Installation
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 circuit.
