BEFORE FIRST USE
3.1 Selecting a Location
Important
1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an
enclosed area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows, and other
outside openings to the room. The
effectiveness of the dehumidifier
depends on the rate at which new
moisture-laden air enters the room.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that
does not restrict airflow through the
front of the unit.
3. A dehumidifier operating in a base -
ment will have little or no effect in
drying an adjacent enclosed storage
area, such as a closet, unless there
is adequate circulation of air in and
out of the area. lt may be necessary
to install a second dehumidifier in the
enclosed area for satisfactory drying.
4. The dehumidifier must be installed on
a level floor that will support it with a
full bucket of water.
5.
There should be a minimum of
12 inches clearance around the
dehumidifier.
3.2
How It Works
When the unit is started, the fan begins
to pull moisture-laden air across the
dehumidifying coils. The coils condense
or draw moisture from the air, and air
flows into the room as dry, warm air.
Moisture removed from air is collected in
a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.
The unit is designed to operate between
5°C (41°F) and 35°C (96°F). The unit will
not work properly if the temperature is
out of this temperature range, or the per-
formance of the unit will fall greatly. The
“Compressor” circuit has an automatic
3 minute time delayed start if the unit is
turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and pos-
sible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure
the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit
will not turn on.
CAUTION!
Avoid Injury or damage to the unit
or other property
• Do not direct airflow at fireplaces or
other heat related sources as this
could cause flare ups.
• Do not climb on or place objects on
the unit.
• Do not hang objects off the unit.
• Do not place containers with liquids on
the unit.
• Turn off the dehumidifier at the power
source when it will not be used for an
extended period of time.
• Operate the unit with air filter in place.
• Do not block or cover the intake grille,
discharge area and outlet ports.
• Ensure that any electrical/electronic
equipment is one yard away from the
unit.
• Do not use or store flammable gases
near the unit.
