3 Operation

Place dehumidifier inside structure, place condensate 

hose into a drain, or a very large container, and turn on. To 

decrease drying times, make sure all windows and doors 

are closed to the outside and seal off the wet area from any 

unaffected areas.  

3.1 Transporting

The Phoenix DryMAX features a high-impact roto-molded 

housing which protects the unit. It is recommended the units 

are properly secured for transport. The Phoenix DryMAX 

must always be on its base when transported by vehicle. 

It may be tipped upright to utilize its handle and back for 
loading and moving by hand. 

Read the operation and maintenance instructions 

carefully before using this unit. Proper adherence to these 

instructions is essential to obtain maximum benefit from 

your Phoenix DryMAX dehumidifier.

•  It is designed to be used INDOORS ONLY.
•  If used in a wet area, plug it into a GROUND FAULT 

INTERRUPTER. 

•  DO NOT use the Phoenix DryMAX as a bench or table. 
•  It must always be used in the horizontal position.
•  Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord. If 

the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the 

manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified 

person in order to avoid a hazard.

•  Do not unplug the unit by pulling on the cord. Grasp the 

plug firmly and pull it out of the wall socket or power 

receptacle.

•  This appliance is not intended for use by persons 

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory 

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and 

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or 

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person 

responsible for their safety.

•  The appliance shall be installed in accordance with 

national wiring regulations.

•  Please allow one foot of clearance for the inlet and outlet 

of the unit.
