How It Works

W hen the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. M oisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.

The unit is designed to operate between 41 F (5 C ), and 96 F (35 C ).

If the unit is switched off and needs to be switched on again, wait three minutes before doing so.

M ake sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.
