FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & TROUBLESHOOTING
Does the Zeolite need replacing?
No there is no need for replacement. The Zeolite is regenerated within the
dehumidifier and this will last for many years.
Are dehumidifiers expensive to run?
For the first month upon its initial operation, the dehumidifier operates
at its maximum in order to calibrate in its working environment. As time
passes, this will gradually reduce, since the dehumidifier will be controlled
via its humidistat. In regards to damp houses, the use of a dehumidifier may
lower your central billing costs significantly.
Do desiccant dehumidifiers generate an unpleasant smell?
During the first days of usage and periodically afterwards you might notice
a smell coming from the dehumidifier. This is caused by the Zeolite desiccant
material and is not a sign that the dehumidifier is not working properly nor
is it harmful to humans or pets. The smell occurs because the Zeolite absorbs
odors from items like cigarettes, cosmetics, hair sprays, building materials
and new furniture, and as the desiccant is heated the smell is discharged into
the room. You can clear it by running the dehumidifier in a separate space
like a garage or – if it is dry – outside.
Where would it be better to place the dehumidifier?
For optimal results, it is suggested to place the dehumidifier in a central
area, like a hallway. Leave the doors open and the moisture will migrate
naturally towards the device to be processed.
Can we replace the filter with one of other type like HEPA filter etc.?
No, the filter can’t be replaced.
Which is the appropriate room humidity level?
The suggested humidity range fluctuates between 40% and 60%. This level of
an average humidity ensures the greatest comfort for you and your family,
preventing allergies or diseases, and keeps your home healthy and well
maintained, in terms of plasterboards, dye exfoliation, wood furniture and any
other equipment or material that is susceptible to the harmful consequences of
extremely high humidity conditions.
Why there is still condensation from the windows, even by using the
dehumidifier?
When the room reaches the preferred humidity level, there is a possibility
of humidity appearance on windows. This happens due to the temperature
difference of the room’s and external ambient temperature. Keep running the
dehumidifier and when the air temperature outside increases the windows should
clear of condensation.
The dehumidifier is not a heating device. What could be the cause of warm
air being extracted?
The desiccant dehumidifier Rise Pro, operates with an electrical resistance
that warms up the desiccant material. As a result, the temperature of the
outgoing air has been increased to 10°C comparing to the room’s temperature.
This doesn’t denote in any case that this device can be used as a heating
appliance.
Why the dehumidifier does not collect water inside the water tank during
the operation?
The dehumidifier has a separate FAN ONLY function, during which no
dehumidification takes place. Please check if you have selected this mode and
try to adjust the humidity levels. If the relevant button beeps without any
change, then try to turn off the FAN ONLY function following the steps from
this user’s manual.
