POSITIONING THE DEHUMIDIFIER 
A  badly  positioned  dehumidifier  will  have  little  effect.  In  positioning  the  dehumidifier  please  ensure 
circulation of air in not restricted around the unit.  
Allow at least 50 cm space to the sides and back of the unit, and 100cm to the front. This dehumidifier is 
designed only for indoor applications. 
Use in an enclosed area for maximum efficiency. Close all doors, windows to create an effective operating 
environment. 
Your electriQ dehumidifier will extract water from the air, protecting your space from the harmful effects 
of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on. Excess moisture is dispersed throughout your home. For 
this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a central and clear location so that it can draw this 
moist air towards it from all over the home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your 
dehumidifier. If possible, leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation.  
Alternatively, if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning the dehumidifier there 
and moving it to a more central location at a later date. For the most effective use, run your dehumidifier 
with external doors and windows kept closed. Please note the unit should not be placed directly against a 
radiator or other heat source. 
When positioning your electriQ dehumidifier, ensure that it is placed clear of any obstacle that may limit 
the air movement. Place the dehumidifier on a flat dry surface.  
Note: Do not move the unit with water in the tank as it may tip over and spill water.
