Safety Information
Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or
around the unit, which could result in injury. Be sure the unit is
inaccessible to children when not attended.
Keep Unit Grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounding
plug and a grounded electrical outlet. A grounding plug is an
essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or
fire.
Protect Power Cord from Damage: Never operate a unit with a
damaged power cord, as this may lead to electrical or fire hazards. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a cord of the same type and amperage rating.
Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able
to deliver the appropriate voltage to the unit.
Handle With Care: Do not drop or throw the unit. Rough treatment can damage the components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.
Run on Stable Surface: Always operate the unit on a stable,
level surface, like the floor or a strong counter, so it cannot fall
and cause injury.
Secure During Transport: When transporting in a vehicle, secure the unit to prevent sliding and possible injury to vehicle occupants.
Keep Out of Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing
water, as this may create a risk of injury from electrical shock. Do
not store or operate outdoors. If electrical wiring or components
become wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit.
Keep Air Intakes Clear: Do not clog or block air intakes, as may
occur if operated to close to draperies or similar materials. This
may cause the unit to overheat and result in a fire or electrical
hazard.
Keep Filter Clean: Always use a clean air filter. Do not allow
any material to clog the filter, as this may cause the dehumidifier
to overheat. Do not allow oil, grease, or other contaminants to be
drawn into the dehumidifier.
Keep Electrical Components Dry: Never allow water inside the
dehumidifier's electrical components. If these areas become wet
for any reason, thoroughly dry them before using the dehumidifier.
Allow Repair Only by Qualified Person: Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit if you are not qualified to do so. You
may handle some maintenance and troubleshooting, but make
sure that more complex problems are handled by an authorized

HOW TO USE DEHUMIDIFIERS
DrizAir Dehumidifiers are designed to reduce water vapor or high
humidity in a building or part of a building. The purpose is to prevent humidity damage, and to dry out wet materials such as carpet, carpet cushion, floors, walls, furniture, contents, lumber, and
structural materials.
To speed up the rate of evaporation, and dry out materials faster,
use Dri-Eaz TurboDryer airmovers. The DrizAir Dehumidifier will
be needed to remove the additional water evaporated by the
TurboDryers.
Positioning Dehumidifiers
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to
achieve best efficiency. Close all openings to other areas of the
building, like windows and doors, to prevent moist air from mixing with the air in the drying area. Keep traffic through doors at a
minimum. This forms a closed drying chamber.
Inside the drying chamber, air should circulate freely. Open interior doors and operate TurboDryer airmovers to maintain good
airflow to all areas.
Place the dehumidifier where there is no restriction to air flowing
through either the inlet or the outlet. Keep away from loose materials like curtains and drapes.
Under normal circumstances, place the dehumidifier in the center of the room. To dry a specific area, place the dehumidifier so
the outlet air points at the wet area and the warm, dry air passes
across it. The duct should never be closer than three feet from
the wall.
The DrizAir Dehumidifier warms the air as it removes its moisture. In smaller rooms this can raise the temperature substantially. Room temperatures of about 68° to 80° F (20° to 27° C)
are usually a good condition for drying. Never allow the room
temperature to exceed 100° F (38° C), because this could damage the dehumidifier or building contents.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Operate the DrizAir Dehumidifier only in the upright position.
If it has been in a horizontal position for any time over a few
minutes, let it sit in the upright position for at least 30 minutes
before starting. This allows oil to drain back into the compressor, increasing its life.
2. Plug in to a standard outlet with the correct voltage and amperage for the unit. Push the ON switch. Listen for proper
operation of fan and compressor before leaving the unit unattended.

3. Allow five minutes before restarting after the unit shuts off
for any reason. This will avoid damaging the compressor.
4. If your unit has a pump, run the pump drain hose into a sink,
toilet, drain, or bucket. Make sure the hose is not kinked. If
using a bucket, check and empty the bucket frequently to
prevent overflow.
5. Before moving the unit, make sure the pump is empty of water. To do this, let the unit sit while OFF for 10 minutes, while
water drains drain from the coils into the pump. Then push
the PURGE switch. When using the DrizAir 80, tip the unit
backward to about a 30-degree angle; this will cause the
pump impeller to run and empty the collection pan.
6. CAUTION: Check dehumidifier daily for correct operation.
Protect floor surfaces from leakage.

