Maintenance
The appliance does not require any elaborate care and maintenance. Always disconnect
the power supply plug [12] from the mains socket before completing any maintenance or
cleaning work on the appliance.
Cleaning the case
• Always clean or wipe with a dry or slightly moist cloth.
• Never use spirts, aggressive household cleaners, solvents or similar substances as
this could damage the paintwork and plastic parts.
Cleaning the air filter
The air filter [8] is located directly behind the air intake grille [7]. It is a removable per-
manent filter which, for hygienic reasons, should be cleaned at least once a week. An air
filter clogged with dust restricts air circulation, thereby diminishing the dehumidifying
capacity of the appliance with the result that it is turned off prematurely.
• First remove the condense water tank [9] and then remove the air filter [8] by pulling
it downwards.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust that has been retained by the filter. The fil-
ter can be cleaning in lukewarm water (not warmer than 40°C) to remove intense
grime.
• The filter must be completely dry before it is returned.
Storage
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
• Wind the power supply cable [12] onto the cable holder [11] at the back of the appli-
ance.
• Empty and dry the condensed water tank [9].
• Clean the air filter [8] and return only after it is completely dry.
• Cover the appliance to protect it from dust, and store in an upright (vertical) position in
a guaranteed frost-free place.
Faults
Check in the event of a fault so see whether you can remedy it yourself. If this is not the
case then please contact your nearest Fakir service workshop (see enclosed list of
