DocumentDocumentDehumidifier WDH-310EKW Dear Customer, You have chosen a high-quality product. To ensure that you get a lot of enjoyment from this product, here are a few more tips: After transport: Since the unit works with refrigerant, improper transport can sometimes occur despite careful instructions on the carton. For this reason, we ask you to leave the unit upright for at least 4 hours before using the unit for the first time, so that the refrigerant can settle properly in the unit. In case of any problems: We hope that the unit meets your expectations! If, despite the greatest possible care, there should ever be cause for complaint, please contact us briefly, as we are very concerned about your satisfaction and would like to clear up any misunderstanding. First start-up: As the internal piping comes into contact with moisture for the first time, it can take up to approx. 3 hours for the first liquid to accumulate in the collection container, depending on the humidity. Start-up time / delay: To protect the compressor, it does not switch on again immediately after the unit has stopped operating or there has been an interruption in operation (e.g., emptying the condensation tank). The compressor is initially in a so-called "protection mode" for about 3 minutes, in which only the fan runs before the compressor switches on again. Room humidity and dehumidification performance: If you want to check the room humidity and the associated dehumidification performance with your own humidity meter (hygrometer), please avoid attaching this humidity meter to a wall, as this will falsify the true humidity content of the room air.

Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de Email: info@aktobis.de Important safety instructions for repairing a unit with refrigerant R290: 1. Check the environment Before starting work on systems containing flammable refrigerants, safety checks are required to ensure that the risk of ignition is minimised. When repairing the refrigerant system, the following safety precautions must be observed and adhered to before any work is carried out on the system. Procedure Work must be carried out under a controlled procedure to minimise the risk of flammable gases or vapours being present during the execution of the work. 2. General work area All maintenance personnel and other persons in the vicinity must be instructed on the type of work to be carried out. Work in confined spaces must be avoided. The area around the work area must be partitioned off. Make sure that the conditions in the work area have been made safe by controlling the flammable material. 3. Check for the presence of refrigerants The area must be checked with a suitable refrigerant detector before and during work to ensure that the technician is aware of possible flammable atmospheres. Ensure that the refrigerant detector used is suitable for working with flammable refrigerants, e.g., non-sparking, adequately sealed and intrinsically safe. 4. Presence of a fire extinguisher If hot work is to be carried out on the refrigerant equipment or associated parts, suitable fire extinguishing equipment must be readily available. Make sure that a dry powder fire extinguisher or a CO2 fire extinguisher is nearby. 5. No ignition sources Persons carrying out work in connection with a refrigeration system which involves exposure to pipe work containing or having contained flammable refrigerants must use ignition sources in such a way that they cannot cause a risk of fire or explosion. All possible sources of ignition, including cigarette smoking, should be kept sufficiently far away from the place of installation, repair and disposal, during which the flammable refrigerant may be released into the surrounding area. Before work, the area around the equipment must be inspected to ensure that there are no flammable hazards or ignition risks. "No smoking" signs must be erected. 6. Ventilated area Ensure that the work area is outdoors or that it is sufficiently ventilated before intervening in the system or carrying out hot work. Adequate ventilation must be ensured throughout the duration of the work to be carried out. Ventilation should safely disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally to atmosphere. Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de Email: info@aktobis.de 7. Testing of the refrigerant equipment When electrical components are replaced, they must be fit for purpose and of the correct specification. The manufacturer's guidelines on maintenance and repair must be observed and followed at all times. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer's technical department for assistance. The following tests must be applied to installations containing flammable refrigerants: - The charging quantity is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant-containing parts are installed; - The ventilation equipment and the ventilation outlets are running properly and are not blocked. 8. Testing of the electrical equipment Before repairing and maintaining electrical components, preliminary safety checks and inspection procedures must be carried out on the components. If there is a defect which could endanger safety, the unit must not be connected to the mains until the defect has been rectified. If the defect cannot be repaired immediately but operation must continue, an adequate temporary solution must be found. This must be reported to the equipment owner so that all parties are informed. The preliminary safety checks shall include: - Capacitors must be discharged; this should be done in a safe manner to avoid the possibility of sparking. - No live components or wiring should be exposed when filling, restoring or flushing the system. - Continuity of the earth connection. 9. Repairs of hermetically sealed components During repair of hermetically sealed components, all power to the unit must be disconnected before removing sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary that power be supplied to the unit during maintenance, a permanent leak detection system must be in place to warn of a potentially dangerous situation. Particular attention must be paid to the following point to ensure that when working on electrical components, the enclosure is not altered in such a way that the degree of protection is compromised. This includes damage to cables, an excessive number of connections, terminals that do not meet the original specification, damage to seals, improper fitting of sealing screws, etc. Make sure that the unit is securely mounted. Make sure that gaskets or sealing material are not so worn that they no longer serve their purpose in preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Spare parts must be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. NOTE: The use of silicone sealants may hinder the effectiveness of some leak detectors. Intrinsically safe components do not need to be sealed before working on them. 10. Repair of intrinsically safe components Do not apply a permanent inductive load or capacitive load to the circuit without ensuring that this does not exceed the permissible voltage and current for the equipment being used. Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while connected to the mains in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test equipment must have the correct ratings. Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts may cause the refrigerant to ignite in the atmosphere due to a leak. Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de Email: info@aktobis.de 11. Wiring Check that the wiring is not subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges or other harmful environmental effects. The test must also take into account the effects of ageing or continuous vibration from sources such as compressors or fans. 12. Detection of flammable refrigerants Under no circumstances should potential sources of ignition be used when searching for or detecting refrigerant leaks. A halogen search lamp (or any other search device that uses open flames) must not be used. 13. Leak detection methods The following leak detection methods are considered acceptable for systems containing flammable refrigerants. Electronic leak detectors must be used to detect flammable refrigerants, but their sensitivity may not be sufficient or they may need to be recalibrated. (Detection equipment must be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the leak detector is not a potential source of ignition and that it is suitable for the refrigerant being used. Leak detection equipment must be set to a percentage of the lower explosion limit and must be calibrated to the refrigerant used and the adequate percentage of gas (25% maximum) must be confirmed. Leak detection fluids are suitable for use with most refrigerants, but the use of cleaning agents containing chlorine must be avoided as chlorine can react with the refrigerant and degrade the copper piping. If a leak is suspected, remove/extinguish all naked flames. If a refrigerant leak is detected that requires brazing, all refrigerant must be recovered from the refrigeration system or isolated (by shutting off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Oxygen-free nitrogen must then be purged through the system before and during the brazing process. 14. Removal and emptying If you intervene in the refrigerant circuit to carry out repairs - or for any other reason - conventional methods must be used. However, it is important that best practices are always followed, as flammability must be considered. The following procedure should be followed: - Remove the refrigerant - Purge the circuit with inert gas - Deflate - Rinse again with inert gas - Open the circuit by cutting or soldering The refrigerant charge must be prepared in the correct preparation cylinders. The system must be "purged" with oxygen-free nitrogen to keep the unit safe. This process may need to be repeated several times. Compressed air or oxygen must not be used for this purpose. Purging can be achieved by intervening in the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to charge until the working pressure is reached and then releasing to atmosphere and finally drawing into a vacuum. This process must be repeated until there is no more refrigerant in the system. When the last charge of oxygen-free nitrogen is made, the system must be vented to atmospheric pressure. This is absolutely necessary if soldering work has to take place on the piping. Make sure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not near sources of ignition and that there is ventilation. Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de Email: info@aktobis.de 15. Filling process In addition to conventional filling operations, the following requirements must be followed: - Ensure that there is no contamination of the various refrigerants when charging the equipment. Hoses or cables must be as short as possible to minimise the amount of refrigerant they contain. - Cylinders must remain upright. - Make sure that the cooling system is earthed before charging the system with refrigerant. - Mark the system when filling is complete (if not already done). - Extreme care must be taken not to overfill the cooling system. - Before refilling the system, the pressure must be tested with oxygen-free nitrogen. The system must be tested for leakage at the end of filling but before commissioning. A verification leakage test must be carried out before leaving the site. 16. Decommissioning Before performing this procedure, it is necessary for the technician to be fully familiar with the equipment and its details. It is a recommended standard that all refrigerants are safely reprocessed. Prior to the task to be performed, an oil sample and a refrigerant sample must be taken in case analysis is required before reusing the recycled refrigerant. It is necessary that electrical power is available before the task is started. a) Familiarise yourself with the equipment and its operation. b) Disconnect the system electrically. c) Before performing the operation, make sure: - that mechanical handling equipment is available; if necessary also for the handling refrigerant cylinders; - that personal protective equipment is available and properly worn; - that the reprocessing process is supervised by a competent person at all times; - that the treatment equipment and cylinders comply with the applicable standards. d) Pump out the refrigerant system if possible. e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that the coolant can be removed from the various parts of the system. f) Make sure that the cylinder is on the scales. g) Start the treatment plant and operate it according to the manufacturer's instructions. h) Do not overfill the cylinders (not more than 80 % capacity liquid filling). i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily. j) When the cylinders have been properly filled and the operation is complete, ensure that the cylinders and equipment are immediately removed from the site and that all shut-off valves on the equipment are closed. k) Reconditioned refrigerant shall not be charged into other refrigeration systems unless it has been purified and tested. 