Where to position
Excess moisture will travel throughout
your home, in the same way that
cooking smells waft to every room in
the house. For this reason, the
dehumidifier should be positioned, so
that it can draw this moist air towards
it from all over the home.
Alternatively, if you have a serious
problem in one area you can begin
by positioning the dehumidifier close
to this area and later moving it to a
more central point.
When positioning the dehumidifier,
ensure that it is placed on a level
surface and that there is a minimum of
10 cm (4") of space on either side of
the unit to allow for efficient airflow.
This dehumidifier is fitted with castors for
extra mobility, if you move the unit, it
should first be switched off and the
water tank emptied.
We do not recommend the use of an
extension lead, so please try to ensure
that the unit is sufficiently close to a
fixed mains socket. If it is necessary to
use am extension lead, please ensure
the diameter of the wires of the cable
is at least 1 mm2.
When the dehumidifier is in operation,
outside doors and windows should be
closed when necessary for most
efficient use .

Please note, in case, the water tank has not been positioned well, the water full indicator will turn into red.
FIG.1
FIG.2
Continuous drainage
When the dehumidifier is operated at very high humidity levels, the water tank will require more frequent drainage. In
this situation, it may be more convenient to set the unit up for continuous drainage with the following procedures:
1. Connect the drain hole with a water tube of inner diameter 12mm. (FIG.3) * Please note the water tube is not
supplied with the unit.
2. Ensure the water will always drain away freely and the tube will remain in right place.
* Note! In very cold weather conditions, precautions should be taken to prevent the water tube from freeing.
