How it works

Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold, refrigerated

Dehumidifying Coil

Condenser

dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on
this coil and then drains into a bucket (or through a
hose into a drain). Dry, clean air is then drawn over the
condenser where it is actually heated several degrees
and discharged out the front

grille

into the room. It is

normal

for

the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates. This warming
effect further reduces the relative humidity of the
surrounding air.

When locating the dehumidifier, be sure to place it
where there is no restriction to the air flow either into
the coil at the rear or from the front grille. Good air
circulation through the appliance is essential to
efficient operation.
