WELCOME
Thank you and congratula+ons for choosing an EcoSeb dehumidifier to help you improve the air quality within your home. Inside you will find many helpful +ps on how to use and maintain your dehumidifier efficiently. Just a li5le preventa+ve care can save you money and prolong the life of your dehumidifier.
The purpose of the dehumidifier is to remove the excess moisture in the air by detec+ng the humidity level in the room. By keeping humidity within recommended levels, a dehumidifier combats household damp, mould and mildew. Dehumidifiers can help to reduce the symptoms of asthma, allergies, and other respiratory health condi+ons. They can also be used to help dry laundry quicker and control moisture-based damage (such as the a:ermath of flooding, leaks or rising damp) to valuable belongings and furniture.
HUMIDITY GUIDE
There will always be water vapour in the air. The water vapour (or commonly known as moisture) in the air is measured in % Rela+ve Humidity (RH). RH is the ra+o of the actual amount of water vapour in the air to the amount it could hold when saturated expressed as a percentage. Too much or too li5le moisture in our homes can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The op+mum humidity level is between 40% and 60% (RH) where we feel most comfortable.
TOO DRY COMFORTABLE TOO WET
LOW HUMIDITY
Low humidity indoors causes excess drying which can trigger skin irrita+ons such as eczema, chapped skin and dry nose. It can also damage possessions, such as wooden furniture, musical instruments and artwork by drying it out too much.
HIGH HUMIDITY
High humidity indoors causes damp and condensa+on. The damp le: by condensa+on can damage plaster, wall paper, furniture, vehicles, +mber windows, doors and clothes. It can be harmful to our health when bacteria thrives, causing mould and fungus.
MAINTAINING SAFE LEVELS OF HUMIDITY
It is important to maintain a consistent humidity range to preserve furniture, pain+ngs, door and window frames. High humidity causes swelling, corrosion, so:ening of glues and paint. Low humidity causes shrinking, cracking, warping of wood surfaces and gaps in joints, doors and windows. Frequent changes in humidity levels can accelerate damages to property and belongings.
CONDENSATION
The warmer the air, the more moisture the air can hold than colder air. So, when the air inside the house becomes colder, the moisture contents in the air becomes saturated, and gets heavier resul+ng in moisture concentra+on on the coldest parts of the house par+cularly on the windows, bathroom mirrors and walls. This is condensa+on, caused by a sudden increase in humidity, cooking, showers, drying clothes, inadequate ven+la+on and poor thermal insula+on.
Condensa+on does not disappear instantly even with the dehumidifier on. Where excessive condensa+on appears for example, on your windows, you may want to open your windows to expel the excess humidity for several minutes. It will take a while for the condensa+on to generally increase the humidity in the room. Once the humidity level in the room around the dehumidifier is increased above the level you have set on the dehumidifier, it will then begin the dehumidifica+on process.

QUICK START UP
STEP 1 - WHERE TO POSITION YOUR DEHU-
MIDIFIER?
Ensure the unit is a safe distance away from a wall or furniture, away from direct sunlight.
TIP: Posi+on the dehumidifier in the dampest room or somewhere central like a landing or a hallway. As long as the internal doors are open the excess moisture from all of the rooms in the house will migrate naturally towards the dehumidifier and be processed.
STEP 2 - CAUTION - AVOID USING IN
• Small confined area i.e. broom cupboard, boiler room, unven+lated rooms etc.
• Close proximity to a heat source such as heater, tumble dryer, cooker.
• Dusty or building sites or an industrial environment where par+cles can clog up the filter or internal components. This will cause the unit to malfunc+on, voiding your warranty.

USEFUL INFORMATION USEFUL INFORMATION
• A:er turning the dehumidifier OFF using the
ON/OFF bu5on, the fan will con+nue to run for a two minute period. This is a normal procedure and helps to cool & protect the internal components. During this two minutes DO NOT remove the power plug from the power socket; wait for the fan to stop running.
• When you first use the dehumidifier and periodically therea:er you may no+ce a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant material and is NOT a sign that the dehumidifier is faulty, nor is it harmful to humans or pets. Odour will reduce gradually, this is normal. Ven+late the room if necessary to reduce the odour.
• When you first use your dehumidifier it will work harder to reduce the room humidity to it's target of i.e. 50-60%RH (on Auto mode), this is the +me when it will produce the most water and need emptying most frequently.
As the room becomes drier the dehumidifier collects less water and runs at a lower fan speed.
• The Zeolite absorbs odours from items such as cigare5es, cosme+cs, hair sprays, building materials and new furniture and then when the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into the room. (This smell has been described as being like a burning smell or a sour smell). This is normal and will NOT last long, nor is it a sign of a fault.
• Once the power is restored a:er a power failure, the dehumidifier will con+nue to operate at the selected seEngs prior to the power failure.
