Shut Down Mode
Pressing the power button after the first minute of operation will initiate a shut-down mode. This mode
will last 15 minutes and will maintain the operation of the fan and purge pump to insure all water is
removed from the unit prior to moving or storing. Pressing the power button at any time during the shut
down mode will immediately shut down the unit and bypass the remainder of the shutdown mode. The
unit must be purged by pressing the purge button if bypassing the shutdown mode to avoid water
overflow.
The display will change during shutdown mode to a countdown timer that will indicate the
time remaining before the unit shuts completely off.
Maintenance
Air Filter (Fig. 7)
The air filter should be checked regularly. Operating the dehu-
midifier with a clogged filter will reduce efficiency. The filter can be
vacuum cleaned to remove dust. To access the filter media, slide
the filter frame up until it clears the dehumidifier cabinet. Remove
the filter media from behind the frame and vacuum. Reverse pro-
cedure to re-install the filter and frame into the dehumidifier.
Storage
Freezing temperatures and biological growth must be considered
before storing the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier should be
flushed with a biofungicide before storing. When storing the unit,
ensure that water has been removed from the reservoir and
hose. This will prevent damage caused by freezing temperatures
and to prevent biological growth. Use the pump purge button to
remove water and biofungicide chemicals from the dehumidifier.
Stacking (Fig.9)
The dehumidifiers can be stacked on top of each other. The
wheels from the upper unit must be resting in the cradle of
the lower unit.
DO NOT STACK MORE THAN TWO HIGH.
External Cleaning
Use a non-flammable mild, non-abrasive soap and clean
water solution to clean the dehumidifier. Wipe dry.
Internal Cleaning
Disconnect dehumidifier from power supply.
Light cleaning:
Remove the air filter and spray evaporator
coil with water.Remove the two upper screws from the front
hood.
Heavy cleaning:
Remove two upper screws from front hood.
Open hood. Spray water at coils. Close hood and replace
screws. (Fig. 8)

Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
WARNING
Disconnect power supply before cleaning.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Venting / Ducting (Fig. 6)
Twin rear outlets can accommo-
date two individual 5” ducts or one
10” lay flat duct to be attached.
This allows for warm dry air to be
directed into different areas.

Service
A qualified refrigeration technician must service all refriger-
ant leaks.
WARNING: The dehumidifier uses a high pressure refrigerant
system and high voltage circuitry which could present a health
hazard resulting in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property
damage. Only qualified service people should service this unit.
CAUTION:
Do not operate unit without the front hood secured in
place.
The serial data plate is located on the underside of the dehumid-
ifier. For service information contact 1-800-565-3548.

Functions
Loss of Power Recovery Function
In case of a loss of power, the last run state (ON or OFF) will be maintained when the power is
restored.
Pump Purge Function
In normal operation, the pump will automatically empty the reservoir. Pressing the purge button
(figure 9) runs the pump for 1 minute allowing manual emptying of the reservoir. The pump purge
will function in all modes as long as the unit is plugged in.
Hour Meter Display
The cumulative hours will be displayed during normal operation. If the unit is off (even unplugged)
pressing the hour button (figure 10) will also display the accumulative hours briefly.
Venting / Ducting
Twin rear outlets (figure 11) can accommodate two individual 5” ducts or one 10” lay flat duct to be
attached. This allows for warm dry air to be directed into different areas.
Maintenance
Air Filter
The air filter should be checked regularly. Operating the dehumidifier with a clogged filter will reduce
efficiency. To access the filter, slide the filter frame up until it clears the dehumidifier cabinet
(figure 12). Reverse procedure to re-install the filter into the dehumidifier. Metal filters should be
washed with soap and water, and paper filters should be replaced.
Paper filter size is a nominal 12" x 12" x 1"
Operating the unit without the filter in place will cause reduced efficiency due to dirty coils and
increase the frequency of internal coil cleaning.
Stacking
The dehumidifiers can be stacked on top of each other (figure 13). The wheels from the upper unit
must be resting in the cradle of the lower unit. DO NOT STACK MORE THAN TWO HIGH.
Battery Replacement
Disconnect power supply before replacing battery.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock
Disconnect dehumidifier from power supply. The hour meter uses a battery backup for display when the
dehumidifier is unplugged and the hour button is depressed. To change the battery, it is necessary to remove
the four (4) screws from the control panel. Disconnect the old battery and replace with new battery.
Replace control panel and screws. Do not overtighten screws.
