WHAT IS A DEHUMIDIFIER?

Your Breville dehumidifier is designed to
reduce and maintain the level of humidity in
the air as well as to prevent condensation and
mildew on the ceilings and walls.

HOW DOES A DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?

Your Breville dehumidifier regulates the
relative humidity of your home by drawing
moist, humid air from the surrounding area
and turning the moisture into water. The water
is dispensed into the water tank or drainage
hose, while the now non-humid air is re­warmed and passed back into the room.

WHAT IS RELATIVE HUMIDITY?

Relative humidity is the amount of water
vapour in the air and it is commonly expressed
as a percentage of the maximum amount of
water vapour that the air can hold at a given
temperature. A comfortable %RH level is
between 40-60%RH.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Before using your dehumidifier for the first

time, remove all packaging material and
promotional labels.

2. Check for any missing or damaged parts as

per the components list.

3. Clean all parts according to the Care,

Cleaning & Storage section of this book.

4. Use the carry handle to move the

dehumidifier.

5. Position the dehumidifier away from walls,

furniture and other appliances as per the
illustration below.

6. Ensure that the filter, grilles and water

tank and drainage hose (if applicable) are
correctly installed before use.

7. Connect the power plug to a 230V or 240V

outlet and switch the outlet on.
