Operating The Unit
Positioning the unit
A dehumidifier operating in one room will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed area, such as a closet, or other
room 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 dehumidifier 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 bucket of water.
• Allow at least 8 in. (20 cm) 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 the clothes dryer, heater
or radiator.
• Use the dehumidifier 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 openings
to the space that you wish to dehumidify.
When using the unit
• When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit in "Continuous" mode for 24 hours.
NOTE: After the first 24 hours, should you wish to set a desired humidity, you will need to take the unit off of
“Continuous.” You will not be able to select a desired humidity while the unit is set on “Continuous” mode.
• 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 3 minutes for the
correct operation to resume.
• Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet, that is being used for other electrical appliances.
• Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet.
• Plug the unit into an electrical outlet with a grounding connection.
• Make sure the water bucket is correctly fitted or the unit will not operate properly.
• NOTE:
Do not attempt to move the dehumidifier when there is water in the bucket. The unit may tip over and spill water
or damage unit.
Casters (At four points on the bottom of unit)
• Casters can move freely.
• Never force casters to move over carpet or move
the unit with water in the bucket. (The unit may tip
over and spill water.)
