How It Work s

When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air , and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the fr

ont of the dehumidifier. Theunitisdesignedtooperatebetween41F(5C),and96F(35C). If the unit is switched off and needs to be switched on again, wait three minutes before doing so. Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.
