FREQUENTLYASKEDQUESTIONS
Smellsandodours
On first use of the dehumidifier and periodically afterwards you might notice a smell coming from the
dehumidifier.ThisiscausedbytheZeolitedesiccantmaterialandisnotasignthatthedehumidifierisfaulty,
nor is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs
because the desiccant disc absorbs odours from
ambient like cooking smells, cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and
then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged back into the room. This smell has been
describedasbeinglikeaburningoracridsmell.Itisnormal,

You can clear it by running the dehumidifier in a separate ventilated space like a garage or if it is dry –
outside.

producethemostwaterandassuchwillrequireemptyingmostfrequently(even2Ͳ3times/day).As
the
room becomes dryer, the dehumidifier collects less water and it will take longer to fill the tank, this is
perfectly normal.When the target relative humidity has been reached the dehumidifier will stop
collecting water and will operate for longer periods in fan only mode, this is normal operation.
