floors, walls, building contents and more. Using
dehumidifiers can also help prevent secondary
damage caused by high humidity. For best results, use
the 1200EB with Dri-Eaz airmovers placed around the
perimeter of the room to distribute heat energy and
release moisture from wet surfaces into the air.
How the 1200EB 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
maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Also, keep
traffic though the drying chamber to a minimum. Place
your 1200EB dehumidifier against a wall, away from
obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could
block airflow into and out of the unit.
Managing temperature rise
DrizAir dehumidifiers warm the air as they remove
moisture. Optimal drying temperatures range from
20°C
−
29°C (68°F
−
85°F).
The most accurate way to monitor temperature is with a
thermo-hygrometer; however, you can use an
indoor/outdoor thermometer to gauge temperature. Just
make sure it is located in the center of the room away
from the airflow of the dehumidifier.
If the temperature rises to unsafe levels (over
32°C/90°F) you can use the structure’s HVAC (heating
and air conditioning) system to bring the temperature
down. Set the HVAC to maintain a temperature of 27°C
(80°F) and continue to operate the dehumidifier. If there
is no HVAC system, contact Legend Brands Europe for
assistance.

OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Set unit upright
Always operate the dehumidifier in an upright position. If
the unit has been stored or transported in a horizontal
position, set it upright (vertical) for at least 30 minutes
before operating it. When the unit is placed in a
horizontal position, oil from the compressor flows into the
refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the dehumidifier to
function.
Set up drain hose
The 1200EB condensate pump connects to a plastic
drainage hose that is wrapped around the air outlet
located at the back of the unit. This hose is equipped
with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the
provided drain hose. Unwrap the entire hose and place
the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outside –
anywhere that water can drain out safely. If you use a
bucket or other receptacle for water collection, check it
regularly to prevent spills.
NOTE:
Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose.
Do not leave any of part of the hose coiled on the
unit and do not place the end of the hose higher
than 6 m (20 ft.) above the top of the unit. Also
check for kinks, or obstructions that would restrict
the flow of water. Failure to do so may cause a water
backup in the pump resulting in leakage.
Plug in electrical cord
Locate the electrical cord either on the top or back of the
unit. The 1200EB dehumidifier may be plugged in to a
110Vgrounded outlet.
If the unit experiences a loss of power, either from a
power interruption or from thermal overload protection,
let the unit rest for five minutes before restarting.
Otherwise it might shut off again.
