Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - White Westinghouse AWHD123L

1. Will a 12-litre dehumidifier be effective for the Delhi monsoon humidity? 

Answer: Absolutely. The White Westinghouse AWHD123L is specifically designed to handle the high humidity common during the Delhi monsoon. By removing up to 12 litres of moisture per day, it effectively protects rooms up to 1200 cubic feet (like bedrooms, study rooms, or small offices) from dampness, preventing mold growth and that persistent musty smell.

2. Is this dehumidifier suitable for a bedroom in a Noida or Gurugram apartment? 

Answer: Yes, it's perfect for that. Its 1200 cubic feet coverage area is ideal for standard-sized bedrooms. Furthermore, it operates at an "Extremely Silent" 45dB, which is as quiet as a library, ensuring it won't disturb your sleep while it works to create a comfortable and healthy environment.

3. How often will I need to empty the water tank? 

Answer: The frequency depends on the humidity level. During peak monsoon days, you might need to empty the 3.1-litre tank once a day. However, the unit features a Full Water Warning Signal and an Automatic Shutoff to prevent any overflows. For continuous, hassle-free operation, you can simply connect a hose to the continuous drainage port.

4. Can this dehumidifier help dry my clothes faster indoors? 

Answer: Yes, this is one of its most popular uses. By reducing the overall moisture in the room's air, the White Westinghouse AWHD123L significantly speeds up the drying time for your laundry, which is a major benefit during the damp monsoon months when outdoor drying isn't an option.

5. How much electricity does the White Westinghouse AWHD123L consume? 

Answer: This model is designed for energy efficiency. It has a rated power consumption of only 255W. The Automatic Humidistat also helps save power by running the machine only when needed to maintain your desired humidity level, making it economical for daily use.

6. What's the difference between the 12L and 20L White Westinghouse models? 

Answer: The primary difference is the coverage area and moisture removal capacity. The AWHD123L (12 Litre) is ideal for smaller, enclosed spaces up to 1200 cubic feet like bedrooms or home offices. The larger 20-litre models are designed for bigger areas like living rooms, basements, or larger office spaces. Choose the 12L for targeted, single-room efficiency.

7. Where is the best place to position the dehumidifier for best results? 

Answer: For optimal performance, place the unit on a flat, stable surface, at least 6-12 inches away from walls and furniture. This ensures unrestricted airflow into the vents. Avoid placing it in a tight corner or directly against a wall.

8. How do I clean and maintain the air-purifying filter? 

Answer: Maintenance is simple. For best results, you should check the air-purifying filter every two weeks. Simply slide it out, wash it gently with lukewarm water, and let it air dry completely before placing it back. A clean filter ensures the unit runs efficiently and keeps your air quality high.

9. What does the "Auto Frost Control" feature do? 

Answer: The Auto Frost Control is an intelligent feature that detects if frost is building up on the internal coils, which can happen in cooler conditions. It will then automatically pause dehumidification and run the fan to melt the ice, protecting the unit from damage and ensuring it operates effectively year-round.

10. Is the water collected by the dehumidifier safe to drink? 

Answer: No, the collected water (condensate) is not potable and should not be consumed by people or pets. However, since it is demineralized, it is excellent for watering houseplants or for use in a steam iron.
