HOW IT 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 slight-
ly elevated temperature.
WHERE TO POSITION
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 cen-
tral point. When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure
that it is placed on a level surface and that there is a
minimum of 10 cm (4") 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 am
extension lead, please ensure the diameter of the
wires of the cable is at least 1 mm2.
When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors
and windows should be closed when necessary for
most efficient use .
