WELCOME
Thank you and congratulaons for choosing an EcoAir dehumidier to help you control the Relave
Humidity within your home. Inside this manual you will nd many helpful ps on how to use and
maintain your dehumidier eciently. Just a lile preventave care can save you money and pro-
long the life of your dehumidier.
The purpose of the dehumidier is to remove the excess moisture in the air by detecng the humidity
level in the room. By keeping humidity within recommended levels, a dehumidier combats
household damp, mould and mildew. Dehumidiers can help to reduce the symptoms of asthma,
allergies, and other respiratory health condions. They can also be used to help dry laundry quicker
and control moisture-based damage (such as the aermath of ooding, leaks or rising damp) to
valuable belongings and furniture.
HUMIDITY GUIDE
There will always be water vapour in the air. The water vapour (or commonly known as moisture) in
the air is measured in % Relave Humidity (RH). RH is the rao of the actual amount of water vapour
in the air to the amount it could hold when saturated expressed as a percentage. Too much or too
lile moisture in our homes can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The opmum humidity level is
between 40% and 60% (RH) where we feel most comfortable.
LOW HUMIDITY
Low humidity indoors causes excess drying which can trigger skin irritaons such as eczema, chapped
skin and dry nose. It can also damage possessions, such as wooden furniture, musical instruments
and artwork by drying it out too much.
HIGH HUMIDITY
High humidity indoors causes damp and condensaon. The damp le by condensaon can damage
plaster, wall paper, furniture, vehicles, mber windows, doors and clothes. It can be harmful to our
health when bacteria thrives, causing mould and fungus.
MAINTAINING SAFE LEVELS OF HUMIDITY
It is important to maintain a consistent humidity range to preserve furniture, painngs, door and
window frames. High humidity causes swelling, corrosion, soening of glues and paint. Low
humidity causes shrinking, cracking, warping of wood surfaces and gaps in joints, doors and windows.
Frequent changes in humidity levels can accelerate damages to property and belongings.
CONDENSATION
The warmer the air, the more moisture the air can hold than colder air. So, when the air inside the
house becomes colder, the moisture contents in the air becomes saturated, and gets heavier
resulng in moisture concentraon on the coldest parts of the house parcularly on the windows,
bathroom mirrors and walls. This is condensaon, caused by a sudden increase in humidity, cooking,
showers, drying clothes, inadequate venlaon and poor thermal insulaon.
Condensaon does not disappear instantly even with the dehumidier on. Where excessive
condensaon appears for example, on your windows, you may want to open your windows to expel
the excess humidity for several minutes. It will take a while for the condensaon to generally
increase the humidity in the room. Once the humidity level in the room around the dehumidier is
increased above the level you have set on the dehumidier, it will then begin the dehumidicaon
process.

USEFUL INFORMATION
• When you rst use the dehumidier and
periodically thereaer you may noce a smell
coming from the dehumidier. This is caused
by the Zeolite desiccant material and is NOT a
sign that the dehumidier is faulty, nor is it
harmful to humans or pets. Odour will reduce
gradually, this is normal. Venlate the room if
necessary to reduce the odour.
• The Zeolite absorbs odours from items such as
cigarees, cosmecs, hair sprays, building
materials and new furniture and then when
the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged
into the room. (This smell has been described
as being like a burning smell or a sour smell).
This is normal and will NOT last long, nor is it a
sign of a fault.
• Once the power is restored aer a power
failure, the appliance will connue to operate
at the selected sengs prior to the power
failure.
USEFUL INFORMATION
• Aer turning the dehumidier OFF, the fan
will connue to run for a two minute period.
This is a normal procedure and helps to cool
& protect the internal components. During
these two minutes DO NOT remove the
power plug from the power socket; wait for
the fan to stop running.
• When you rst use your dehumidier it will
work harder to reduce the room humidity to
it's target of i.e. approximately 50-60%RH
(on Auto mode), this is the me when it will
produce the most water and need emptying
most frequently. As the room becomes drier
the dehumidier collects less water and runs
at a lower fan speed.
