• A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have
little or no effect in drying out 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 use only.
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor
surface that is strong enough to support the unit with
a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 12-18" of air flow on all sides.
(See Figure 4)
• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 41˚F. The coils can
become covered with frost at temperatures below
41˚F, which may reduce performance. (See Figure 4)
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing
and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from a
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.
NOTE: Make sure power is off and the power cord
is not plugged into an electrical outlet prior to
performing any maintenance on the unit.

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 coils are completely
defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the
model) will automatically restart and dehumidification
will resume.
