How It Works

Fan

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

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. Alternatively,
move the dehumidifier from room to room for more targeted dehumidifying.
When positioning the dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed on a level surface and
that there is a minimum of 30 cm (12") 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.
When the dehumidifier is in operation, outside doors and windows should be closed
for most effective and efficient operation.
