, upright and securely on firm and level ground. Make sure that the device is not in the way
and does not pose a tripping hazard together with hoses and cables.
It is imperative that you set up the device with the required minimum distances to walls or other obstacles: at least 100
cm at the front and 50 cm on all other sides.
To optimise the dehumidification performance, it is recommended to clear the room to the extent possi-
ble so that the air can circulate freely. If additional fans or blowers are used and the room temperature is
increased, the drying performance can be improved by up to 50 %.

5.2.1 Preconditions

- The device may only be used by qualified and authorised skilled personnel in compliance with the warning and
safety instructions.
- Before commissioning, check the devices and the power cable for intactness and signs of damage. In case of
damage, do not operate the device; contact the free Storch Service hotline on 0800 / 7867247.
- Before commissioning, check and if necessary clean or replace the air intake filter on the front side of the building
dryer.
- Always transport the device with an empty condensate container.
- Check the rear of the device to ensure that the air outlet openings are clean and unobstructed.
- Never tilt the HighDry 300 more than an angle of 45°.
To avoid serious damage to the compressor, always position the device upright after transporting so that
the refrigerant can completely run back into the compressor. An acclimatisation time of at least 12 hours is
recommended here. Only switch the device on after this.
