When Operating; Positioning The Dehumidifier - Panasonic F-YHC12X Operating Instructions Manual

When operating

● This dehumidifier is not an air conditioner.
It can emit cool air, but unlike an air conditioner it cannot cool an entire room.
When used in an enclosed space, the room temperature may rise instead.
The room temperature may rise while the dehumidifier is in operation, but this
●
is normal.
Heat is emitted while in operation, so the room temperature may rise depending on the
conditions of use (outside air temperature, room size, etc.). (This rise in temperature can
be from 3°C to 8°C for "Dehumid./Hi" or "Dry Clothes" operation, or from 1°C to 2°C for
other operation.)
Humidity varies according to the temperature, even if there is the same
●
amount of moisture in the air.
Humidity can also vary according to airflow. Accordingly, the Humidity indicator on
the unit may differ from a room humidity gauge due to differences in air temperature
and airflow.
● Existing indoor odors may be reproduced from the air outlet.
( see page 24 for information on odors from the unit.)
● Operation is possible at room temperatures from 1°C to 40°C, and at humidity
above 20%.
At room temperatures outside this range, dehumidifying operation will stop and only
air circulation will be performed. Additionally, when the humidity is below 20%, the
unit will stop all operation as a protective measure.
( see page 25 for information about when the Alert indicator lights up.)
● Do not tip over or tilt the unit.
→ If the unit tips over, return it to the upright position at once. (
● Even when the dehumidifier operates, condensation and mold may appear
on windows facing the outside or in areas with poor ventilation (such as behind
furniture).

Positioning the dehumidifier

Place the unit in a flat and stable
location to prevent it from tipping
over and spilling water.
Keep the unit at least 1 m away from a TV or
radio. Otherwise, image disturbance or white
noise may occur.

When using the unit near walls or
furniture, be sure to separate by the
distances shown.
(If ventilation is poor, the temperature
may rise and may result in breakdown
of the unit. In addition, the Humidity
indicator may work incorrectly.)
Do not use the dehumidifier
while the power cord
is pulled tight.
It may cause a short-circuit or damage the
No!
wires inside the cord, and fire or electric
shocks may occur.
