3. OPERATION
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE UNIT!
Transportable dehumidifiers are ideal for the home and office. They improve the indoor climate, leading to a
healthy environment. Dehumidifiers prevent mould and fungus while keeping the relative air humidity low,
which ensures unfavourable conditions for dust mites.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON DEHUMIDIFIERS:
You may only see water in the water tank after approximately 8 days of using the dehumidifier for the following
reasons:
• after transportation, the fuel in the dehumidifier needs time to ‘settle’.
• the built-in hygrostat needs time to determine the relative humidity of the room.
• there is a pipe linked to the permanent drain that must be filled up with water (happens automatically) before
the water begins to drip down into the water tank.
The air dehumidifier is suitable for dehumidifying a room of up to 60m3. However, this depends on the ambient
temperature and the relative humidity. The effect of the air dehumidifier is higher at a combination of high tem-
perature and high air humidity. A relative humidity of around 50% and below is recommended for living areas.
