Electrical connections

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, check the following:
• The mains power supply must correspond to the power supply shown on the rating plate.
• The power socket and the electrical circuit must be adequate to bear the required load.
• The power socket must match the plug. If not, have the plug replaced by qualified personnel.
• The power socket must be adequately earthed.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for failure to comply with these safety regulations.
The appliance is manufactured in accordance with EEC Directive EN 55014 relative to the
suppression of radio interference.
Wait for an hour before switching the dehumidifier on after it has been transported.

Using the dehumidifier
1) Plug the appliance into the power socket. The pilot lamp lights to show that the appliance is
switched on.
2) Press the ON/OFF switch.
3) Check that the "Tank control system" pilot lamp is off (see the previous page).
4) Turn the humidistat knob in an anticlockwise direction to the CONTINUOUS position: the
dehumidifier pilot lamp will come on to signal that the appliance has started to work.
5) Choose the maximum or minimum fan speed (shown on the corresponding pilot lamp).
6) To switch off the appliance, turn the humidistat in an anticlockwise direction to the minimum setting.
To guarantee maximum life and efficiency, the appliance will only really begin dehumidifying
three minutes after being switched on, when the "pause" signal lamp goes off.
Some Users' Tips
Significant relative humidity values are shown on the humidistat. In particular, by positioning the knob
between 60° and 40° (or between 2 and 3) you will set the appliance up to guarantee that it will
automatically maintain comfortable conditions. For maximum comfort, we recommend selecting the
minimum fan speed. At first the dehumidifier will absorb large quantities of humidity and will continue
to do so until the relative humidity has been reduced. From this point onwards, the appliance will
absorb less humidity: this does not mean that the dehumidifier is not working properly but rather that
the humidity in the air has diminished and that the appliance will continue to maintain the desired level
of humidity efficiently. In cellars and basements, however, it will not be necessary to lower the level
of relative humidity very much, e.g. in order to conserve foodstuffs: regulate the humidistat to a setting
between 80% and 60% (or between 2 and 1). It is advisable to have the maximum fan speed in order
to get the room quickly to the desired level of humidity. In laundries and in all areas where you need
to reach the lowest levels of humidity quickly the maximum speed should be selected. Set the humidistat
between 40% and 20% (or between 3 and 5) relative humidity, or to CONTINUOUS setting if you want
the appliance to continue dehumidifying until a new setting is made.
