How a Dehumidifier works
This product is a dehumidifier. It controls relative humidity by passing the air through
the unit, forcing the excess moisture to condensate over the cooling elements.
Contact with this cold surface causes the moisture in the air to condense. This
condensed water then drains safely into the water tank. The dried air then passes
through the condenser where it is slightly warmed and re-enters the room at a
slightly elevated temperature.

Where to position the unit
Excess moisture will travel throughout your home, in the same way that cooking
smells waft to every room in the house. For this reason, the dehumidifier should be
positioned, so that it can draw this moist air towards it from all over the home.
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the
dehumidifier close to this area and later moving it to a more central point.
When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and that
there is a minimum of 10 cm (4") of space on either side of the unit to allow for efficient
airflow.
This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for extra mobility, if you move the unit, it
should first be switched off and the water tank emptied.
We do not recommend the use of an extension lead, so please try to ensure that the unit
is sufficiently close to a fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to use am extension lead,
please ensure the diameter of the wires of the cable is at least 1 mm
2
.
When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed
when necessary for most efficient use.
