POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
A badly positioned dehumidifier will have little effect. In positioning the dehumidifier please ensure circulation
of the air is not restricted around the unit. At least 20 cm space should be allowed around the unit.
This dehumidifier is designed for indoor residential / small office applications only and any commercial or
industrial use will invalidate the warranty.
Use the dehumidifier in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. Close all external doors and 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. A warm
hallway or landing is an ideal position for your dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air
circulation between rooms.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier in that
area and moving it to a more central location at a later date. Please note the unit should not be placed directly
against a radiator or other heat source. When positioning your electriQ dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed
clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement, and ensure it is placed on a dry flat surface.
INSTALLATION
Remove any water from the water tank before starting the unit. In order to save energy, do not open windows
or doors while the unit is running. Place the unit on a hard / flat surface. We would advise the unit be left to
run continuously for 24 hours on its first use.
