13 Unpacking the appliance
Proceed very carefully when
opening the packaging.
4. Take the dehumidifier out of
the package.
5. Check whether the scope of
delivery is complete (see figs.
A and B).
6. Check whether the
dehumidifier or the individual
parts show signs of damage.
If this is the case do not use the
dehumidifier. Go to the customer
service homepage www.ggv-
service.de
14 Before using the
dehumidifier for the first
time
The manufacturer recommends
that the dehumidifier be operated
for approx. one hour with an
open window before it is used for
the first time in order to
eliminate any possible
manufacturing residue.
Any odour that may arise during
this time is normal and will
disappear after a short time. It is
not an indication of a
malfunction. Ensure that there is
sufficient ventilation.
Thorough cleaning
• Before using the dehumidifier
for the first time, clean it and
all the individual parts as
described in the Cleaning
section in order to remove any
remaining packing dust (see
figs. A and B).
15 Operating functions
This dehumidifier works
according to the condensation
mode. The ambient air drawn in
by the fan inside the dehumidifier
flows over a refrigeration unit,
whereby the humidity in the air
condenses and drips into the
condensation water tank (3) [see
fig. B]. Then the cooled air is
slightly warmed up and
transferred to the space.
15.1 De-icing function
The dehumidifier has an
automatic de-icing function,
which is activated if the
compressor or the cooling unit
freezes over.
Follow the instructions below
concerning the de-icing function:
• You cannot switch the de-icing
function on or off manually. It is
only activated
and terminated automatically.
• If a period of time that was set by
the timer function runs out during
the de-icing process, the
dehumidifier will carry out the de-
icing process in its entirety first
before switching itself off.
• During the de-icing process control
light 22 comes on (see fig. B).
