ENGLISH
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the air in the form of water vapour.
This amount of moisture is commonly known as the humidity.
The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with the 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, to control condensation within the home.
Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and
preserve objects are obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity. Below these levels the
air can feel too dry and may cause skin complaints and even static electric shocks.
This new dehumidifier is a combined function appliance (dehumidifying and heating) able to
quickly and efficiently reduce the relative humidity in a room. Its combined function is particularly suitable for obtaining a rapid effect at low temperatures (below 10˚C). In these conditions, the
heater evaporates the condensation formed by the water vapour on walls, furniture and objects,
allowing the humidity to then be eliminated efficiently by the dehumidifier. The compact unit is fitted with handles making it easy to transport. The combined operation is particularly suitable for
drying clothes (COMBI DRYER function).
