Position the appliance in the room to be dehumidified. Please follow the minimum distances between the appliance and furniture or walls, as stated in fig. Failure to do so would obstruct ventilation, jeopardising correct operation of the appliance. You should keep all doors and windows closed while the appliance is in operation. If doors and windows are opened, the temperature and humidity in the room may change and it could therefore require longer to dehumidify the room. With temperatures of less than 1 °C or above 40 °C, dehumidification is automatically deactivated and the appliance switches to fan only mode. 50 cm
If the humidity is lower than 20%, the safety circuit triggers automatically and the dehumidifier shuts down to avoid damage. If the humidity in the room drops, the dehumidification capacity is automatically reduced. Even when the room is dehumidified, condensation and mould may form externally or in poorly ventilated points, for example behind furniture.
