When positioning the
dehumidifier, ensure that
it is placed on a level
surface and that there is a
minimum of 20 cm (8") of
space on either side of
the unit to allow for
efficient airflow.
Heater advice for Dryer
function. The distance
between air vent &
clothes must be kept at
least 40cm to avoid water
drop into machine and
cause damage.
