A dehumidifier removes moisture from the air by passing the moist air over a cold dehumidifying coil. The moisture condenses out of the air on this coil and then drains from the coil into a bucket.

A dehumidifier reduces the relative humidity of the surrounding air two ways. The removal of moisture from the air ( as described above ) reduces its humidity. The relative humidity of the air is further reduced by heating as the air is discharged over the condenser and out the front. The air is actually heated several degrees in this process. It is normal for the surrounding air to slightly increase in temperature as the dehumidifier operates. This heating effect further reduces the relative humidity of the surrounding air.

HOW DOES A HUMIDIFIER WORK?

o Whole –house humidifiers work like the old-fashioned room humidifier: they put moisture into the air. But whole-house humidifiers use water mist, instead of steam, and they keep the entire house at the perfect humidity level. A humidifier is installed in the ductwork, right beside your furnace. Just select the desired amount of humidity and enjoy the moist air that circulates through your home this winter.

What is Humidity?

What Humidity range is recommended for my home?

Between 40-70% RH.

My dehumidifier only removes small amounts of moisture in cold weather. Why?

A dehumidifier's ability to remove moisture is dependent firstly on the amount of moisture in the Air. If dehumidification has reduced the humidity to a low level, less moisture can be removed from the air. It is also more difficult to remove moisture from cold air than warm air.

I use a dehumidifier, but why is there still condensation on the windows in the mornings?

The dehumidifier can take a few weeks to remove the moisture in your home to an acceptable level. Setting the unit to high and leaving it on 24 hours a day best does this. We also recommend the unit be moved from room to room. After a few weeks the unit can then be set to one of the auto modes 50/60/70% and this will maintain the humidity to your desired level. On cold mornings there often is a small amount of condensation on the windows but this will evaporate quickly.

On cold nights it is important to have the dehumidifier running whilst the house is warm - this will result in more moisture being removed than if you start the dehumidifier before you go to bed, and will result in less condensation forming on the windows.

Can I leave my Dehumidifier turned on 24 hours a day?

The unit can be left running unattended. It will switch off automatically when the tank gets full or the required humidity is reached.

Why does the noise level fluctuate?

During operation the compressor in the unit will turn on and off. This will be noticed by an increase in volume.

Why does the defrost lamp light up and the fan stop?

When the room temperature falls below 15 degrees C, the unit may go into defrost mode. Defrost mode will occur every 30 minutes approx, and will last for a few minutes. During defrost mode the fan will stop but the compressor will keep going.

Can I drink the water collected in the tank?

It is not advisable to drink this water as dust and other impurities can collect in the tank. This water however is excellent for houseplants.

My dehumidifier is noisy - is it faulty?

It is important to remember that all dehumidifiers make a noise due to compressors and fans operating. Mitsubishi Oasis dehumidifiers are in fact the quietest products available in NZ. However, they do still make a noise. Noise levels are dependent on many factors. Place the unit on a firm, level surface. A unit placed on a wooden floor will make more noise than a unit on carpet.

Damage during transportation in our experience is the most common reason for excessive noise - it is important that your dehumidifier be handled carefully during transportation and should always be transported upright. The unit will also make more noise when used on a high fan speed setting.

Nothing turns a hot day more oppressive than high humidity. In rooms that don't really merit an air conditioner, or to cut down on the use of an air conditioner, simply run a dehumidifier to make living more bearable.

The recommended humidity level inside your home during the summer is around 40-50%, and high indoor humidity can make you uncomfortable and adversely affect your home. Musty smells, peeling wallpaper, warped wood, blistering paint and moisture dripping from water pipes indicate excessive humidity and the need for a dehumidifier.

Dehumidifiers remove excess humidity by drawing moist room air over cold refrigerated coils. The moisture in the air condenses into droplets as it passes over the cold surfaces in the dehumidifier and into a container. "Dried" air then returns to the room at approximately its original temperature. For best results, the unit should be located in an area closed to outdoor air and where air movement in and out of the unit is not restricted.

To get the most out of a dehumidifier, clean its coils every year and frequently remove the collected water. Keep the unit clear of windows and doors where dehumidified air will leak out. Finally, to get maximum airflow, position it away from windows, walls and large furniture, like sofas or dressers.

If you frequently smell musty odors or feel damp spots on the floors or walls of your basement, laundry room, or storage area during warm, humid weather, you need a dehumidifier.

The recommended humidity level inside your home during the summer is around 40-50%, and very humid conditions over an extended period can leave you uncomfortable and adversely affect your home. Musty smells, peeling wallpaper, warped wood, rusting tools, blistered paint and moisture dripping from pipes are signs of excessive humidity. These conditions are most common during spring and summer.
