• The area where the dehumidifier is located should be sealed with a vapor
barrier.
• If the unit is installed in a crawl space, all vents should be sealed.
• For proper ventilation, neither the inlet or discharge should be positioned
against a wall. The inlet needs a minimum of 12” clearance and the discharge
requires a minimum of 36” clearance.
• For the best air diffusion, install the unit so that a side panel faces the wall.
• WatchDog dehumidifiers are only intended for operation when the unit
is upright and level with the feet on the ground (unless using a WatchDog
Hanging Kit).
1. Place dehumidifier on a level surface.
• Do not place unit directly on vapor barrier. For example, use blocks
or pavers to create a level surface.
• If unit has been turned or flipped so that the compressor did not
remain upright, place the unit on a level surface and wait a
minimum of 2 hours before proceeding.
2. Set up the drain line
• The drain line should be routed to a suitable drain on the outside.
• THE DRAIN MUST FLOW DOWN WITH NO LOOPS OR DIPS.
• Recommended Drain Option- Transition to PVC Pipe
1. Cut a piece of 3/4”OD PVC that is approx. 6” long.
2. Insert cut PVC into a 3/4” elbow.
3. Attach PVC+elbow to a 3/4”OD length of PVC to drain.
Keep the length of PVC as short as possible.
4. Insert the open end of dehumidifier drain tube into 6”
piece of PVC so that it does not extend into elbow fitting.
5. For a proper flow, a minimum downward slop of 1” per
10’ run is required.
6. Support the PVC tubing so that it maintains a smooth downward flow to drain.
3. Plug unit into a dedicated 15 amp GFCI protected outlet.
• The display screen has two functions:
1. When the unit is powered on, it shows the humidity of the space
2. When setting the desired humidity level, the screen will show the
set point. After a brief delay, it will revert to current humidity of the
space.
• This light indicates that the unit is properly powered on and ready to
operate.
• Always make sure the unit is “off” prior to performing any service, unless
otherwise indicated.
• If the humidity is above the setpoint, the light will be solid green and the
machine will operate.
• If the humidity is below the setpoint, the unit will be in standby mode and
the light will be flashing.
• When the light illuminates green, it indicates that the dehumidifier
is set to continuous operation mode.
• When the light illuminates red, it means the unit is in auto defrost mode
and clearing the evaporator coils of any ice buildup.
• When the light illuminates red, it indicates the compressor has been
initiated but is currently warming up.
• Once the light switches to green, it means the compressor is currently
in working status.
