SOME NOTIONS ON
HUMIDITY
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapour. This determines the level of humidity in an atmosphere.
The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with temperature.
This is why in our homes, as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses, as is evident on the colder surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls etc. The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air, avoiding the damage caused by condensation.

Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and for the home are obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity. Lower relative humidity can be achieved with higher room temperatures. For lower room temperatures the achievable relative humidity will be on the higher side, closer to 60%. Therefore, with lower room temperatures, you are recommended to heat the room even minimally.
This considerably increases the dehumidifying power of the appliance.
With heating, the condensation formed by the water vapour on windows and other cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be collected by the dehumidifier.

•Failure to respect the instructions may result in injury or damage to the appliance.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage deriving from failure to follow these instructions.
Electrical connections
Before plugging the appliance into the outlet, check that:
•The outlet, power supply corresponds to the working voltage indicated on the rating plate.
•The power outlet, and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance.
•The power outlet, matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced by a qualified electrician;
•The outlet is properly grounded.
INSTALLATION
Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified. A free space of at least 2 ft (61 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 2-4 in (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). When the tank is full, remove (fig.1) and empty it into a sink. When finished, replace it properly.
NOTE: The tank must be positioned porperly for the unit to function.
If you hear the intermittent sound of the beep, it means the tank is not in the proper position.
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 continuous draining.
