17. To repair the unit, take it to a qualified service engineer. Repairs carried out by unqualified people
may cause damage to the unit or injury to persons or property and void the warranty.
18. Where possible, avoid the use of an extension cable as they may overheat and cause a risk of fire.
Only use an extension cord after ensuring it is in perfect condition. Extension leads can also cause
voltage drop which will affect the dehumidifier. This is more likely when being used in garages and out
buildings.
19. Do not use the unit without the air filter as this will allow dirt to gather inside the dehumidifier and
could invalidate the warranty.
20. Check the filter regularly in order to keep it clean. A dirty filter will restrict the air flow into the
machine which will increase the resistance on the fan and could result in damage and might invalidate
the warranty.
21. If the dehumidifier is knocked over then a safety tilt switch will turn it off.
