Solution
Insert the plug into the wall outlet.
Remove the water from the container.
Place the water container in the correct position.
Clean the air filter.
The machine does not dehumidify below 1°C, it is
highly unlikely at that temperature that there is
any moisture to remove anyway.
The dehumidifier dries down to the target relative
humidity set and then goes into fan only mode
until the relative humidity goes above the set point
again.
We recommend using a dehumidifier with a
greater capacity.
We recommend using a dehumidifier with a
greater capacity. Consider using a different heat
source to a calor gas heater.
Reduce ventilation (e.g. close windows and shut
doors.)
Clean the air filter.
Use the dehumidifier on Maximum and run it 24
hours a day.
Keep running the dehumidifier on Maximum 24
hours a day and when the air temperature outside
increases the windows should clear of
condensation.
This is normal, a dehumidifier is not an air cooler.
