Operating Instructions 

Features/Care & Cleaning

Moist, humid air is drawn over a
cold refrigerated dehumidifying
coil. Moisture in the air condenses
on this coil and drains into a bucket
(or through a hose into a drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn over the
condenser where it is actually 
heated several degrees and
discharged out the front grille 
into the room.

It is normal for the surrounding 
air to become slightly warmer as
the dehumidifier operates. This
warming effect further reduces 
the relative humidity of the sur-
rounding air.

There are 3 ways to remove 
collected water.

1 Use the bucket.

Turn the control off before
removing the bucket.

2 Use a hose.

Water can be automatically 
emptied into a floor drain by
attaching a water hose to the 
connector. Remove the bucket 
to attach the hose.

3 Use a floor drain.

The unit can also be placed 
over a floor drain. By removing
the bucket, the water will drip
directly through the hole in
the base into the drain.
