IV. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 

NOTE: 

 

Dehumidifiers working in a basement will have little or no effect on adjacent enclosed rooms such as 
closets, unless there is enough circulation of air in and out of the enclosed area. 

 

If the appliance has been switched off and needs to be switched on again, allow approximately three 
minutes for the correct operation to resume.  

 

Select a suitable location and make sure you have easy access to the electrical outlet. 

 

Ensure the air filter and water bucket are correctly installed before switching the appliance on. 

 

Always be careful when moving the appliance with a full water bucket. 

 

Ensure that the safety requirements and warnings detailed in this user manual are followed when oper-
ating this appliance.
