Seting up / operation
1. Place Theo on a flat surface in the desired area. Plug the power cable
(12) into an electric socket.
2. Open the flap for the air outlet (8). This flap must always be open during
operation. A closed flap can lead to a technical defect.
3. Press the on/off switch (3) to turn on the dehumidifier.
4. The desired humidity level can be set using the hygrostat (4) (40 % /
50 % / 60 % / Con = continuous). When the desired humidity has been
reached, the appliances switches off and then checks the humidity at
intervals by briefly switching on the fan.
5. By pressing the button for the timer (5) you can set the operating time
for between 1 and 7 hours (for example, 3 h = 1 h and 2 h LEDs lit, 7 h
= 1 h, 2 h and 4 h LEDs lit). Press once to set the operating time to 1 h,
press the button again for 2 h, and so on. The remaining time is indi-
cated by the illuminated numbers. The unit switches off automatically
after the set operating time has elapsed.
6. The appliance is equipped with an automatic defrost function. When
the room temperature is low, the appliance automatically switches on
the defrost function “Auto Defrost”. This prevents ice from forming in
the device during operation.