whenever the reservoir is full. While the purge is running,
the display reads PUMP PURGING.
DISPLAY. Press the DISPLAY key to stop the display at
DEHUMIDIFER ON or OFF, TOTAL HOURS, or JOB
HOURS, when it is cycling. Press again to make the display cycle again.
CLEAR. To clear the JOB HOURS reading, first press
the DISPLAY key to make the display read JOB HRS
steadily. Then press the CLEAR key to re-set the numerals to 00000. NOTE: the TOTAL HOURS reading
cannot be re-set.
Defrost On
The display will read DEFROST ON whenever the unit is in a
defrost cycle. During normal operation, frost forming on the coils
is detected by the temperature sensor, causing a defrost cycle to
start. Dehumidification is suspended as hot gas flows through
the coils and melts the frost. At the end of the defrost cycle, the
display returns to its normal condition.
Changing Language Shown on Display
The default language is English. To change to another language,
follow these steps. (1) The unit must be unplugged from the
power outlet. Hold down the DISPLAY key while plugging the
unit in. The display now reads "ENGLISH." (2) Press the DISPLAY key or the CLEAR key to adjust the reading to FRANCAIS,
DEUTSCH, or ESPANOL. (3) Then unplug the unit from the
power outlet, which sets the language.
CAUTION: While in the change-language mode, pressing other
keys can change operating parameters of the unit. Do NOT
press other keys or change parameters, except when following
guidelines from the Dri-Eaz Service Department.
Error Messages
In case of certain problems, the display may show the error
message "GET SERVICE," followed by "ER01" or another numeral. Follow these steps:
1. First, unplug the unit and then plug it back in. This may reset the electronics.
2. If that does not fix the problem, try the solution if one is
listed in the table below.
3. If that does not fix the problem, contact the Dri-Eaz Service
Department ( contact information above).
ER
Problem with the electronic control panel.
1-2-3-5-6
Contact Service.
ER4
Problem with temperature sensor or cable.
ER8
Problem with a touchpad key. Press and release
each key several times.
ER9
Check for obstructions in pump or drain hose, or
that pump wiring is correct.

Water Removal Rate
With all dehumidifiers, the rate of water removal varies with humidity and temperature. If possible, judge the performance of the
dehumidifier by how much the humidity drops, rather than by the
volume of water being removed and deposited in the bucket. You
can roughly guess the humidity by its "feel" on your skin, but to
be accurate use a thermo-hygrometer.
To estimate how many dehumidifiers to place, see the Specifications below.
How the Machine Works
DrizAir units are refrigerant dehumidifiers. They operate by
blowing moisture-laden air from the room across a cold evaporator coil. Moisture in the air condenses on the coil, drips off, and
then is removed through a drain hose or pump. Now warmer and
drier, the air passes back into the room to continue its work of
carrying water vapor.
When a DrizAir Dehumidifier is operating at a room temperature
below about 68° F (20° C), frost will normally form on the evaporator coil. Water removal will stop temporarily. When an automatic control built into the unit senses the ice temperature, it
initiates a defrost cycle. During this time, considerable quantities
of water drain from the unit. As soon as the ice has melted, normal operation resumes.
How to Use the Touchpad Controller
(DrizAir 1200, 2000, 2400 only)
The Touchpad Controller used on DrizAir dehumidifiers has one
display and four keys. The normal display messages are:
CMPRSR DELAY 60
DEHUMIDIFIER OFF
PUMP PURGING
DEHUMIDIFIER ON
DEFROST ON
TOTAL HRS=00000
JOB HRS=00000
GET SERVICE ER01
Control Keys
ON-OFF. When the unit is first plugged in, the display
cycles through three messages: DEHUMIDIFER OFF,
TOTAL HOURS , and JOB HOURS. Press the ON-OFF
key to turn the unit on. The display often reads CMPRSR
DELAY 00, with the numeral counting down from a
maximum of 60 seconds to 0. At that point the unit begins to operate and the display reads DEHUMIDIFIER
ON. (The delay prevents damage from accidental power
interruptions, where power to the compressor stops and
then starts again when pressure in the system is still
high.)
PURGE. Push this key to run the purge before tipping
the unit. This empties water from the pump reservoir to
prevent leakage. If the unit has been operating, turn the
power OFF but leave the cord plugged in for about 10
minutes while water drips from the coil; then press
PURGE to remove residual water. The purge also runs
automatically every six minutes during operation, and

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
DrizAir Dehumidifiers are designed to operate on a 115V/60 Hz
electrical connection. Make sure that the electrical outlet is
grounded and that all safety precautions are taken.

MAINTENANCE
Always turn off the power before performing maintenance procedures. All the service procedures below are to be executed with
the unit unplugged. Perform before each use or as needed.
INSPECT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: Inspect the electrical cord for
damage at regular intervals. Periodically, remove the housing
and inspect internal wiring for bare wires, insecure fasteners,
and discoloration. Remove and repair any damaged wiring as
needed. Failure to do so may lead to electrical shock or a fire
hazard.

