Electrical Information
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.

Power supply cord

•

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.

DANGER! Avoid Serious Injury

Selecting a Location

Location

IMPORTANT:
1.Dehumidifiermust be operatedinan enclosedarea to be most effective.
Close alldoors,
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 top 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 unit will not work
properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will
fall greatly.
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

3. After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY A or V buttons to choose a value
between 35% to 85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable humidity. Pressing the A or V buttons will change the
humidity selection in 5% increments. After you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual
room humidity. If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY

1. Check the seal between the hose and the drain connector. If there is a small leak then replace the hose gasket and re-tighten
the hose.
2. It is recommended that a Dehumidifier
Drain Hose - 1/2" (12,7 ram) or larger be used. Make sure there are no
kinks or elevations
in the hose.
