Description

Some notions on humidity

• Air always contains a certain quantity of water in the form of vapour; this determines the degree of humidity in a room. The capacity of air to contain water vapour increases as its temperature increases.
• This is why in our homes, as soon as the temperature drops, the air releases the water vapour contained in it, turning into condensation, which appears on all cold surfaces such as windows, walls etc.
• The dehumidifier is an electric appliance that extracts humidity from the air, avoiding the damage that it causes. Studies have established that the ideal conditions for our health and home are achieved when relative humidity is between 40% and 60%. With very low temperatures, you are recommended to heat the room even minimally.
• This will increase the dehumidifying capacity of the appliance considerably.
• This is the only way, in fact, to allow the condensation that forms on the windows and other cold surfaces to evaporate into the air and be collected by the dehumidifier. The air released by the dehumidifier is, however, generally warmer than the air in the room.

Cleaning and maintenance /Features

Always unplug the appliance from the power socket before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations.

For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a jet of water

Cleaning the cabinet

• Clean with a slightly damp cloth and dry with a dry cloth.
• Do not use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Do not spray liquid insecticide or similar products as they may deform the plastic.

Cleaning the anti-bacteria air filter

If the filter is dirty, air circulation is compromised and consequentially the efficiency of the dehumidifier decreases. It is therefore good practice to clean the filter at regular intervals. Frequency depends on the conditions and duration of operation. If the appliance is used constantly or frequently it is advisable to clean the filter once a week.

• Once the tank has been taken out, remove the filter by pulling it downwards (fig. 6).

• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from the filter.

If the filter is very dirty, rinse it well with warm water. The temperature of the water must notexceed40°C. After washing the filter allow it to dry completely before putting it back in place. The anti-bacteria filter, in addition to trapping dust particles, has an anti-bacterial action.

Furthermore, it considerably reduces other irritating agents such as pollen and spores.

For long periods of downtime

• After unplugging the appliance from the power socket, empty the tank.
• Clean the filter and put it back in.
• Cover the appliance with a plastic bag to protect it from dust.
