The DrizAir Dehumidifier reduces humidity in enclosed structural environments by removing
water vapor from the air. The DrizAir is engineered to be rugged, durable and highly port-
able, making it ideally suited for construction, remodels, water damage restoration, 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 DrizAir 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
DrizAir 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 DrizAir 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 pad” 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 DrizAir dehumidifier against a wall, away from
obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could
block airflow into and out of the unit.
