FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why doesn’t the dehumidifier seem to extract much water if the temperature is low?
This is a compressor dehumidifier which works best in temperatures above 59℉ (15⁰C). If the
temperature is low and the air is dryer than the setting on the humidistat,the unit will not extract
water. If you want to use a dehumidifier for outside buildings, unheated properties, boats or
garages,pls check our desiccant range. Why doesn’t the unit work /or stops suddenly?
The water tank may be full or displaced. To rectify: empty the tank and carefully place the tank
back in the unit. Also the unit may be running in dehumidifying mode with a low room
temperature. Please check if the room temperature is lower than 41℉(5⁰C). If so, the unit will stop
working while in dehumidifying mode.(unit may be defrosted).
The ambient operating range is between 41℉(5⁰C) and 95℉(35⁰C) with a relative humidity ranging
from 30% to 80%. For maximum efficiency use the unit between 59℉(15⁰C) and 89.6℉(32⁰C).
