HOW A DEHUMIDIFIER WORKS

This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity
by passing the air through the unit, forcing the excess
moisture to condensate over the cooling elements. Contact
with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to
condense. This condensed water then drains safely into the
water tank. The dried air then passes through the
condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the
room at a slightly elevated temperature.

WHERE TO POSITION THE APPLIANCE

Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking smells waft to every room in the
house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned, so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all
over the home.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier close to this
area and later moving it to a more central point.
When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that there is a minimum of 10 cm
of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient airflow.
This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it should first be switched off and the
water tank emptied.
We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the unit is sufficiently close to a
fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use an extension lead, please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable
is at least 1 mm
When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed when necessary for most
efficient use.
