•
Make sure the plug is pushed completely into the outlet
•
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker
•
The unit turns off automatically when either condition oc-
curs. Change to a lower setting or empty the bucket and
replace properly
•
The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
unit to operate.
•
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 normally for 3 minutes
after it is turned back on.
•
When fi rst installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain
the desired dryness
•
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front or back of the dehumidifi er. See the
"Location" section.
•
See the "Air fi lter" section
•
For drier air, press the down button and set to a lower
percent value (%)
•
Check that all doors, windows and other openings are
securely closed
•
Install the dehumidifi er away from the dryer. The dryer
should be vented to the outside.
•
Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures.
Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture
removal rate. Modes are designed to be operated at
temperatures above 5°C (41°F)
•
Set to lowest humidity setting. Allow bucket to fi ll and
then empty bucket. Adjust controller to desired % RH.
•
The capacity of your dehumidifi er may not be adequate
•
Close all doors and windows
•
This is normal. Frost will usually disappear within 60
minutes. See the "Defrost" section
•
This is normal. Wait approximately 3 minutes and set
the fan as desired.
•
This is normal
•
Check the hose connection. See "Continuous Drain"
section
•
Disconnect the hose if using the bucket to collect water,
see "Continuous Drain" section.
