Humidity:
The average humidity is around 55% +/-10 (refer to the general notes): the average is calculated by
adding the instant peaks (several fluctuations throughout the day as part of the compressor's
operating and shut-down cycles) and dividing the total by two; for example (30% + 80%) / 2 = 55%.
The average level is determined by combining the circulation of ambient air, which is already loaded
with humidity via the carbon filter, by the operation of the device (condensation phenomenon) as
well as the use of lava stones which restore the humidity. Basically, ice forms on the evaporator
during the cooling period. As soon as the compressor stops, this ice melts and is absorbed by the lava
stones. Any surplus is extracted by a slanted discharge spout and then evaporates.
2. Accessories
2.1 The carbon filters
From model serial number 412xxx and onwards, only a single filter is installed. It is located at the top
left and is visible from the outside on the rear of the cabinet. Units produced before then have two
filters. They are located at the top left and bottom left and are visible from the outside on the rear of
the cabinet.
The filter has several purposes including: maintaining natural ventilation in the cabinet, preventing
bad odours and insects from entering while ensuring complete darkness inside the cabinet.
This natural ventilation has a knock-on effect on the humidity levels in the device.
If you notice any odours, moulds or labels that are coming off, it is highly likely due to the fact that
the filter has not being replaced.
The filter should be replaced annually.
Removal direction Rear view Internal view
There are two ways to remove it:
From the inside: this requires the top section of the cabinet to be emptied and to remove the
evaporator cover and the evaporator (plate at the bottom of the cabinet), which is tough and time-
consuming.
We recommend removing the filter by pushing from the outside to the inside and then retrieving the
filter by placing your hand behind the evaporator's cover from inside the cabinet. On cabinets
equipped with a grille on the rear of the device, this one must be removed.
The filter can be put back in place from inside or outside.
