Grounding Requirements
Your Dehumidifier will operate on any 115
volt, 3-pronged (grounded), 60 Hz circuit. A
separate line is not required, but it is

heavy duty appliances such as washing
machines, etc. For your safety, this
dehumidifier is equipped with a 3-pronged,
grounding plug and must be plugged into a
properly grounded outlet (Figs. 1 & 2). If
your outlet is not of the proper type, it is
your responsibility to have the outlet and
wiring changed to the correct type. DO
NOT cut off the third (grounding) prong.
