How to use
Setting up your dehumidifier

Maintenance
- To optimise absorption, place the Bostik Breathe moisture absorber system in an area where air circulates freely.
- To avoid the risk of spillages, place the system in a place where it is not likely to be knocked over.
- Refills must be replaced when fully dissolved so that the absorber can continue to function.
Consumption
- Consumption depends on the level of humidity in the room. Typically, the dehumidifier refills will work up to 4 months. When the refills have completely dissolved from the upper compartment, they should be replaced.
- When refilling the humidity absorber, we recommend the following quantities: 2 x tablets for rooms up to 25m2, or 1 x tablet for smaller spaces.
Emptying the dehumidifier
- To empty the moisture absorber, first, remove the upper compartment by gently lifting it up from the lower compartment.
- Carefully empty the liquid from the lower compartment by pouring it into a sink or toilet.
- Reassemble by placing the upper compartment back onto the lower compartment and it’s ready for use.
Cleaning
- The moisture absorber can be completely dismantled for cleaning if required. We recommend washing with warm water. Once clean, reassemble as normal and it’s ready for use.
