User manual
Question from Donna: Asked on 12/01/2026 How do you select dehumdify mode as not sure which light represents this option as don't want to select air purifier mode in error. Also what humidity should you set and what are the numbers on the front and what do they mean. What ioniser function do you select? The manual doesn't really help ??
Hi, For moisture removal, set the dehumidifier to HIGH or LOW mode—avoid FAN mode, as that only circulates air. You can set the target humidity depending on your goal: 50–55% for everyday use, 45–50% for drier air, or 35–45% for drying laundry. The ioniser/UV function improves air quality but does not remove moisture, so it’s optional.
Thank you.

Hi David,The electriQ CD12LE dehumidifier primarily removes moisture from the air, and during operation it can blow either cool or warm air: the air feels cool when passing over the cold coils to condense moisture, and slightly warm during defrost or exhaust cycles.Thanks!

Hi Mike, when the humidity of the room is 2% lower than the desired humidity, the compressor will turn off automatically, but the fan will continue to operate to ensure that the air within the room is not stale. The unit will use only a minimal amount of energy in fan mode. Thank you.
