How it works
This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air
through the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling
elements. Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to
condense. This condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried
air then passes through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters
the room at a slightly elevated temperature.
Where to position
Excess moisture will travel
throughout your home, in
the same way that cooking
smells waft to every room in
the house. For this reason,
the dehumidifier should be
positioned, so that it can
draw this moist air towards
it from all over the home.
Alternatively, if you have a
serious problem in one area
you can begin by
positioning the dehumidifier
close to this area and later
moving it to a more central
point. When positioning the
dehumidifier, ensure that it
is placed on a level surface
and that there is a minimum
of 10 cm (4") of space on
either side of the unit to
allow for efficient airflow.
This dehumidifier is fitted
with castors for extra
mobility, if you move the
unit, it should first be
switched off and the water
tank emptied. We do not recommend the
use of an extension lead, so
please try to ensure that the
unit is sufficiently close to a
fixed mains socket. If it is
necessary to use am
extension lead, please
ensure the diameter of the
wires of the cable is at least
1 mm2.
When the dehumidifier is in
operation, outside doors
and windows should be
closed when necessary for
most efficient use .