17. Marking The equipment must be marked to indicate that it has been taken out of service and that the refrigerant has been drained. The marking must be dated and signed. Ensure that there are markings on the equipment stating that the equipment contains flammable refrigerant. Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de Email: info@aktobis.de 18. Reprocessing When removing refrigerant from a system, either for maintenance or decommissioning, it is recommended standard practice that all refrigerants are safely removed. When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only suitable refrigerant recovery cylinders are used for this purpose. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders are available to hold the total amount of refrigerant. All cylinders used must be suitable and labelled for the refrigerant being reprocessed (i.e., special cylinders for reprocessing refrigerant). The cylinders must have a pressure relief valve and a connected shut-off valve and be in good working order. Empty reprocessing cylinders shall be drained of air and, if possible, cooled before reprocessing. The reprocessing plant shall be in good working order with appropriate instructions concerning the respective equipment and shall be suitable for the reprocessing of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated scales in good working order must be available. Hoses must be complete with leak-free and proper disconnect couplings. Before using the recovery unit, check that it is in good working order, that it has been properly maintained and that all associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer. The reprocessed refrigerant must be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct reprocessing cylinder and the appropriate disposal certificate must be arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in remanufacturing units and especially not in cylinders. If a compressor or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to ensure that no flammable refrigerant remains in the lubricant. The evacuation process must be carried out before returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electrical heating of the compressor housing may be carried out to speed up this process. When draining oil from a system, this must be done in a safe manner. 19. Electrical components That can arc or spark, which are not considered ignition sources due to compliance with 22.116.1 points b), c), d), or f) only be replaced with parts specified by the appliance manufacturer. Replacement with other parts may result in the ignition of refrigerant in the event of a leak.

Remove the five (5) supplied and unassembled castors from the condensation tank. Then lay the dehumidifier on the floor so that the castors can be attached to the bottom of the unit. Now push the castors in the direction of the arrow (see illustration on the right) into the devices until they lock into place. Now put the dehumidifier back in place and wait approx. 30 minutes so that the internal cooling liquid can settle again. 1.2. Insert the mains plug properly into the socket. 1.3. Check that the condensation tank is properly seated in the dehumidifier. (When using the dehumidifier for the first time, the "condensation tank full" light may come on. Simply pull the condensation tank out briefly and then push it right back in and you are ready to go). 1.4. Switch on the unit with the operating switch. Now press the humidity setting buttons and set your target humidity as desired. The target value of 30% humidity actually corresponds to continuous operation ! The value you set must be below the current room humidity for the unit to dehumidify. If your value is above the current room humidity, the fan runs for 3 minutes and the unit then switches off. If the room humidity rises above the set value, the unit automatically starts dehumidifying again. 1.5. Select between low and high fan speed or air circulation with the fan speed button. 1.6. If you want to activate/use the timer function (function for determining the remaining time or function for specifying a start time), press the TIMER button. Determining the remaining time: Press the TIMER button during operation to select the desired remaining time of the dehumidifier. (A value between 1 - 24 hours can be selected using the humidity setting keys). After this selected operating time has elapsed, the unit switches off automatically. Determining a start time: When the dehumidifier is switched off, press the TIMER button to select the desired start time. (A value between 1 - 24 hours can be selected using the humidity setting keys). After this selected time has elapsed, the unit switches on automatically (with the last settings used, provided the mains plug has not been disconnected in the meantime). 1.7. If you want to use the control via app, you must first download the "Tuya Smart" app on your smartphone (tablet) from the app store. After downloading, open the app and make sure that your smartphone is connected to your Wi-Fi network and that the Bluetooth function of your smartphone is switched on. Now follow the instructions in the app to register. After registering, click on "Add device" in the app. Select the button "Dehumidifier" under the category "Small household appliance". The dehumidifier should now be displayed. Click on it to connect it to your smartphone via the app. As soon as your smartphone is paired with the dehumidifier, the signal light of the WLAN function in the display stops flashing and lights up continuously. Now you can conveniently set the dehumidifier via the app and at the same time read values such as the current room humidity without having to stand directly in front of the device. Note: If you do not use the WLAN function for a longer period of time or do not pair the dehumidifier with a WLAN network, this function switches to standby mode and the signal light stops flashing. To reactivate the WLAN function, switch off the unit and then press and hold the On/Off button for 5 seconds until you hear a tone confirming the activation. The unit should now be switched on and the signal light should also flash again. The WLAN function is active again. 