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 20 cm space around the unit. This
dehumidifier is designed only for indoor
residential or small office applications and any
commercial or industrial use will invalidate the
warranty.
Use in an enclosed area for maximum
efficiency. Close all doors, windows to create an
effective operating environment. Do not use
outdoors.
Your electriQ dehumidifier will begin to protect 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 force castors to move over carpet or uneven surfaces, nor move the unit with water in the tank as
it may tip over and spill water.
