@2021 EcoAir
Thank you and congratulaons for choosing an EcoAir dehumidier to help you improve the air quality within your environment.
Inside 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 prolong 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.
Condensaon
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.

INSTALLATION
FIND A SUITABLE POSITION
• Posion the dehumidier in the dampest room or somewhere central like a landing or a hallway. As
long as the internal doors are open, the excess moisture from all of the room in the house will
migrate naturally towards the dehumidier and be processed.
• If there is a problemac area or a room in a high humidity level, use a hygrometer to measure
(available to purchase at ecoair.org) in the property, you may wish to place it in that area inially.
Once the problem is seled you may wish to relocate to the locaon above.
• Please refer to the important safeguards on the previous pages when posioning the dehumidier,
such as a safe distance away from the wall, avoid conned areas, ensure oor is even and level
surface.
INSTALLING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
• Unpack the dehumidier and plug in to the socket.
• Ensure there is a minimum distance of 40 cm around the dehumidier.
• Check that the dehumidier is level to avoid any water leaks.
• Turn on the dehumidier to start dehumidicaon.
ZEOLITE
• 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.
• 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.
INITIAL OPERATION
• When you rst use your dehumidier it will work hard to reduce the room humidity to your set
target humidity. This is the me when it will produce most of the water and need emptying more
frequently. As the room become dryer, the dehumidier collects less water. This is normal.
• Once the power is restored aer a power failure, the dehumidier will connue to operate at the
selected sengs prior to the power failure.
PLEASE READ IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS BEFORE INSTALLATION

SETUP CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE
Use a hose with an inner diameter of 11.5mm for connuous drainage:
1. Remove the Water Tank (A7)
2. Remove the Tank Plug (A9) from the Connuous Drainage Outlet (A8) at the boom of the
water tank (store safely as you will need to plug it when not using the connuous drainage).
3. Insert the Connuous Drainage Hose (B1) into the Connuous Drainage Outlet (A8).
4. Reinsert the water tank to the correct posion.
5. The Connuous Drainage Hose (B1) must lead to an appropriate drain at a downward slope with
no sharp bends.
NOTE:
• Ensure the tank and the hose are securely ed in posion before turning the
dehumidier on.
• Never leave the end of connuous drainage hose outside when the temperature is
below 1°C to avoid leakage. (When the outdoor temperature is at freezing point the
water will not ow freely and this will cause a blockage consequently pushing the any
condensaon back to the dehumidier and leakage will occur).
