develops, for your safety
power supply before stepping

[]

Never unplug your dehumidifier by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.

[]

Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced with a new power supply
cord obtained from the manufacturer and not
repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at
either the plug or connector end.

[]

If the receptacle does not match the plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician

[]

Turn the dehumidifier
before cleaning.

[] GE does not support any servicing of
the dehumidifier. We strongly recommend
that you do not attempt to service the
dehumidifier yourself.
[]

[]

For your safety, do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
All dehumidifiers contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior to
product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old product with refrigerants, check with the
company handling disposal about what to
do.

Do not use outdoors.
[]
[] This dehumidifier is intended for
indoor residential applications only.
This dehumidifier should not be used
for commercial
[]

or industrial applications.

These R410A Dehumidifier Systems require
contractors and technicians to use tools,
equipment and safety standards approved
for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use
equipment certified for R22 refrigerant only.

HOWTOCONNECT
ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

The dehumidifier should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet, which has a voltage rating matching
the rating plate.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

USEOFEXTENSION
CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use on extension
cord, it is absolutely necessory that it be
o UL-listed, 14 -gouge, S-wire grounding
type opplionce extension cord hoving
o grounding-type

c rplia,oos.oom

When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.

How the Behumidifier

Operates

Moist, humid Gir is drGwn over a cold refrigerGted
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the Gir condenses on
this coil and drains into a bucket (or through
a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where
it is heated and discharged out the top grille into the
room.

Automatic Defrost
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the
compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to
run until the frost disappears.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.

It is normal for the surroundingair to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifieroperates.

Choosing a Location
YES

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 isadequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.

[] Allow at least 12-18inches of air space on all sides of
the unit for good air circulation.
[] Placethe dehumidifierin an area where the
temperaturewill not fall below 41°F(5°C).Thecoils
can become covered with frost at temperatures
below 41°F,which may reduce performance.
[] Use the dehumidifierin cooking,laundry,bathing
and dishwashingareas that have excessivemoisture.
NOTE"Placethe dehumidifieraway
from the clothesdryer.
[] Use the dehumidifierto prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuablesare stored.

Removing Collected Water
Thereare 2 ways to remove collected water:
[_
Use the bucket.When the bucket is removed,
the unit will shut off. Empty and replace
the bucket.

[]

Use a hose.Water can be automatically
emptied into a floor drain by attaching
a garden water hose (not included).
1. Removethe bucket from the front of
the unit.
2. Open the drain cover on the side of
the unit.
3. Thread a garden hose (not supplied)
onto the nozzle,cut to length, and lead it
to the floor drain.

NOTE:Supportbucketwith
bothhandswhenemptying.

IMPORTANT"Donot use thehose ff using
the bucket to collect water. Whenthe hose
is connected, water will flow through # onto
the floor instead of into the bucket.
NOTES:
[] Donotremove the bucket while the
dehumidifieris operating or flit hasjust stopped
operating.This might cause some water to drip
from the drain pan.
[] Thebucket mustbe in place and securely

Problem

Possible Causes

Dehumidifier
doesnotstart

The dehumidifier
is unplugged,

• Hake sure the dehumidifier's plug is pushed completely
into the outlet.

The fuse is blown/circuit
breaker is tripped,

, Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker.

Dehumidifier has reached its
preset level or bucket is full.

• The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either
condition occurs. Change to a lower setting or empty
the bucket and replace properly.

Bucket is not in the
proper position,

• The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.

Power failure.

• There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this
reason, the unit may not start normal dehumidifying
for 3 minutes after it is turned back on.

Did not allow enough time
to remove the moisture,

,, When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain
the desired dryness.

Airflow is restricted.

• Hake sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front or back of the dehumidifier. Seethe
Choosinga Location section.

Dirty filter.

, See the Careand Cleaningsection.

The Humidity Control may
not be set low enough,

• For drier air, press the T pad and set to a lower percent
value (%) or at CO(continuous)for maximum
dehumidification.

Doors and windows may not
be closed tightly,

• Check that all doors, windows and other openings
are securely closed.

Clothes dryer may be
blowing moisture-laden
air into the room.

• Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer.
The dryer should be vented to the outside.

Room temperature
is too low.

• Hoisture removal is best at higher room temperatures.
Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture
removal rate. Models are designed to be operated at
temperatures above 41°F (5°C).

Area to be dehumidified
istoo large.

* The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be adequate.

Doors and windows are open.

* Close all doors and windows to the outside.
