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 / 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.
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.
Water Drainage
When the water tank is full, the unit will stop automatically. When this happens the tank full red
light will show on the control panel.
Note: Only empty the water tank when is full or before moving or storing the unit.
There are two ways to dispense collected water.
1. Use the tank.
When the tank is full, the unit will automatically
stop running, the unit will beep and the tank full
indicator light will flash. Slowly pull out the tank
using both hands. Grip tank securely, and carefully
pull out. Carry the tank by its handle, discard the
water and reinsert the tanks into the dehumidifier.
The tank must be in place and securely seated for
the dehumidifier to operate again. The
dehumidifier will re-start when the tank is
restored in its correct position.
