• Do not dry laundry above the unit to prevent water entering the dehumidifier. Place
the laundry at least 40 cm away from your dehumidifier.
• Do not place the unit next to heat sources (e.g. electrical fires, fireplaces, etc.)
• Desiccant dehumidifiers tend to absorb odours from the surrounding environment like
cigarettes, cooking, cosmetics, new furniture etc. This smell described as a burning smell
or sour smell is released during operation as the zeolite disc is heated during operation.
This is not sign of a fault and the smell will fade with the time.
• Do not store or use gasoline, petrol, paint, solvents or other flammable vapours and
liquids in the vicinity of this dehumidifier or any other appliance. Do not use
dehumidifiers where flammable gases or VOC can be released or accumulate.
Energy Saving and Unit Safety Protection Tips
• Do not cover or restrict the airflow from the outlet or inlet grills.
• For maximum performance the minimum distance from a wall should be 20 cm and 40 cm
from objects
• Keep the filters or grills of the unit clean. Under normal conditions, filters or grills should
only need cleaning once every three weeks (approximately). Do not use the unit without the
mesh air filter as this will allow dirt to gather inside the dehumidifier and could invalidate the
warranty. A dirty filter will restrict the air flow into the machine which will increase the
resistance on the fan and could result in damage and might invalidate the warranty.
Since the filters remove airborne particles, more frequent cleaning maybe necessary,
depending on the air quality. Vacuum and wash the mesh filters with hot soapy water and
dry them before placing them back in the unit.
