Positioning the unit

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless
there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
● Do not use outdoors.
● This dehumidifer is intended for indoor residential applications only.
This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial
applications.
● Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to
support the unit with a full bucket of water.
● Allow at least 20cm of air space on all sides of the unit for good air
circulation.
● Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall
below 5°C(41°F). The coils can become covered with frost at
temperatures below 5°C(41°F), which may reduce performance.
● Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or radiator.
● Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or
valuables are stored.
● Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture
