De'Longhi GB-5748015200 Owner's Manual
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.
With temperatures near 5°C, you are recommended to heat the room even minimally.
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.
Negative ions change the polarity of airborne particles, causing them to magnetically attract
together. As a result, they become too large to remain airborne, and fall out of the air that you
breathe in. Negative ions are present in our environment, wherever we feel the air clean and
fresh, especially around waterfalls, ocean sur f, rivers and mountains. It has been proven that
negative ions promote wellness, and, as such, provide additional benefits when there are more
negative ions than positive ones in the air we breathe.
