This document outlines the operation and maintenance of the TTK 99 HEPA dehumidifier, a device designed for drying and dehumidifying room air. It can also be used as a clothes dryer for wet laundry in living and working spaces. The dehumidifier is suitable for use in various environments such as living rooms, bedrooms, basements, holiday homes, camper vans, storage spaces, archives, laboratories, garages, and changing rooms, helping to maintain dryness.

Function Description

The TTK 99 HEPA dehumidifier operates on the principle of condensation. A fan draws damp room air through an air inlet, an air filter, a HEPA filter, an evaporator, and then a condenser. The air is cooled at the cold evaporator to below its dew point, causing water vapor to condense or form rime on the evaporator fins. The dehumidified, cooled air is then slightly warmed at the condenser and blown back into the room. This drier, conditioned air mixes with the room air, gradually reducing the humidity as the device continuously circulates air.

The device is equipped with an integrated HEPA filter, which removes pollen, viruses, dust mite residues, mold spores, and other allergens from the air with an efficiency of 95%. This contributes to improved air quality in the operating environment.

Condensed water either drips continuously or during a defrost phase into a condensation tank located below the evaporator. The tank features a float mechanism to measure the filling level. When the maximum filling level is reached or if the tank is not installed correctly, an indicator light on the control panel illuminates, and the device automatically switches off. The device will only resume operation once the condensation tank has been emptied and reinserted. For continuous operation, a condensation drain hose can be attached to the device to continuously drain accumulated condensate.

The dehumidifier can reduce the relative humidity of a room to approximately 30%. Due to the heat generated during operation, the room temperature may experience a slight increase.

Usage Features

The device is operated via a control panel and features a color LED display that indicates the current relative room humidity using three different colors: blue (below 50%), green (50-70%), and red (70% or above).

Operating Modes:

• Dehumidification: The device runs until a preselected relative room humidity is reached. The compressor then switches off, while the fan continues to run. If the humidity rises above the preselected level, the compressor reactivates. The desired relative room humidity can be set between 30% and 80% using the Humidity button.
• Continuous Operation: In this mode, the device continuously dehumidifies regardless of the humidity level. The fan speed remains low and cannot be adjusted. The relative room humidity cannot be set, but the current humidity value is displayed. A condensation drain hose can be connected for continuous drainage.
• Laundry Drying Function: When activated, the device dehumidifies at high power, irrespective of the humidity level. The fan speed remains high and cannot be adjusted. The relative room humidity cannot be set, but the current humidity value is displayed. Recommended humidity levels for drying laundry are: cupboard dry (46%), iron dry (58%), and slightly dried (65%).
• Ventilation: In this mode, the device cleans the air without dehumidification. Both low and high fan speeds can be selected. The current humidity value is displayed.

Additional Features:

• Night Mode: Dims the control panel and generates a gentle air current for quieter operation, suitable for sleep. Activated and deactivated via the Sleep button.
• Timer Function: Allows for automatic switch-on or switch-off after a preset number of hours (1 to 24 hours). This function can be set in hourly increments and is active across all operating modes. The Timer LED illuminates when the timer is active.
• Locking Function (Child Lock): Locks the control panel buttons to prevent unintended changes to settings. Activated and deactivated by pressing the Child Lock button for approximately 3 seconds. The Child Lock LED illuminates when active.
• Memory Function: The device saves the selected operating mode, relative humidity level, and fan speed settings. These settings are retained even after short power failures, allowing the device to resume operation with the previous configuration (except for the timer).
• Auto Stop Function: The device automatically stops when the condensation tank is full, and the corresponding LED illuminates.

Automatic Defrost:

At low ambient temperatures, ice may form on the evaporator. The device will automatically initiate a defrost cycle, during which dehumidification is briefly interrupted, but the fan continues to run. The duration of this process varies. It is important not to switch off the device or remove the mains plug during automatic defrost. An indicator on the segment display illuminates during this process.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of the device.

Before Starting Maintenance:

• Always switch off the device and remove the mains plug from the socket.
• Do not touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands.
• Tasks requiring the device to be opened must only be carried out by authorized specialist companies or Trotec.

Maintenance Intervals:

• Before every start-up: Check air inlet and outlet for dirt and foreign objects, and clean if necessary. Check the air filter for dirt and foreign objects, and clean or replace if necessary. Check for damage. Empty and clean the condensation tank and/or drain hose.
• As needed: Clean the exterior. Visually check the inside of the device for dirt. Replace the air filter. Clean and replace the HEPA filter. Check attachment screws.
• At least every 2 weeks: Check air inlet and outlet for dirt and foreign objects, and clean if necessary.
• At least every 4 weeks: Check the air filter for dirt and foreign objects, and clean or replace if necessary.
• At least every 6 months: Test run.
• Annually: Visually check the inside of the device for dirt. Clean and replace the HEPA filter. Test run.

Specific Maintenance Tasks:

• Cleaning the Housing: Use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Ensure no moisture enters the housing or electrical components. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents.
• Visual Inspection of the Inside: Remove the air filter and use a torch to inspect the device's interior for dirt. If a thick layer of dust is present, have the device cleaned by a specialist company.
• Cleaning and Replacing the HEPA Filter:
  • Remove the air inlet cover and pull out the HEPA filter using its strip.
  • If slightly dirty, clean with a dry, lint-free cloth. If heavily soiled, dispose of the filter according to national regulations and replace it with a new one.
  • The HEPA filter cannot be washed.
  • Ensure the HEPA filter is installed before switching on the device.
  • The HEPA filter's lifespan is approximately one year, depending on air pollution. Reduced capacity may indicate a dirty filter.
• Cleaning the Air Filter:
  • Remove the air inlet cover and the filter from the cover.
  • Clean with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth. For heavy contamination, use warm water mixed with a neutral cleaning agent.
  • Allow the filter to dry completely before reinserting.
  • Ensure the air filter is undamaged before reinsertion.
• Emptying and Cleaning the Condensation Tank:
  • Remove the condensation tank from the device.
  • Empty the collected water into a suitable drain.
  • Rinse the tank with clear water. Clean regularly with a mild cleaning agent (no detergent).
  • Ensure the float inside the tank is correctly positioned and undamaged when reinserting the tank.

After Maintenance:

• If continuing to use the device, allow it to rest for 12 to 24 hours to allow the refrigerant to accumulate in the compressor before switching it back on. Failure to do so may lead to compressor damage and void warranty claims.
• Reconnect the device to the mains.
• If storing the device for a considerable time, follow the guidelines in the "Transport and storage" chapter.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides a list of common errors and faults, along with steps to diagnose and resolve them, such as checking power connections, air filters, condensation tank seating, and room temperature. If issues persist, contact customer service or a specialist company for repair.
