2 Meaco are British dehumidifier specialists having been involved in dehumidifiers since 1991 when the company started. This expertise was validated in 2014 with the award of two Which? Best Buys to add to the other Best on Test awards that Meaco dehumidifiers have won over the years. With the Meaco DD8L Zambezi we wanted to incorporate all of the features that customers have requested over the years and to make the dehumidifier more interesting by incorporating some personality into the machine. If we were to do this with an elephant then we felt very strongly that we should make a 2 donation every time a Zambezi is sold to help conserve elephants in the wild. This is how the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation got involved and we are grateful to acclaimed wildlife artist Jonathan Truss for his drawings of the happy and sad Zambezi that you see on the control panel. By purchasing this dehumidifier you are buying the most advanced and flexible dehumidifier that we have ever produced and you will be helping the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and their Elephant Orphanage in Zambia.

3 QUITE SIMPLY PROBABLY THE BEST DOMESTIC DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFIER IN THE WORLD The Meaco DD8L Zambezi is the most important dehumidifier we have ever designed and launched. Not only is it the most advanced domestic dehumidifier of its type in the world, it s is the first to be a true reflection of how customer s want to use a dehumidifier based on years of feedback and it is the first to have a charity tie-in to try and help to save the African Elephant. Zambezi is the latest model in the Meaco desiccant dehumidifier range, the Meaco DD8L holds the 2014 and 2015 Which Best Buy award and has won several other awards around Europe. Zambezi builds on this and creates a whole new benchmark for domestic dehumidifiers. It has six unique features never seen on a dehumidifier before anywhere in the world. Multi-function digital display Carry handle Multi-direction air distribution Unique Meaco Control Logic for advanced efficiency Anti-bacterial and anti-virus ioniser Daily run timer plus on/off timer control Low energy laundry drying mode High humidity turn me on indication Child lock Unique Meaco 20+ Control Anti-spill, mould resistant water tank 2 YEAR GUARANTEE INCLUDED

4 1ST IN IT S CLASS TO HAVE THE NEW LAUNDRY+ ENERGY SAVING SYSTEM One of the major causes of condensation and mould in the home is drying clothes on radiators or a clothes horse in the winter. As the clothes dry the moisture is released into the air and the air becomes damp, the room air feels colder, condensation forms on windows and mould grows faster. All dehumidifiers claim that they help to dry laundry but some do it better than others! Your granny will tell you that the best way to dry washing on the line in summer is on a warm, dry and windy day. It is therefore not a huge surprise to learn that the best way to dry washing indoors is by recreating those summer conditions. Dehumidifiers create the dry air and the fan creates the wind but that wind has to hit the washing for the clothes to dry effectively and quickly. This is where the rotating louvre comes in, driving the dry air across the clothes, up and down, over and over again you can even direct the air left or right if you have heavier clothes that need extra drying time. Customers who use a dehumidifier to dry their clothes put the clothes and the clothes horse into a small room with the dehumidifier next to them. Using a small room enables the dehumidifier to dry the air faster and achieve the low relative humidity that you need to dry the clothes. This is where Zambezi is different, whereas other dehumidifiers will just run and run regardless of the room conditions, Zambezi will sense that the air is dry enough for the clothes to dry and will reduce its energy consumption so that as little power as possible is being used. If possible it will switch into fan only mode and will only turn its dehumidification cycle back on if the relative humidity starts to rise again. So Zambezi could dry your washing in the same time or faster than other desiccant dehumidifiers and yet use up to 600 watts less. The combination of the energy saving intelligent Laundry + control, the high airflow and the rotating louvre makes Zambezi a viable alternative to a tumble dryer and the preferred choice to dry your washing with a dehumidifier. 1ST IN ITS CLASS TO HAVE A CLINICALLY PROVEN STERILISING IONISER Neutralises mould, dust, dust mites, viruses, bacteria and odours Other dehumidifiers have ionisers but none has an ioniser like Zambezi! Ionisers on dehumidifiers have an effective range of around one metre and only deal with dust. Zambezi uses Sterlising Ioniser+ technology clinically proven to destroy viruses, bacteria, mould, odours and germs over a 10m range. The high end ceramic high voltage ioniser emits a combination of hydrogen and oxygen ions to help create a cleaner, healthier and safer environment for your family. No other domestic dehumidifier in its class has the air cleaning functionality of the DD8L Zambezi. Dust Dust Mites Viruses Mould Bacteria Odours

