Setup and Operation
Setup
Check the dehumidifi er for damage caused during shipment. If damaged, do not operate.
1. Unpack the unit on a countertop or other fl at surface.
2. Attach the hose to the metal drain elbow (bottom of unit). The unit ships with a 6-foot
length of 5/8 inner diameter (ID) vinyl hose. The hose may be cut to length for your appli-
cation. If a longer length of hose is required, it can be found at a local hardware store.
3. Install the dehumidifi er in a position that is higher than the drain. The unit uses gravity
to drain the condensed moisture from the unit. Never position the dehumidifi er lower than
its intended drain.
4. When routing the drain hose, be sure to not cause any kinks or other sharp bends in the
hose.
Do NOT drink the water that collects in the drain pan.
Operation
Be sure to plug the unit into a 3 prong, grounded receptacle that has a properly rated
and protected AC power source such as shore power or an inverter.
1. The dehumidifi er runs on normal AC only (115 VAC) household or shore power. Make
sure it is connected to a grounded, 3 prong, 115 VAC receptacle. Plug in the power
cord to a suiteable AC power supply as described above.
2. Turn the rotary control knob (humidistat) clockwise to turn the unit on. Turning the
unit fully clockwise will condition the air to 20% Relative Humidity (RH) while turning
fully counter clockwise will product RH levels of 80% in the conditioned space.
3. Set the humidistat to the desired level which is suitable for your application. Set-
tings below 50% may over-dry woodwork.
