HOW THE DEHUMIDIFIER WORKS
Your Bionaire™ dehumidifier draws moisture
laden air through the intake grill on the top of the
appliance. Humid air passes through refrigerated
coils where the moisture is removed and collected in
the water reservoir.
For optimum performance, it is not recommended
to use this appliance in environments where the
temperature exceeds 37º C or is lower than 5º C.
The unit should only be used indoors in such areas
as a living room or bedroom. Never use it outdoors.
Make sure doors and windows are closed before
using the appliance.
BEFORE USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
1. Select a location for your dehumidifier, on a flat/
level surface, about 10 cm away from the wall.
2. Place unit on a stable and flat floor surface. If the
floor surface is not even, there is a risk the unit
might be unstable or topple over. Also, it may
result in excessive vibration and noise.
3. For 120 volt countries: Plug the power cord into
a 110-120V AC electrical outlet.
For 220 volt countries: Plug the power cord into
a 220-240 AC electrical outlet.
