Assembly

Use

Correct use of pipes

Option 1 – Place the dehumidifier in the room to be dehumidified

Option 2 – Place the dehumidifier outside the room to be dehumidified

REMEMBER!

• Pipe lengths should be as short as possible to minimize pressure loss and to reduce the risk of condensation.
• All connections must be airtight to ensure full performance.
• The air pipes must be insulated when there is a risk of frost.
• The air intake should be positioned to avoid the accumulation of dust, rain and snow or contaminants such as engine exhaust, steam and harmful fumes.
• Wet air ducts must resist corrosion and withstand temperatures up to 70 °C.
• The air filters must be used to prevent impurities from entering the machine.
• Regular cleaning and replacement of the air filter is necessary for optimal performance.

Maintenance

NOTE: A clogged air filter will reduce the dehumidification capacity of the machine .

This dehumidifier is designed for continuous use over a long period of time with minimal supervision. Under normal operating conditions, maintenance requirements are minimal. The service interval depends mainly on the operating conditions and the working environment.