2. Emptying the collection tank / When the "Condensation tank full" light is on When the condensation tank is full, the signal light lights up and the dehumidifier then automatically stops its dehumidification operation. Remove the condensation tank and empty it. After you have pushed the condensation tank neatly back into the unit, the dehumidification operation starts again automatically. Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de Email: info@aktobis.de 3. Connecting a hose 3.1. You need a 3/4 inch plastic hose. 3.2. The hose connection is closed by a cover. Unscrew this cover and remove the screw cap and the black rubber plug inside (see illustration below). 3.3. Now guide the plastic hose onto the black drip tap provided. Push the hose as far as possible onto the drip tap and make sure that the hose is tight and cannot come loose. 3.4. Proper drainage of condensation water with hose connection ! Make sure that the hose always has a slight slope (see the following diagrams). 4. Other operating instructions 4.1. Do not disconnect the mains plug by pulling on the power cable ! 4.2. Do not use insect, oil or paint spray etc. near the dehumidifier. This may cause damage to the unit or even fire ! 4.3. Do not place the appliance on sloping or uneven ground ! 4.4. Please always keep a distance of approx. 20 cm to the wall to avoid possible overheating of the appliance. Furthermore, please also ensure a distance of approx. 50 cm upwards when drying laundry ! 4.5. For effective and economical dehumidification operation, please close all doors and windows in the dehumidifier room ! 4.6. Please keep the unit away from heat sources ! 4.7. Always keep the appliance in its proper and upright position. and transport ! 4.8. Remove any residual water from the condensation tank before moving the appliance. Aktobis AG, Borsigstr. 20, D-63110 Rodgau / Germany www.AKTOBIS.de Email: info@aktobis.de 5. Cleaning 5.1. Cleaning the housing - Please unplug the dehumidifier from the mains before cleaning. - Only use mild cleaning agents to clean your dehumidifier. - NEVER spray your dehumidifier (e.g., with water or similar). 5.2. Cleaning the air filter The air filter filters lint, hair and coarse dust. The air filter is coated with an antibacterial glaze to inhibit the proliferation of bacteria. Furthermore, the air filter ensures that less dust is deposited on the cooling fins, thus ensuring higher efficiency. - Clean the filter whenever it can be assumed that the air intake is reduced by the dirty air filter ! - Fold the carrying handle upwards and then remove the air filter, upwards, from its holder. - It is best to clean the air filter carefully under lukewarm water or with a low-setting (suction power) hoover. - Push the cleaned air filter back into its holder from above - DONE.

Furthermore, bear in mind that the dehumidifier can only remove moisture from the air and only indirectly from materials. Depending on the condition of the ceilings, walls and fixtures, it may take several weeks for the stored moisture to be released back into the air! For this reason, we also recommend that if you use your own humidity meter (hygrometer), you place it as freely as possible and somewhat away from walls and ceilings, because otherwise the humidity value determined for the room air will be falsified! As with all dehumidifiers, the dehumidification performance is decisively influenced by the following factors: A) humidity content of the room air and B) heat/temperature in the room. Therefore, for safety's sake, here is an excerpt from the dehumidification table at CONTINUOUS OPERATION: 35 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 11 litres and at 90% r.h. = approx. 12 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 6 litres 30 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 10 litres and at 90% r.h. = approx. 11 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 5 litres 20 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 5 litres and at 90% r.h. = approx. 6 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 4 litres 15 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 4 litres and at 90% r.h. = approx. 5 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 3 litres 10 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx. 3 litres and at 90% r.h. = approx. 4 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 2 litres 5 degrees and 80% r.h. = approx 2 litres and at 90% r.h. = approx. 3 litres and at 60% r.h. = approx. 1 litres All data are approximate per day (fluctuation tolerance) when measured directly at the unit inlet and, of course, these values only apply if the temperature and moisture content remain constant! The unit rattles or makes running noises Running noises are usually caused by the air filter unit. We kindly ask you to remove the air filter and check whether the running noises are still present to the same extent. An unfavourable position of the dehumidifier is often the reason for higher running noises. Try changing the position of the dehumidifier a little, as the running noises will usually disappear for the most part. Optimal and particularly quiet operation is achieved when the dehumidifier is placed on a piece of carpet, doormat or similar during operation! (Stone floors, tiles, laminate or parquet, on the other hand, increase the operating noise of the dehumidifier!) The appliance is leaking or water is leaking out. In this context, we would like to provide you with the following information: A "leak" on your dehumidifier is actually impossible, unless the main frame is broken and such a thing can of course be ruled out without force. If the water still runs out, then the condensate is probably coming from the "emergency drain", which is located behind the collection container at the very top right in a small triangular recess. The reason for this is that the normal drain is blocked. This can have the following causes: 1. The most common cause is a slight soiling in the drip tray or the left drain (e.g. due to dead insects, dirt or similar) and therefore the condensate cannot drain off normally. In this context, please check the left drain once or shake the unit once briefly in the upside-down position. Make sure that you then wait at least 4 hours before switching the unit on again! 2. The unit does not have a straight stand. 3. It may be that only a large piece of ice has come off the cooling fins of your dehumidifier and this leads to a short-term blockage. We therefore recommend that you disconnect the unit completely from the power supply for a day and then the unit should no longer "leak".
