Principio de funcionamiento
The dehumidifier filter functions as a primary barrier against dust, lint, and other airborne particles. By capturing these contaminants, the filter helps maintain the air quality in your environment and prevents debris from entering the internal components of the dehumidifier, which could impair its performance or cause damage. The filter is a passive component and does not require active operation.

Regular cleaning or replacement of the dehumidifier filter is essential for optimal performance and air quality. A clogged filter can reduce the dehumidifier's efficiency, increase energy consumption, and potentially lead to unit malfunction.
