dehumidifier has to remove all the moisture that is initially in your home. The home acts
like a sponge so the moisture in the materials of your home is at the same level as the air.
After drying the air, the materials of the home will release moisture back into the air until
they are again at the same level. As a result, it is not uncommon for the dehumidifier to
operate for an extended period when first installed.
3. After three (3) minutes of sampling, the measured humidity will be compared to the setting:

is lowered.
