Information about the device
Description of the device
The device uses the principle of condensation to automatically
dehumidify rooms.
The fan sucks damp room air through the air inlet, the air filter,
the evaporator and to the condenser located behind it. The air is
cooled at the cold evaporator until it is below the dew point.
Water vapour contained in the room air precipitates on the
evaporator fins as condensation or rime. The dehumidified,
cooled air is slightly warmed at the condenser and blown out
again. The drier air thus conditioned mixes with the air in the
room. The humidity in the room where the device is positioned
is reduced as air constantly circulates through the device.
Depending on the air temperature and the relative humidity, the
condensed water either drops continuously or only during the
defrost phase through the integrated drain nozzle into the
condensation tank below. It is fitted with a float to measure the
filling level.
The device has a control panel for operating and controlling the
functions.
Once the maximum filling level of the condensation tank is
reached or in case the condensation tank is not installed
correctly, the condensation tank indicator light (see chapter
Operating elements) on the control panel is illuminated. The
device switches off. The condensation tank indicator light only
goes out again once the emptied condensation tank is
reinserted.
Optionally, the condensed water can be drained by attaching a
hose at the condensation connection.
The device can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approx.
30%.
In addition, the device may also be used as a kind of clothes
dryer to dry wet laundry in living or working spaces.
Because of the heat radiation generated during operation, the
room temperature may rise slightly.

Transport and storage
Note
If you store or transport the device improperly, the
device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of
the device.
Transport
To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with wheels.
Before transporting the device, observe the following:
• Switch the device off.
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
• Do not use the power cable to drag the device.
• Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the
condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).
• Only wheel the device on a level and smooth surface.
After transporting the device, observe the following:
• Set up the device in an upright position after transport.
• Leave the device to rest for 12to24hours, so the
refrigerant can accumulate within the compressor. Wait
12to24hours before switching the device back on! Acting
contrary might lead to compressor damage and a
malfunctioning device. If so, any warranty claims will be
voided.
Storage
Before storing the device, proceed as follows:
• Drain the remaining condensate from the device and the
condensation drain hose (see chapter Maintenance).
• Empty and clean the condensation tank prior to storage.
• Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable out
of the mains socket.
• Drain any possibly remaining condensate.
When the device is not being used, observe the following
storage conditions:
• dry and protected from frost and heat
• in an upright position where it is protected from dust and
direct sunlight
• with a cover to protect it from invasive dust if necessary
• Place no further devices or objects on top of the device to
prevent it from being damaged.

EN 7
dehumidifier TTK 53 E / TTK 72 E
• When positioning the device, keep a sufficient distance to
heat sources.
• Make sure that no curtains or other objects interfere with
the air flow.
• When positioning the device, particularly in wet areas,
secure it locally with an RCD (residual current device)
which complies with the respective regulations.
Inserting the air filter
Note
Do not operate the device without an inserted air filter!
Without the air filter, the inside of the device will be
heavily contaminated. This could reduce the
performance and result in damage to the device.
• Make sure that the air filter is installed before switching
the device on.
Inserting the condensation tank
• Ensure that the float inside the condensation tank is
inserted correctly.
• Ensure that the condensation tank is empty and inserted
correctly.
Connecting the power cable
• Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains
socket.
