Thank you for
choosing Duux.
We’re so glad you decided to read the instructions to your new Duux dehumidier! Many users casually
dismiss instructions and seek to gure it out on their own. But studies show that people who read
instructions will get up to speed more quickly and eciently than those who poke around with trial and
error.
At Duux we believes in the importance of a comfortable and healthy living environment. Enhancing your
well-being by designing appealing, functional and eective products is the passion that drives us every day.
With our range of innovative air treatment products we aim to provide you the best possible indoor air
quality.
Mistral is the perfect tool to extract high levels of moisture from the air in rooms up to 40m². With its
whisper quiet operation, it can remove up to 15L of moisture per day. The device is equipped with a LED
hygrostat display to set the desired humidity level at 5% accuracy. Mistral’s elegant simplicity is reected
by its sleek black & white casing with a footprint no bigger than a piece of A4 paper. Out of sight features
such as caster wheels, a 2.5L water tank, continuous draining hose and pop-up handle allow ease and
convenience for everyday use.
Read this manual carefully to get the most out of your Mistral dehumidier.

tank is full or removed from the device. Please
empty the water tank or place it in proper
position.
.
• Defrost – indicates the device is defrosting.

Operation mode button
1 Dry clothes – use this mode to speed up wet
clothes drying in a humid environment.
Note: In dry clothes operation mode, the
hygrostat button is disabled.
2Auto – this setting will maintain the humidity on
the set humidity level with the hygrostat button
3 Quiet – Switch to quiet mode for convenience

a room temperature of between 13⁰C and 35⁰C.
The specied dehumidifying performance is only
achievable in a higher temperate range (from 22⁰C)
with a high ambient humidity (>70%). The lowest
recommended operating temperate is 10⁰C. Defrost
mode will automatically activate in case of low
temperatures. The highest operating temperate is
40⁰C with a RH of 90%.
Attention: When operating in dry clothes mode,
keep the clothing at least 50 cm away from the unit
and do not allow water to drip onto the unit.
