Air always contains a certain amount of water in the air in the form of water vapour.

This amount of moisture is commonly known as the humidity.

The capacity of the air to hold water vapour increases with the temperature. This is why in our

homes, as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapour contained in the air condenses, as

is evident on the colder surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls etc.

The purpose of a dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture from the air, to control

condensation within the home.

Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our well being and

preserve objects are obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity. Below these levels the

air can feel too dry and may cause skin complaints and even static electric shocks.

If temperatures in the home are lower than 10°C for prolonged periods low level heating will

be necessary to allow the condensate to evaporate into the air before dehumidification can

take place. The air will however be slightly warmed by the dehumidifier as the dry air leaving

the dehumidifier is about 1°C higher than normal room temperature.

Important I T echnical assistance Keep the list of Technical Service Centres and identify the Centre nearest you. E lectrical connections After moving the appliance, wait at least an hour before turning it on again. Before plugging the appliance into the power socket, check that: • The mains power supply corresponds to the power supply indicated on the rating plate. • The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance. • The power socket matches the plug.

Installation P lace the dehumidifier in a suitable position, a hallway or landing are generally good sites. The appliance must be positioned so that the air intake and air outlet grills are at least 50 cm away from any wall or obstacle to ensure adequate ventilation. Condensate can be drained in one of two ways: A) Draining into the tank The condensate can be drained directly into the tank located inside the appliance (fig. 1).

Cleaning/Warnings M Always remove the plug from the power socket before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations. For safety reasons, never wash the dehumidifier using a water jet. C leaning the cabinet • Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth. • Never use petrol, alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance. • Never spray the appliance with insecticides or similar. These could cause the paint to flake or plastic parts to warp.
