Use the dehumidier in a basement to help prevent moisture
damage. NOTE: A dehumidier operating in a basement will
have little or no effect in drying and adjacent enclosed storage
area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of
air in and out of those additional areas.
The dehumidifer must be operated in an enclosed area to be
most effective.
