IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■  

Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual. 

■  

This dehumidifier must be properly
installed and grounded as described 
in this manual before it is used.

■  

Never operate this dehumidifier in an area
that is likely to accumulate standing water. 

If this condition develops, for your safety
disconnect the power supply before
stepping into the water.

■  

Never unplug your dehumidifier by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle. 

■  

Replace immediately all electric service
cords

that have become frayed or otherwise

damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced with a new power supply
cord obtained from the manufacturer and
not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or connector end.

■  

If the receptacle does not match the plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician.

■  

Turn the dehumidifier 

OFF

and unplug it

before making any repairs or cleaning.

NOTE:

We strongly recommend that any

servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.

■  

For your safety, do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity 
of this or any other appliance.

■  

All dehumidifiers contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refrigerants,
check with the company handling disposal
about what to do.

■  

Do not use outdoors.

■  

This dehumidifier is intended for 
indoor residential applications only. 
This dehumidifier should not be used 
for commercial or industrial applications.

When using this dehumidifier, always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord. 
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric 
shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, 
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 
3-prong wall outlet.

The dehumidifier should always be 
plugged into its own individual electrical 
outlet, which has a voltage rating matching 
the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
