POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little effect. In positioning the dehumidifier please ensure circulation
of air in not restricted around the unit.
Allow at least 20 cm space around the unit. This dehumidifier is designed only for indoor residential or small
office applications and any commercial or industrial use will invalidate the warranty.
Use in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. Close all doors, windows to create an effective operating
environment. Do not use outdoors.
Your electriQ dehumidifier will begin to protect your space from the harmful effects of excessive moisture as
soon as it is turned on. Excess moisture is dispersed throughout your home. For this reason, the dehumidifier
should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over
the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior
doors ajar to allow air circulation.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier there
and moving it to a more central location at a later date. For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier
with external doors and windows kept closed. Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a
radiator or other heat source.
Before moving the appliance the water tank should be emptied. The handle on the appliance is designed to
aid in its movement and should not be used to support the full weight of the dehumidifier. When carrying
the unit, it should be kept upright and suifficiently supported from its base. The handle should not be used
if there is any signs of damage to its fixings.
When positioning your electriQ dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed clear of any obstacle that may limit the
air movement. Place the dehumidifier on a flat dry surface.
Note:
Do not force castors to move over carpet or uneven surfaces, nor move the unit with water in the tank
as it may tip over and spill water.
