Operating Your Dehumidifier
SAFETY DEVICES
This appliance has two protection devices:
•
Resettable thermal link - this will automatically disconnect the power to the
appliance at a pre-set overheat temperature. After cooling down it will reset and
power on again. If this occurs, investigate what is causing the appliance to overheat.
•
Thermal fuse - this disconnects the appliance permanently in case of overheating. (It
is non resettable).

these deposits are removed regularly by unplugging the appliance and vacuum
cleaning the air vents and grills.
