Installation & Operation Instructions
800.558.1711
Fresh air ventilation is optional.
Fresh air may be brought into the structure by connecting an insulated duct from outside the structure to
the 6" inlet of the Dehumidifier. A ventilation control is needed to program the time and frequency that the
unit introduces outside air. The time and frequency of ventilation should be based on the size and
occupancy of the residence.
• The fresh air ventilation duct should be connected to the 6" round collar on the front of the
Dehumidifier.
• An insulated 6" diameter duct can provide up to 75 CFM of outside air.
• If a motorized damper is not being used, fresh air is controlled by the manual damper in the 6” collar of the
dehumidifier.
• Performance of the Dehumidifier can be impacted by inside and outside air conditions.
• When a 6" motorized damper is used, a digital control is required.
• It may be necessary to use 8" duct work if additional fresh air is required.
• In cold climates or at times when the dew point is low, ventilation can be used to dehumidify the structure,
making the Dehumidifier capable of year-round drying.

Fresh Air Ventilation With Dehumidifier Off and Fan Only Operation
Outside air mixes with the dehumidifier’s return air before being supplied to the home. Outside
temperature, inside temperature and relative humidity will impact the combined outlet air conditions.
Note: Temperature and relative humidity may vary depending on duct distribution scheme.
