IMPORTANT:
The effectiveness of the dehumidifier can be influenced by different factors. One
factor is the rate at which new, moisture-laden air enters the room and the amount of air circulating
in and out of the area to be dehumidified. For example, if a door to a basement is constantly
opened, letting new, moisture-laden air into the room, dehumidification will take longer than
if the door was kept closed. If the dehumidifier is in a room with a storage closet or cabinets, it
will have little or no effect in drying the inside of the storage closet or cabinets unless there
is adequate circulation of air in and out of these spaces. To dehumidify these spaces, open the
storage door or cabinet doors to allow air circulation. You may find that installing a second
dehumidifier may be required for larger enclosed areas.
