Dehumidifier with plaster

I've just had some plastering done and I need to move my bed into the room as soon as poss, can I stick a dehumidifier in there for a couple of days to dry it out a bit before we move in, or will it dry the plaster out too fast?
Thanks for any help in advance :)

    I would put the dehumidifier on ,at least then you know where the water that has come out of the plaster has gone..when you turn just the heating on the water that has to come out of the plaster condenses on another cold surface in the house so your never realy rid of it .
