Manual applies to standard unit configurations only

2.1
Location of Dehumidifier
Desert Aire LC dehumidifiers require both left and right side service access to the unit for
service. The LV dehumidifiers require service access to the left side end opposite the return
air connection. Allow a minimum of 36 inches of clearance around the service sides of the
dehumidifier for piping, electrical connections, and service access. The non-access sides of
the unit should have a minimum of 12 inches of clearance. Consult local, state, and national
electric codes for other minimum service clearances.
Install the unit on a sturdy, level mounting base or platform that will prevent vibration and
sound transmission. Never install the dehumidifier on a wooden platform without consulting
the design engineer for spring isolation requirements and sound control materials. Do not
install the unit near occupied rooms such as offices or guestrooms. Do not attempt to
conserve installation space by fabricating restrictive ductwork with abrupt bends. You may
reduce the operating efficiency and the moisture removal capacity of the dehumidifier. See
section 5.2 for detailed duct installation instructions.
