Comedes Dehumidifier ITR 90

WARNING: Read the instructions carefully before commissioning. Failure to comply with the safety notes and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety notes and instructions for future reference.

• Attention! Do not open the device until the mains plug has been removed from the mains socket. Danger to life due to electric shock! Have repairs carried out only by an authorized specialist workshop.
• Install the device only in rooms with an area larger than 20m².
• Do not install the device in a place where flammable gas can escape.
• The refrigerant used is the environmentally friendly R290. R290 has no harmful effect on the ozone layer (ODP), a negligible greenhouse effect (GWP) and is available worldwide.
