1. Ensure it is always connected to the mains
2. Allow at least 40mm/ 1.5” clearance between the back of the unit and the wall.
3. Ensure internal doors are kept ajar where possible to aid moisture transfer.
4. Ensure external doors and windows are kept closed as much as possible.
This also prevents the wastage of heat from your home.
5. Clean the filter at regular intervals – monthly is recommended.
• Moisture migrates around a home eventually condensing on the coldest surface. If the coldest
surface is a window it will become coated in condensation.
• Cold walls may be affected by dampness and mould spots. Slightly cooler areas of the house such as the
hallway or landing are excellent places to position your dehumidifier.
• If possible leave interior doors partly open.
• If an area is particularly badly affected the dehumidifier can be placed in that room to concentrate
the effect.
• DO NOT place next to a radiator or other heat source, as this will reduce the performance, the
recommended distance from these is two metres.
• Also, do not place the unit in front of curtains or fabric which may be sucked onto the rear of the unit and
reduce the airflow.
Important
Your Ebac Powerpac is packed in a plastic wrapping, please ensure that it is disposed of safely and where it

Getting the most from your Powerpac Dehumidifier
Positioning your Powerpac
Your Powerpac is fitted with a unique patented intelligent control system which learns about your home
and the weather conditions, the unit will then automatically decide when it needs to operate.
1. Stand your Powerpac upright for at least 2 hours
2. Ensure there is at least 40mm clearance between the back of the unit and any wall.
3. Plug in and switch on at the socket.
The unit will default to the following settings:
Mode: Max
Fan Speed: Slow
Extraction: 3 Raindrops will be lit solidly.
The unit will run constantly irrespective of the humidity.
We recommend the unit be set to MAX (default setting) when using the dehumidifier for the first time
until signs of excess moisture (such as condensation on windows) are reduced. this usually takes between
2 and 4 weeks but can take up to 8 weeks in extreme conditions. The unit should then be set to Smart for
normal daily operation. There may be times when Boost may be needed e.g if conditions have worsened
due to exceptional weather, or where moisture generation in the home increases substantially such as
when drying laundry in doors. Smart Control will normally adjust to these changes, however, you may
wish to select Boost to speed up the process.
