INSTALLATION
FIND A SUITABLE POSITION
•
Position the dehumidifier in the dampest room or somewhere central like a landing or a hallway. As
long as the internal doors are open, the excess moisture from all of the room in the house will
migrate naturally towards the dehumidifier and be processed.
•
If there is a problematic area or a room in a high humidity level, use a hygrometer to measure
(available to purchase at ecoair.org) in the property, you may wish to place it in that area initially.
Once the problem is settled you may wish to relocate to the location above.
•
Please refer to the important safeguards on the previous pages when positioning the dehumidifier,
such as a safe distance away from the wall, avoid confined areas, ensure floor is even and level
surface.
INSTALLING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
•
Unpack the dehumidifier and plug in to the socket.
•
Ensure there is a minimum distance of 40 cm around the dehumidifier.
•
Check that the dehumidifier is level to avoid any water leaks.
•
Turn on the dehumidifier to start dehumidification.
ZEOLITE
•
When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically thereafter you may notice a smell coming from
the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material and is NOT a sign that the
dehumidifier is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets.
•
The Zeolite absorbs odours from items such as cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials
and new furniture and then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room.
(This smell has been described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell). This is normal and will
NOT last long, nor is it a sign of a fault.
INITIAL OPERATION
•
When you first use your dehumidifier it will work hard to reduce the room humidity to your set
target humidity. This is the time when it will produce most of the water and need emptying more
frequently. As the room become dryer, the dehumidifier collects less water. This is normal.
•
Once the power is restored after a power failure, the dehumidifier will continue to operate at the
selected settings prior to the power failure.
