DRYING TIP: Air’s ability to absorb moisture from wet surroundings and the Phoenix 200HT’s ability to remove moisture from that air is greatly improved at higher temperatures. We recommend that the area to be dried be heated to over 70°F if possible. Less drying time will be required and efficiency will improve.
