2.
The operation of your dehumidifier will depend entirely on the surrounding environment. The
machine will cycle 26L of water a day in an environment of 30°C and 80% Relative Humidity.
In lesser environment conditions the machine will not extract similar amounts, this does not
mean the machine is not working, it just means there is not enough moisture in the air to
extract. An example would be using the machine in summer versus winter.
PLEASE NOTE – If the tank is not filling with water it’s likely due to environment conditions
and not a fault with the machine, in other words there is no moisture in the air to collect. If
you’re at all unsure then please don’t hesitate to contact us on 012-661-1173 or
www.gmcaircon.co.za for further assistance.
