How It Works; Where To Position - Dimplex DC12DE Instruction Manual

How It 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

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 45 cm 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.
