UNDERSTANDING AND USING A DEHUMIDIFIER How does a dehumidifier work? There are four types of dehumidifier sold to the domestic market in the UK - compressor (this dehumidifier), desiccant, peltier and silica gel. A compressor based dehumidifier draws the air in from the room over a filter and passes it over some cold coils similar to the coils on a fridge. As the coils are cold, water condenses and drips into a bucket. The air is then reheated to room temperature and blown back out of the dehumidifier.
UNDERSTANDING AND USING A DEHUMIDIFIER Are they expensive to run? A compressor based dehumidifier costs about 2-3p(ish) an hour to run. You should take into consideration the fact that the dehumidifier will not run all the time, as it will be controlled via its humidistat. Secondly it is very expensive to heat a damp house and you will see a reduction in your central heating bill when you start to use your dehumidifier.
DEHUMIDIFIER SETUP AND USE Place the dehumidifier in an upright position on a stable, flat surface. Please ensure the unit is a safe distance away from a wall or furniture. Please keep clothes at a safe distance of 40cm away from the air inlet or outlet to prevent water from dripping into the unit. Ensure the tank is correctly fitted, if the tank is full or is not in place, the “Empty Tank” light comes on, an alarm will sound and the dehumidifier will turn off.
EMPTYING THE WATER When the water tank is full : - An alarm signal will sound - The dehumidifier will stop automatically. - Empty the water tank and replace it in the correct position. The dehumidifier will start to work again and the compressor will start up after three minutes. If the “Empty tank” light stays on and the unit does not start up then the tank is not correctly fitted.
