Important Safety Instructions
SOME NOTIONS ON HUMIDITY
• Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapor. This determines the level of
humidity in an atmosphere. The capacity of the air to hold water vapor increases with temperature.
This is why in our home, as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapor contained in the air
condenses, as is evident on the colder surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls etc. The
purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air, avoiding the damage caused
by condensation.
• Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and for the
home are obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity. With very low temperatures, you are
recommended to heat the room even minimally. This considerably increases the dehumidifying power
of the appliance. With heating, the condensation formed by the water vapor on windows and other
cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be collected by the dehumidifier. Air leaving the dehumidifier
is usually about 33.8°F-35.6°F warmer than room temperature.
