4.
Plug the unit into a grounded
alternating current circuit and switch
on the unit.
5.
Secure the 40 feet pump hose to a
sink or alternative drain.
6.
To use the gravity drain, connect the
hose to the fitting on the back of the
unit under the drip tray. Place the
hose into a suitable receptacle or
drain connection.
7.
Residual water left in the collection
tray can be removed by using the
manual purge switch. Continue to
depress switch until all water is
removed.
8.
If the unit is shut down for any
reason, allow at least five minutes
before restarting. This will avoid
damage to the compressor.
9.
Assure that the fan and compressor
are properly functioning before
leaving a running unit unattended.
MAINTENANCE
Warning!
Disconnect the unit from the power
supply before cleaning or servicing.
Filter Cleaning:
The filter shroud must
be cleaned after every job. The filter
itself should be vacuumed frequently to
control the build-up of soil. On a
periodic basis, the filter should be
removed completely from the unit. It
can be washed with water and mild
detergent. Allow the filter to thoroughly
dry before reinstalling it in the unit.
Coil Cleaning:
As the coils accumulate
soil, their heat transferring properties are
reduced. This can diminish water
extraction and create undue pressure on
the refrigeration system.
The coils should be cleaned about every
8 to 12 weeks. If the DryPro
™
7000
Dehumidifier is used in a dusty
environment, cleaning may need to be
accomplished more frequently. The
coils should be dry before the following
cleaning operation is performed.
Dry Method.
Inject compressed air
through each coil. Clean the unit’s front
grill with a vacuum equipped with a
brush attachment. After removing the
dry particle contamination, a wet
cleaning process may be used.
Caution!
Do not use a hose to flush the coils
and do not permit water to leak
into the electrical compartment.
Wet method
. Use a soft brush and soapy
water. If soils have been allowed to
accumulate over time, they may be dry
and hard. Soak time may be required to
dissolve and release these soils from the
coils. A spray bottle or a syringe can be
used to apply controlled amounts of
cleaning solution. After cleaning, make
sure that the drain port, the condensate
tray and drain tubing are free of any
residual soil.
Electrical Wiring & Cord:
Inspect the
power cord periodically to make sure
that the insulation is in good condition.
Replace worn or damaged cords.
Remove the dehumidifier cover to
expose the wiring and terminal block.
Inspect wires to assure that they are
secured away from the fan blade.
Inspect the terminal block connections
and wires for abrasions, nicks or cuts.
Repair or replace as needed.
