RH level for turning off dehumidifer and how long it can run for
What level of relative humdity signifies that it's time to turn off my dehumidifer? Also, on that note, how long can a dehumidifer run before it may be dangerous or would it just turn itself off if, say, it were to overheat? I could be wrong in assuming it would overheat after a certain period of time. Just looking for some clarity on these two areas. Thanks!

"Hi, A dehumidifier will never remove 100% of moisture in the air so it's not worth setting it that high. 70% will stop condensation and aid drying laundry on an airer as long as the windows are shut. Most machines will stop when the target is reached or when the water catch tray is full."