6 1ST IN IT S CLASS TO HAVE AN ON/OFF & DAILY RUN TIMER A common request from customers is can I use it with a timer to make it run during off peak electricity hours? The problem with using a timer with a dehumidifier is that for many dehumidifiers it is a good way of shortening their lifespan because you are in effect subjecting the dehumidifier to a power cut on a regular basis. Zambezi deals with this issue by having a built in clock that allows you to set a time for Zambezi to turn on at each day and a set time for it to turn off at each day. Like all good elephants Zambezi will remember these timings and repeat this run time every single day for you. So you if you want your dehumidifier to run between 11pm and 6am each day you now can without harming your dehumidifier. Another great advantage of the Zambezi timer function is that it is one of the very few dehumidifiers in the world to have an on timer as well as an off timer. This is very useful because if you are a light sleeper you can set Zambezi to turn on after a couple of hours giving you plenty of time to fall asleep first. Zambezi is the first domestic dehumidifier in its class to offer this unique Timer + functionality. Sound night s sleep for even the lightest of sleepers As well as in the home, the Zambezi can be used in caravans, boats, garages and conservatories 1ST IN IT S CLASS TO HAVE THE MEACO CONTROL 20+ To keep running costs down dehumidifier owners tend to set the dehumidifier to a low setting, say single fan speed and 60%rh, especially when they are using the dehumidifier in an application whereby they will not be present, for example on a boat, caravan, in a garage or in a holiday home. No problem with Zambezi, if the relative humidity increases 20%rh above your set point then Zambezi will increase its fan speed for you and will work harder until it has brought the relative humidity back under control and will then settle back into your preferred setting. With Zambezi you can set the dehumidifier up with the hose to drain the water away down the sink, set your target relative humidity and then walk away and leave the dehumidifier to safely get on with things. But what if you have selected the wrong fan speed and the relative humidity starts to increase and you are miles away, unaware that all is not well? Another great feature of Zambezi is the memory effect. If there is a power cut then Zambezi will not forget your settings (Elephant s never do!) and when the power comes back on Zambezi will start to work once more just as you left him. Perfect control, as if by magic with Meaco 20+.

7 SUPPORTING THE DAVID SHEPHERD WILDLIFE FOUNDATION 1ST IN ITS CLASS TO HAVE A DIGITAL DISPLAY & VARIABLE HUMIDISTAT One of the frustrations with dehumidifiers is the lack of control that you have over what they do, this is solved with Zambezi with its LCD giving you access to all of the settings and options. On Zambezi s display you can see the current relative humidity and temperature, set your target relative humidity between 40 and 70%rh, set an on timer, off timer or daily run timer (Timer+), choose one of the three fan speeds, set the exact angle for the rotating louvre, use the Laundry+ mode or the Ioniser+ Sterilising system and set the time. All of the above plus the exclusive happy and sad Zambezi drawings supporting the elephant orphanage in Zambia. No other dehumidifier in the world offers you all of this. Rotating Louvre Clear digital display Anti-spill, mould resistant water tank We all want our dehumidifiers to reduce the relative humidity to a level that is comfortable for us in our homes but we need a balance between accurate relative humidity control and saving energy. Zambezi does that with the digital display enabling you to be precise about the relative humidity you select. Once the target has been reached Zambezi will go to sleep for 30 minutes and will wake up for a couple of UNIQUE MEACO CONTROL LOGIC minutes to check the air to see if the relative humidity has changed. If things are stable then it will sleep for another 30 minutes, if the relative humidity has increased then Zambezi will start to work again. The perfect balance between accurate humidity control and saving energy. 1ST IN ITS CLASS TO HAVE A TURN ME ON Relative Humidity is very hard to gauge, you cannot feel it if unless it gets to the extremes at the very top or the very bottom of the range but Zambezi can! So if you have turned your dehumidifier off and it really should be on Zambezi will flash HI at you on its display to get your attention and then you can turn the dehumidifier on to keep the relative humidity under control. Zambezi looking after your home even after you have turned him off with exclusive Turn Me On technology.
