FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why doesn't the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is
low?
This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 15
o
C. If
the temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat the unit
will not extract water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated
properties, boats or garages please check our desiccant range.
Why doesn't the unit work /or stops suddenly?
The water tank may be full or displaced. To rectify: empty the tank and carefully
place the tank back in the unit. Also, the unit may be running in dehumidifying mode
with a low room temperature. Please check if the room temperature is lower than
5
o
C. If so, the unit will stop working while in dehumidifying mode. (unit may be
defrosting). The ambient operating range is between 5
o
C and 35
o
C with a relative
humidity ranging from 30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between
15
o
C and 32
o
C.
Sometimes cold and/or hot air comes out from the air outlet grill, why? When the
unit is in dehumidifying mode it absorbs humid air from room and freezes it to reduce
the humidity.
During the cold cycle there should be cold air coming out of the unit During
the hot cycle hot dry air should be coming out of the outlet grill.
