• Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
• R290 (propane) is extremely flammable and heavier than air. It first accumulates in low areas, but can be circulated by fans.
• If propane gas is present, or the presence is suspected, do not allow untrained persons to search for the cause.
• The propane gas used in this appliance is odourless.
• Therefore, gas may have leaked even without a noticeable odour.
• The components used are designed for propane gas and are therefore not ignitable and spark-free. Components may only be replaced by identical spare parts approved by the manufacturer.
• Note that the refrigerant may be odourless.
• Compliance with national gas regulations must be observed.
• Failure to comply with the safety instructions may result in an explosion, death, injury and property damage.

Intended use

• The dehumidifier is only intended for dehumidifying privately used rooms (e.g. for living rooms, bedrooms, storage rooms or cellars). The unit is not suitable for outdoor use. The user must comply with the specified operating parameters of these instructions.
• The machine may only be used in accordance with its intended purpose. Any other use beyond this is not in accordance with the intended use. The user/operator and not the manufacturer is liable for any damage or injuries of any kind resulting from such use.

Operating instructions

• The unit is designed for a temperature range between 5 and 38°C. Below 5°C, the humidity tends to be very low, so you do not need to use a dehumidifier. Above 38°C, the overheating protection may automatically switch off the unit. The unit is not approved for operation outside the temperature range.
• ENG-6 In order for the dehumidifier to dehumidify optimally, it warms the air. Therefore, the room temperature may rise by 1-2 degrees. This is quite normal and increases the efficiency of the unit.
• When the water tank is full, the machine switches off automatically.
