IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive
2002/96/EC.
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as
urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority
differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this
service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids
possible negative consequences for the environment and health
deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent
materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy
and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out
wheeled dustbin.
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 homes, 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 windows, walls etc. The purpose
of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air to avoid 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°F
-
35°F warmer than room temperature.
