Y our AMCOR dehumidifier will begin to protect your home from the harmful \
effects 
of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on.
Excess moisture travels throughout your home, in the same way cooking sm\
ells 
spread around the house. F or this reason, the dehumidifier should be positioned in a 
central and clear location so that it can draw the moist air from all ov\
er the home. 
A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumidifier . If possible, 
leave interior doors ajar to allow air circulation.
Alternatively , if you have a serious problem in one area you can begin by positioning\
 
the dehumidifier there and moving it to a more central location at a lat\
er date.
F or the most effective use, run your dehumidifier with external doors and\
 windows 
kept closed. Please note the unit should not be 
placed directly against a radiator or other heat source.
When positioning your AMCOR dehumidifier , ensure that it is placed securely on a 
level surface clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement.
Y our AMCOR dehumidifier is fitted with 4 wheels for easy movement. Before\
 you 
move the unit, switch it off and empty the water tank.
IMPORT ANT:
Keep a minimal 0.2 m safety distance between the appliance and an electr\
ical heater 
or any inflammable surface.
