How It Works; Where To Position - Dimplex DACDEHU2 User 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 10 cm (4") 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
when necessary for most efficient use.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use this unit at ambient temperatures below 5°C, to prevent the possibility icing
up the evaporating coil.
