circulation required, fans can be used in the room. Please
note that the insulation layer may also need to be dried, depending on the nature of
the building defects. This will have to be undertaken by a specialist firm.
Recommended humidity levels for rooms
As a general rule this is dependent on the ambient temperature. The higher the temperature of
the room, the lower the setting for the relative humidity needs to be, otherwise it will
encourage the growth of fungus or mold in the room. A pleasant level
of humidity is between 35% and 65% relative humidity, depending on the ambient
temperature.
The following diagram provides a point of reference for the optimum level of humidity
at different ambient temperatures.
The diagram is based on the assumption that temperatures >=20°C are for living quarters and
temperatures <=20°C are for basement quarters.
Maintenance
The Comedes Demecto 10 is largely maintenance-free. To maintain the level of dehumidifying
efficiency you need to clean the filter at least once a month, or more often if necessary.
To do this, switch off the device, pull the power cable
and remove the water tank at the back of the device. Now you can pull down the nylon filter.
Rinse the filter with warm water and allow to dry.
You can then fit it back on the device.
Check the hose used for the drainage regularly for blockages and damage. If the hose is
