PLACEMENT
Your AMCOR dehumidier will begin to protect your home from the harmfu\
l effects 
of excessive moisture as soon as it is turned on.
Excess moisture travels throughout your home, in the same way that cooki\
ng smells 
spread around the house. F or this reason, the dehumidier should be positioned in a 
central and clear location so that it can draw this moist air towards it\
 from all over the 
home. A warm hallway or landing is an excellent position for your dehumi\
dier . 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 dehumidier there and moving it to a more central location at a l\
ater date.
F or the most effective use, run your dehumidier with external doors a\
nd windows 
kept closed . Please note the unit should not be placed directly against\
 a radiator or 
other heat source.
When positioning your AMCOR dehumidier , ensure that it is placed securely on a 
level surface clear of any obstacle that may limit the air movement.
Before you move the unit, switch it off and empty the water tank.
IMPORTANT: Keep a minimal 0.4m safety distance between 
the appliance and any inammable surface.
