Controls and Operating
SET UNIT UPRIGHT
NOTICE: Transporting or storing the unit in a horizontal position is not
recommended. When the machine is placed in a horizontal position, the oil from the
compressor can flow into the refrigerant coils and reduce the ability of the
dehumidifier to function and possibly damage the unit. If the unit has been placed in a
horizontal position, set it upright and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning
it on.
POSITIONING A DEHUMIDIFIER
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an enclosed area. Close all doors and
windows that open to the outside to maximize water removal efficiency. Place your
dehumidifier away from obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could
block airflow into and out of the unit.
EXTEND HANDLE
Release the handle by rotating red locking lever outward, then lift handle up into
place. Rotate red lever back into locked position to secure handle in operating
position.
NOTICE: Do not use the extended handle to lift the unit off the ground horizontally.
Do not use the extended handle as an attachment point to strap the unit in a vehicle
for transport. These uses will place undue strain on the handle attachment points in
the housing.
SET UP DRAIN HOSE
This unit automatically pumps out water on a regular basis. This dehumidifier is
equipped with a quick-connect fitting for attachment to the provided drain hose
located in the tray on top of the unit. Unwrap the entire hose and place the open end
in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you
use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent
overflows.
NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any part of the
hose coiled and do not place the end of the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 m) above the
bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions that might restrict the
flow of water. A kink or blockage will cause the unit to turn off produce an error
message.
