GENERAL ADVICE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Before putting your dehumidifier into operation for the first time, the instruction manual should
be studied carefully.
• After receiving the unit, you should check your dehumidifier for any transport damage. In case
of damage, you should inform the sender immediately.
• Store the dehumidifier box and packaging in a safe place – this will be required if the
dehumidifier requires a service in the future. In order to save space, you can simply cut through
the adhesive tape using a knife and fold up the cardboard box.
DEHUMIDIFIER PRINCIPLES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This dehumidifier is designed to reduce humidity from the air in a building or part of a building. The
purpose is to help dry laundry, prevent condensation, mould, musty air and other issues associated
with high relative humidity.
The time necessary for the dehumidifier to dry a room and reach the desired relative humidity depends
on the environmental conditions prevailing within the room. For example, the number of air changes
with outside, any sources of moisture, and the room temperature can all either speed up or slow down
the dehumidification process.
The dehumidifier functions according to the condensation principles with heat recovery. The fan takes
the humid air from the room, in and across a filter, and then through an evaporator. Here the air is
cooled below dew point, so that the water vapour of the air forms a condensate on the coils, which flows
into the internal container ready to be poured away. The cooled and dried air is heated again by a
condenser. By recycling the room air through the dehumidifier repeatedly, the moisture content and
relative humidity of the air is reduced.
Always try to avoid installation in direct sunlight as this will affect the accuracy of the relative humidity
reading that the dehumidifier will be using for control.
