Setting the Desired Humidity Level
The control will allow you to set the desired humidity level in your home and
can be used to turn dehumidification On or Off.
The materials in a home act like a sponge, so the moisture in the materials
of your home is at the same level as the air. After drying the air, the materials
of the home will release moisture back into the air until they are again at the
same level. As a result, it is not uncommon for the dehumidifier to operate for
an extended period of time when first installed.
EXTERNAL CONTROL
Begin by pressing the ON button and ON will be displayed on the LCD Screen
(see LCD display in Figure 1 ). Use the arrow buttons to set the control at 55%
when first installed. Allow the dehumidifier to run for 24 hours before deciding
if you want to change the humidity setting.
Raise the setting if you prefer the air to be less dry; this will reduce the
amount of time that the dehumidifier runs.
Lower the setting if you prefer the air to be more dry; this will increase
the amount of time that the dehumidifier runs.
REMOTE CONTROL
Begin by pressing the ON button and ON will be displayed on the LCD Screen
(see LCD display in Figure 1 ). Use the arrow buttons to set the control to a
dryness level of 3 when first installed. Allow the dehumidifier to run for 24 hours
before deciding if you want to change the dryness level setting.
Increase the dryness level setting if you prefer the air to be more dry;
this will increase the amount of time that the dehumidifier runs.
Decrease the dryness level setting if you prefer the air to be less dry;
this will reduce the amount of time that the dehumidifier runs.
The dryness level settings can be approximated to relative humidity (%RH)
using Table 1 .

Energy Savings Tip #1: To reduce dehumidifier run time, when using
the Y6456 as an
external
control, adjust the setting to be as high as is
comfortable and when using the Y6456 as a remote control, adjust the
setting to be as low as is required for the space. If it feels clammy or “smells
damp”, change the setting to allow for drier conditions.
Energy Savings Tip #2:
When using the Y6456 as an
external
control,
turn the dehumidifier control OFF when you open your windows, just as
you would with air conditioning.
Energy Savings Tip #3: When using the Y6456 as an external control,
and if vacating your home for an extended period in the summer, set the RH
at 59% and set your thermostat to as high as you are comfortable setting
it in the cooling mode. Consult with appropriate professionals regarding
the highest temperature that is safe for your pets or possessions. This will
keep the humidity at a controlled level to help prevent mold while minimizing
the amount of cooling energy used.
