CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION

* Place the dehumidifier on a level floor 

  strong enough to support the unit with a 

  full bucket of water

* For best performance, allow at least

  12-18 inches of air space on all sides of

  the unit for good air circulation

* Use the dehumidifier:

- in the basement to help prevent moisture

  damage.

- in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom,

  and spa/exercise areas that have excessive 

  moisture

- to prevent moisture damage anywhere 

  books or valuables are stored

- during construction or remodeling to 

  reduce drying time for drywall and paint 

DEFROST OPERATION

- The dehumidifier has a built-in defrost control

  that senses frost buildup on the evaporator coils

- During defrosting, the compressor will 

  automatically turn off; the fan will continue 

  running to defrost the coils until a majority of 

  the frost has melted.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF

- When the bucket is full, or when the bucket is not

  in the proper position, the bucket full light will 

  turn on and the unit automatically shuts off

- The bucket must be placed in the proper position

  for the dehumidifier to work.  The light will stay 

  on and the dehumidifier will not run if the bucket 

  is not in the proper position.

- The dehumidifier will shut off once the desired 

  humidity setting has been reached.
