To determine the proper setting for your dehumidifier, you should consider the humidity level of the room where the dehumidifier is located. Most sources recommend keeping your humidity level between 30% and 50% to prevent mold growth and keep your homes relative humidity at a comfortable level. Here are some general steps to set up your dehumidifier:

1. Choose the right location for your dehumidifier. Portable dehumidifiers work best when placed in the rooms where theyre most needed, so be sure to buy one that is rated for your room.
2. Set up moisture draining. Make sure to empty the water container regularly.
3. Set your ideal humidity level. Most dehumidifiers have onboard humidistats that automatically maintain the humidity level you set. We suggest keeping your humidity level at 45-50%, but you can adjust it slightly based on your comfort level.
4. Check its progress. Monitor the humidity level in the room and adjust the setting as needed.

Remember to review your owners manual for any specific instructions or recommendations for your dehumidifier.
