Installation, Operation & Service Instructions

Read and Save These Instructions

The Phoenix 200 MAX is one of the most effective and versatile drying devices available. The 200 MAX 

removes more water and features better grain depression than other refrigerant dehumidifiers, while 

drawing only 7.4 amps of electricity. 

The term LGR (Low Grain Refrigerant) was created to describe the unique drying capabilities of the 

Phoenix 200 dehumidifier. These units were known for delivering substantially drier air, as well as for 

drying areas to much lower humidity levels than conventional dehumidifiers. The Phoenix 200 MAX, an 

improved version of the original Phoenix 200, is the culmination of over a decade of LGR manufacturing 

and design expertise.
