Dri-Eaz 1200 dehumidifiers reduce humidity in enclosed structural environments by
removing water vapor from the air. The 1200 is engineered to be rugged, durable and highly
portable, making them ideally suited for water damage restoration, structural drying,
construction, and other applications requiring temporary, high-performance
dehumidification.

INTRODUCTION
Dehumidifiers reduce humidity in enclosed structural
environments by removing water vapor from the air. With
proper use, the 1200 can help dry carpet, carpet pad,
floors, walls, building contents and more. Using
dehumidifiers can also help prevent secondary damage
caused by high humidity. For best results, use the 1200
with Dri-Eaz TurboDryer® airmovers placed around the
perimeter of the room to distribute heat energy and
release moisture from wet surfaces into the air.
How the 1200 dehumidifier works
Dri-Eaz refrigerant dehumidifiers operate by pulling
moist air in across a very cold evaporator coil. The
moisture in the air condenses on the coil. In certain
conditions, the machine operates in defrost mode,
warming any frost accumulated on the evaporator coil
back into water. The water collects in a tray and is
pumped out through a hose.
IMPORTANT: Before moving the unit, make sure there’s
no water in the pump. See how to use the PURGE
function under “How to use the control panel” on page 2.
POSITIONING A DEHUMIDIFIER
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an
enclosed area, as this creates a drying chamber. Close
all doors and windows that open to the outside to
