USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

When first using t he dehumidifier, operate t he unit cont inuously 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).

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.

Choosing a Locat ion

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 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) or above 90°F (32°C). The coils can
become covered with frost at temperatures below 41°F, which
may reduce performance.
• The suggested range of relative humidity is between 40% and
50%
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry 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.

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.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.

NOTE: The dehumidifier has casters to aid placement, but it
should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do not attempt to
roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over objects.
