• Plug the unit into a grounded electrical socket only.
• Do not connect the dehumidifier to an outlet being used for other electrical appliances.
• When first using the dehumidifier, operate it continuously for 24 hours.
• This unit is designed to operate in a working environment between 41

ºF/5ºC and 95ºF/35ºC.

• If the unit is switched off and then switched on again quickly, allow approximately 3 minutes for

  

previous operation to resume.

• Make sure the water tank is correctly fitted, otherwise the unit will not operate properly.

NOTE: Empty the water tank before moving the unit, otherwise it may tip over and spill water.

This unit must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.

 Make sure to close

doors, windows and other outside openings to the room. Do not place the unit near a clothes

dryer, heater or radiator.

NOTE: Operating the unit in a basement will have little or

no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed area (such as a

closet) unless there is adequate air circulation in

and out of the adjacent area.

• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for indoor

   residential use only. It should not be used

   

for commercial or industrial applications.

• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level

   

surface strong enough to support the unit

  

with a full tank of water.

• Allow at least 8

"

 (20cm) of air space on all

  sides and 16"

 (40cm) above for adequate

  air circulation. (Fig. 1)
• Place the unit in an area where the temperature

  

will not fall below 41

ºF/5º

C. The coils can become

  

covered with frost below 41

ºF/5º

C, which

  

may reduce performance.
