• Do not use the unit without the air filter
• Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires,
fireplaces, etc)
• This dehumidifier must not be used in spaces:
- Where there is a high concentration of gases, solvent
or other volatile organic compounds
- In very dusty environments; in any domestic, commercial or
industrial environment where air composition is flammable.
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of water vapour. This is known as humidity.
The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with the temperature. This is why in our homes,
as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses leaving moisture on the
colder surfaces in the room such as the windows and the walls etc.
The purpose of the dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air to control the
condensation in the home. The optimum environmental conditions for the home are between 40% and
60% Relative Humidity (RH).
Below these levels the air can feel too dry and may cause skin complaints and create static.
If temperatures in the home are below 10°C for prolonged periods, low level heating will be necessary
to allow the condensation to evaporate into the air before dehumidification can take place. The air will
however be slightly warmed by the dehumidifier as the dry air leaving the dehumidifier is between 1°C
to 4°C higher than ambient room temperature.
