Smell coming from the de humidifier when the first use:		The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs odors from items like cigarettes, cosmetics, and building materials, and discharged when the desiccant is heated. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of fault.
Need emptying frequently when the first use:		As the room becomes dryer, the dehumidifier collects less water.
