Positioning the Unit
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little
or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage
area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for
indoor residential applications only.
This unit should not be used for
commercial
or
industrial
applications.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth,
level floor strong enough to support
the unit with a full reservoir of water.
• Allow at least 8” (20cm) of air space on
all sides of the unit for good air circulation.
• Place the unit in an area where the temperature
will not fall below 41°F (5°C). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures
below 41°F (5°C), which may reduce performance.
• Place the unit away from a clothes dryer, heater or radiator.
• Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside entrances or openings in the room.
Casters
• Casters
move
freely.
• Do not force casters to move over carpet, or move the unit with water in the reservoir. (The
unit may tip over and spill water.)
General Operation
• When first using the dehumidifier, operate continuously for 24 hours.
• This unit is designed to operate with a working environment between 41°F (5°C) and
95°F
(35°C).
• If the unit has been switched off and needs to be switched on again quickly, allow
approximately three (3) minutes for operation to resume.
• Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet that is also being used for other
electrical
appliances.
• Select a suitable location. Make sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet.
• Plug the unit into an electrical socket-outlet with earth (grounded) connection.
• Make sure the water reservoir is correctly fitted otherwise the unit will not operate properly.
• Do not move the unit when the water reservoir is full or nearly full. The unit may tip over.
