This USE & CARE MANUAL provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the room air conditioner only as instructed in this USE &
CARE MANUAL. These instructions are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution
must be practiced when installing, operating, and maintaining

any appliance.

For Your

Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
= Discard water from bucket. Water is not potable and cannot be used for drinking.

Child Safety

Precautions

• Destroy the carton, plastic bags, and any packing materials immediately after the
dehumidifier is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play.
Do not leave children unattended

Electrical Information

with 3-prong grounding

plug

in an area where the appliance is operating.

•

For your safety and protection, this dehumidifier is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug on the power cord. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round ground
prong from the plug.

Your dehumidifier must be plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized
three-prong receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use will not accept a
three-prong plug, or if you are not sure the outlet is adequately grounded or protected
by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper outlet
according to the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. Do not

use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
Never unplug the dehumidifier by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.

•

DO not pinch, bend, or knot the power cord.

Selecting a Location

Location

IMPORTANT:
1.Dehumidifiermust be operatedinan enclosedarea to be most effective.
Closealldoors,
windows, and otheroutsideopeningsto the room. The effectiveness
ofthe dehumidifier
depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit or
out of the louvers on the left side of cabinet.
3. A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent
enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out
of the area. It may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for
satisfactory drying.
4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of
water.
5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.

How

It Works

When the unit

is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden

air across the dehumidifying

coils.

The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the
room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the
dehumidifier.
The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 °C), and 96 °F(35 °C).
The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off
and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.
Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise
