Safety instructions

Follow these safety instructions carefully. Failure to comply could result in serious health hazards, property damage or environmental damage.

⚠️ Warning!

This dehumidifier should only be used to dehumidify atmospheric air. Any other use is considered improper use. Any liability for damage resulting from this is excluded.
Never use the dehumidifier near flammable materials such as alcohol, insecticides, gasoline, gas, oxygen, etc.

A damaged power cord can be dangerous and cause a short circuit or fire. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a service technician or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. The device must be connected to an earthed socket.

  1. Install the dehumidifier in a stable position on a solid surface.

  4. Do not use an extension cord and do not place the power cord under carpets or rugs (risk of overheating and fire).
  5. Only use the dehumidifier in ambient temperatures between –15°C and 40°C.
  6. Do not insert objects into the openings of the dehumidifier.
  7. Do not place anything on top of the dehumidifier or cover it during use.
  8. Do not unplug the power cord without turning off the dehumidifier as this may damage the internal components.
  9. Always unplug the dehumidifier when it is not in use or when it is to be moved.
  10. Supervision is necessary when the dehumidifier is used by or near children and pets.

Working principle

Air is sucked in via a filter by a centrifugal fan.
The pressurized air passes through a sorption rotor where moisture is absorbed, and dry air is blown out of the main outlet.
The rotor rotates slowly through a heated zone, where the moisture evaporates and is blown out as wet air. The rotor is then ready for new moisture absorption.


Installation

Placement on floor or shelf
Place the dehumidifier on a flat and stable surface, such as a shelf.
Swing out the feet and screw them in so that the dehumidifier cannot move.

Wall or ceiling mounting
Swing out the four feet at the bottom of the dehumidifier and secure the dehumidifier sufficiently.
This dehumidifier can be hung on the wall or ceiling if desired.

Installation of control panel
Screw the wall bracket in place with two suitable screws. Hook the control panel over the wall bracket, ensuring that it is sufficiently secure.

⚠️ Warning!

It is important that the humid air is directed downwards to avoid condensation returning into the machine.

Use of pipes

A) Place the dehumidifier in the room to be dehumidified
Extract humid air from one end of the room.
Dry air should be directed to specific areas away from where dry air is blown out, using pipes/hoses.
Moist air must be led out of the building.
Always keep the pipes as short as possible to prevent pressure drops and to maintain good capacity.

B) Place the dehumidifier outside the room to be dehumidified
Use poppet valves and exhaust valves to supply dry air and extract moist air.
Place the control panel in the room to be dehumidified.
Extract humid air from one end of the room.
Dry air should be directed to specific areas away from where dry air is blown out, using pipes/hoses.
Moist air must be led out of the building.
Insulate the pipes if there is a risk of frost.


Control panel

OFF/ON
Press to turn the device on or off. After the device is turned on, it will check within 3 seconds whether an external display is connected:
Without external display: Starts in Co mode (10%) with high fan speed and heating element activated
With external display: Resumes last state
When first used, the default setting is OFF , 65% humidity , and Auto mode .

Mode
Press to cycle through the operating modes. The selected mode will flash and be confirmed after 3 seconds of no input.
Auto (Au) → Ventilation (VE) → Normal (No) → Boost (bo) → Winter (UU) → Anti-Mold (NN) → back to Auto.

Auto (Au) : Automatically adjusts fan speed based on humidity. When the room temperature is lower than the setting, the unit enters energy-saving Auto-Pause and starts 2 minutes of airflow every 30 minutes
Ventilation (UE) : Humidity and fan speed can be adjusted. Auto-Pause is not activated (the fan runs continuously without heating element when the desired humidity is reached).
Normal (no) : Allows manual adjustment of humidity and fan speed. When the humidity reaches the target, the unit goes into Auto-Pause and runs a periodic airflow cycle.
Boost (bo) : Runs continuously for 4 hours at high fan speed and maximum drying effect (“Co” mode). In this mode, neither humidity nor fan speed can be adjusted. After 4 hours, the device automatically switches to Normal mode. The app only shows the humidity from the previous setting.
Winter (UU) : Runs at fixed low fan speed (fan speed cannot be adjusted). Humidity can be set manually.
Mold Mode™ : Prevents mold growth with adjustable fan speed and system-controlled humidity. Above 15°C, humidity is fixed at 65%. At 15°C or lower, it increases by 1% for every 1°C drop in temperature, up to a maximum of 80% (even below freezing). Humidity cannot be manually adjusted, and the unit goes into Auto-Pause when the preset level is reached. The app only shows the humidity from the previous setting.

Humidity setting
This setting is disabled when using Boost and Mold Mode™ . Press to adjust the desired humidity.
The values ​​scroll through in the order: 30% → 35% → … → 80% → Co (continuous mode, 10%) → back to 30%.
Long press (6 seconds) to change sensor – In = internal sensor in dehumidifier, Ou = external sensor.

Fan speed
This setting is only available when using Normal, Ventilation, or Mold Mode™.
Press to cycle through the fan speeds: Low (low fan speed) → Medium (medium fan speed) → High (high fan speed) →….
