WELCOME
Thank you and conons for choosing an EcoSeb dehumidifier to help you improve the air qual-
ity within your home. Inside you will find many hps on how to use and maintain your dehu-
midifier efficiently. Just a li5le pve care can save you money and prolong the life of your de-
humidifier.
The purpose of the dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture in the air by detec+ng the humidity
level in the room. By keeping humidity within recommended levels, a dehumidifier combats house-
hold damp, mould and mildew. Dehumidifiers can help to reduce the symptoms of asthma, allergies,
and other respiratory health condi+ons. They can also be used to help dry laundry quicker and con-
trol moisture-based damage (such as the a:ermath of flooding, leaks or rising damp) to valuable be-
longings and furniture.
HUMIDITY GUIDE
There will always be water vapour in the air. The water vapour (or commonly known as moisture) in
the air is measured in % Rela+ve Humidity (RH). RH is the ra+o of the actual amount of water vapour
in the air to the amount it could hold when saturated expressed as a percentage. Too much or too
li5le moisture in our homes can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The op+mum humidity level is be-
tween 40% and 60% (RH) where we feel most comfortable.
LOW HUMIDITY
Low humidity indoors causes excess drying which can trigger skin ons such as eczema, chapped
skin and dry nose. It can also damage possessions, such as wooden furniture, musical instruments
and artwork by drying it out too much.
HIGH HUMIDITY
High humidity indoors causes damp and con. The damp le: by con can damage
plaster, wall paper, furniture, vehicles, +mber windows, doors and clothes. It can be harmful to our
health when bacteria thrives, causing mould and fungus.
MAINTAINING SAFE LEVELS OF HUMIDITY
It is important to maintain a consistent humidity range to preserve furniture, pain+ngs, door and win-
dow frames. High humidity causes swelling, corrosion, so:ening of glues and paint. Low humidity
causes shrinking, cracking, warping of wood surfaces and gaps in joints, doors and windows. Fre-
quent changes in humidity levels can accelerate damages to property and belongings.
CONDENSATION
The warmer the air, the more moisture the air can hold than colder air. So, when the air inside the
house becomes colder, the moisture contents in the air becomes saturated, and gets heavier re-
sul+ng in moisture coon on the coldest parts of the house par+cularly on the windows, bath-
room mirrors and walls. This is con, caused by a sudden increase in humidity, cooking,
showers, drying clothes, inadequate ven+la+on and poor thermal on.
Con does not disappear instantly even with the dehumidifier on. Where excessive conden-
sa+on appears for example, on your windows, you may want to open your windows to expel the ex-
cess humidity for several minutes. It will take a while for the con to generally increase the
humidity in the room. Once the humidity level in the room around the dehumidifier is increased
above the level you have set on the dehumidifier, it will then begin the dehumidifica+on process.