WARRANTY

PUMP TUBE: Make sure the pump tube is completely unwrapped and not kinked. Failure to do so can cause water to
back up in the pump and leak out. The control panel may signal
this problem by displaying “ER9.”

FILL OUT WARRANTY CARD: Please stop before proceeding
and fill out the warranty card.

KEEP OUT DUST. Keep dust from drywall, demolition, and other
sources out of the coils. Failure to do so can cause the unit to
overheat, leading to compressor failure or other problems. Do
not run the unit during sanding, painting or other operations producing airborne particulate. When dust is present, use the optional pleated paper filter to keep more dust out of the unit; also,
inspect and clean the coils as required.

INSPECT ON ARRIVAL: When your Dri-Eaz product arrives,
check immediately for signs of shipping damage. If you notice
damage, save the shipping carton for claim purposes, and immediately report the problem to your supplier and the shipping
company. Also, save the carton for shipping in case your product
ever needs repair at a remote location.

USE A CLEAN FILTER. Keep a clean filter in the unit at all times
to keep out dust. When using a foam filter, clean with a vacuum,
or wash with water and mild detergent and allow it to dry. When
using paper filters, discard the filter when visibly dirty and insert
a clean one.

Dri-Eaz promises, to the original purchaser, to perform the
following as needed to correct defects in materials and
workmanship:

SHINE EXTERIOR: Use a sponge and mild detergent for regular cleaning. Do not pour or run water onto the unit or allow water to soak the touchpad control. Bring back the original shine
with a vinyl cleaner-polish.

7 Years on Housing: Repair or replace the housing of a Dri-Eaz
Airmover or Dehumidifier, for seven years from date of purchase.
(United States and Canada only.)
4 Years on Compressor, Coils and Rotor: Repair or replace the
compressor and/or coil of a DrizAir Dehumidifier, or the desiccant rotor of a DriTec Dehumidifier, for four years from the date
of purchase. (United States and Canada only.)

Periodic Maintenance (as needed)
Make sure unit is unplugged. Remove housing as needed to
permit access to interior parts.
KEEP COILS CLEAN. Dirty coils do not remove water efficiently.
Inspect them regularly, especially if operating in dusty environments. Clean if they are visibly dirty.
First make sure coils are dry, then blow them clean with direct
compressed air from both sides of the coil. Do NOT hold too
close to the coils, as high-pressure air may fold the fins.
If sticky or oily residue remain, do a wet cleaning. Use a squirt
bottle to flush the coil with water and a little detergent. Do NOT
run a hose or pressure washer on the coils, or permit water to
enter the electrical compartment.
Remove dirt buildup with an aluminum evaporator coil cleaner
available from a refrigeration supply outlet. Follow product directions carefully.
When cleaning coils, also make sure that the drain tray, drain
hose, and filter cover are free of dirt.
PUMP SYSTEM: Inspect and clean the pump system regularly to
maintain effective operation. Remove the four screws holding
down the pump cover. Clean the catch basin. Make sure the float
shaft operates smoothly and does not stick in the OFF position.
Use a pipe cleaner to clean the gravity drain hose.

1 Year on Parts and Labor: Cover parts and labor costs for the
repair of a Dri-Eaz Airmover, Dehumidifier, Instrument, Accessory, and other product except Marketing Products, for a period
of one year from the date of purchase.
90 Days on Shipping: Cover shipping costs for the repair of a
Dri-Eaz Airmover, Dehumidifier, Instrument, Accessory, or other
product except Marketing Products, both to and from the Service
Center, for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase.
LIMITATIONS: This warranty shall not extend to any products
showing effects of misuse, accident damage, disassembly, alteration, lack of proper maintenance, corrosive chemicals, improper voltage, unauthorized repairs, use of other than genuine
parts and materials, fire, flood, normal wear and tear, or any
other causes beyond Dri-Eaz Products' control. The warranty
obligation extends only to the repairs or replacement of parts
found, upon Dri-Eaz Products' examination, to be defective. The
foregoing constitutes the entire warranty and no other warranty,
liability, contingency or responsibility, direct, indirect, consequential or in any way connected with the sale or operation of
products is expressed or implied.
TO RECEIVE WARRANTY SERVICE: You must write or call for
a Return Authorization. You must have the serial number available. The Dri-Eaz Service Department must authorize all costs,
including shipping, for any Service Centers worldwide. Please
