USER MANUAL AriaDry Slim Dehumidifier
Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified. A free space of at least 50 cm must be left at the front of the dehumidifier, so as not to block the air outlet. For efficient ventilation a space of about 5-10 cm should be left at the back of the appliance. The condensate can be drained in one of the following ways:
A) Draining into the tank
The condensate can be drained directly into the tank. The tank can be easily removed (fig.1).
B) Continuous external draining
If the appliance is to be operated for long periods but you are unable to empty the tank regularly, you are recommended to use the continuous drain facility.
1) Remove the continuous drain cap by turning it anticlockwise then remove the rubber bung from the spout (fig. 2).
2) In models with continuous drain, screw on
the connector as shown in figure 3. Make sure the gasket in the connector is positioned correctly.
3) Attach the rubber hose to the outlet as shown in figure 4.
4) Make sure the end of the hose is no higher than the spout or water could remain in the tank. Make sure there are no kinks in the hose (Fig. 5).
Instructions for fitting the castors
1) Unplug from the mains socket and empty the tank (if full)
2) Remove the rubber caps from the bottom of the appliance by pulling forcefully or using pliers (see figure 6/1).
3) Fit the castors by inserting the pins into the holes. (see figure 6/2)
N.B.: While fitting the castors, do not tilt the appliance at an angle of more than 45°. After fitting the castors, wait for at least an hour before using the dehumidifier again.
Description of buttons
ON/Standby" button
ON/Standby" button
"MODE" button
Selects the operating modes: dehumidifying, dry, smart and fan
"Fan" button
Selects fan speed
Hygrometer/thermometer button
Temporarily displays the temperature and humidity measured in the room by the appliance.
N.B.: the measurements displayed are indicative only.
Humidity increase/decrease buttons
Adjusts the percentage of humidity present in the room, increasing it or reducing it by steps of 5%.
Display
Meaning of the codes or symbols which may be displayed:
 | Indicates that the appliance is in standby mode. |
 | Indicates that the tank is full, absent or positioned incorrectly. |
 | Indicates that the appliance is operating at low temperatures. In this situation, ventilation cycles are alternated with dehumidification cycles to avoid the formation of ice. For use in particularly cold environments, you are recommended to heat the room to raise the ambient temperature even minimally. This allows the dehumidifier to operate in conditions that improve its performance and accelerate the dehumidifying process. |
 | Indicates that there may be a fault with the probes, or that the humidity in the room is too low to be measured. |
1) Plug the appliance into a mains socket.
2) "- -" is displayed to indicate that the appliance is in standby and therefore ready for operation.
If 
is displayed, empty the tank or position it correctly.
3) Press the ON/Standby 
button.
Press the "MODE" button and choose dehumidifying mode.
"
" and the level of relative humidity previously set are displayed.
Press the "+" or "-" button to set the desired humidity (30% means a dry environment, 80% a humid environment).
Press the "
" button to modify fan speed (MIN/MAX).
When MAX speed is selected, the appliance operates at maximum dehumidifying power.
When MIN speed is selected, the appliance operates at low power and the noise will also be less. Press the 
button to display room temperature (" 
" symbol) and the relative humidity (" 
") in the room in sequence.
When the appliance reaches the set level of humidity it will stop and the fan will come on at regular intervals to maintain a correct relative humidity reading.
As soon as the humidity increases above the set point, the appliance will automatically resume dehumidification operation.
In Dry mode, the appliance operates constantly at maximum power.
This mode is useful to dehumidify the room rapidly.
Press the MODE button and choose Dry mode ( 
symbol on).
Relative humidity and fan speed cannot be set.
This dehumidifies automatically.
According to room conditions, the appliance automatically establishes the optimum settings for maximum comfort.
Press the MODE button and choose Smart mode.
The " 
" symbol appears on the display. Relative humidity and fan speed cannot be set.
Press the "MODE" button and choose fan mode ("
" is displayed).
Press the " " button to select the required fan speed (MIN/MAX).
Always unplug the appliance from the power socket before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations.
For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a jet of water
Cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
• Do not use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Do not spray liquid insecticide or similar products as they may deform the plastic.
Cleaning the silver ion air filter
If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air purifying functions decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. The frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. If the unit is used constantly or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week.
• Remove the air filter by pulling sideways (Fig. 7).
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from the filter.
If the filter is very dirty, rinse well in warm water.
The temperature of the water must not exceed 40°C.
After washing the filter, allow it to dry completely before repositioning it.
The silver ion filter not just retains dust particles, but also has an efficient antibacterial action. It also greatly reduces concentrations of irritants such as pollen and spores.
If the appliance is not used for long periods
• After unplugging the appliance from the power socket, empty the tank.
• Clean and reposition the filter.
• Cover the appliance with a plastic bag to protect it from dust.
