Smells and odours
On first use the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might
notice a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the
Zeolite desiccant material and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty,
nor is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the
desiccant disc absorbs odours from ambient like cooking smells,
cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture
and then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged back
into the room. This smell has been described as being like a burning
smell or acrid smell. It is normal, will not last long and is not a sign of a
fault. You can clear it by running the dehumidifier in a separate
ventilated space like a garage or if it is dry – outside.
Amount of water collected and size of the tank
• When you first use your dehumidifier it will work harder to reduce
the room humidity down to 50%rh (in “High” mode). This is the time
when it will produce the most water and need emptying most frequently
3-4 times / day. As the room becomes dryer the dehumidifier collects
less water and will takes longer to fill the tank, this is perfectly normal.
When the target relative humidity has been reached the dehumidifier
will stop collecting water and going longer in standby, this is normal
operation. The intelligent logic of your machine will save you money.
• Unless you dry clothes, you can use the unit on
• If you find that you still have condensation on your windows or you
need to dry the air further then us the “High” mode. This might well be
necessary if you have single glazed windows, house that is poorly
insulated or if the outside air temperature drops towards freezing. Using
in High mode will add more heat to your room and reduce your heating
bill as dry air will heat quicker.
• For unoccupied properties, garages or boats use “Medium” or “Low”
mode according to your needs. That will ensure minimum power
consumption while will prevent moisture related issues.
