A dehumidi er is not an air conditioner, but rather an appliance that is used to control relative humidity by
reducing the moisture in the ambient air. This is done by passing air through the dehumidi er. When the air
passes through the cooling elements within the appliance, it causes the excess moisture to condensate and
safely drain into the water tank. The dry air is then passed through the condenseer to warm slightly before
returning it into the ambient air.
Positioning The Dehumidi er
Moisture travels through the air much the same way scents and smells do. Because moisture moves with air
ow, position the dehumidi er in a location that can draw the most air. The e ectiveness will be increased
when placed in a location where it is able to draw the most mosture from all directions and circulate the air
around the room.
If you have an area or location that is speci cally in need of dehumidi ng, place the appliance in the
a ected area until the humidity is reduced, then relocate the dehumidi er to a more central location for
best air circulation.
When placing the dehumidi er, ensure it is on a at and level surface. The dehumidi er may vibrate or
operate less e ciently if the surface is not level.
The dehumidi er is tted with castors for mobility purposes. If you wish to move the dehumidi er, ensure it
is rst switched o and the water tank is emptied.
It is not reccommended to connect the appliance to an extension lead. Ensure to place the dehumidi er
near to a xed power socket.
During operation, exterior doors and windows should be closed to ensure appliance e ciency.
