  The WARNING instructions issued in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions 

and situations that may occur.  It must be understood that common sense, caution and care are factors 
that must be used when installing, maintaining, or operating the dehumidifier. Failure to install, maintain, 
and/or operate the equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which 
can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.  Contact your dealer, service agent or the 
manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not fully understand. 
 
FOR YOUR SAFETY – To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not store or use gasoline or other 
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this dehumidifier. 
 
ELECTRICAL SERVICE INFORMATION – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury, all 
wiring and grounding must conform to the latest edition of Local and National Electrical Codes.  It is the 
customer’s responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure 
adequate electrical power is available.

must be connected into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local 
codes and ordinances. 
 
Do not modify the plug provided with the dehumidifier.  If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
installed by a qualified electrician. 
 
If the household electrical supply does not meet specifications, or if you are not sure your home has an 
effective ground, have a qualified electrician or your local electrical utility company check it and correct 
any problems.
