Automatic Defrost; Choosing A Location; How The Dehumidifier Operates - GE ADEL30 Manual Del Propietário

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

How the Dehumidifier Operates

Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air 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.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.

Choosing a Location

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.
Do not use outdoors.
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Allow at least 12–18 inches of air space on all sides of
the unit for good air circulation.
Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C). The coils
can become covered with frost at temperatures
below 41°F, which may reduce performance.
Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing
and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away
from the clothes dryer.
Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to 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.

NOTE: The dehumidifier has rollers to aid placement,
