How the Dehumidifier Operates
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses
on this coil and drains into a bucket (or through
a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser
where it is heated and discharged out the top grille
into the room.
It is normal that the surrounding air to become
slightly warmer as the dehumidifier operates.

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.
