Operation
During normal operation, the dehumidifier will automatically cycle “on” and “off” to maintain
your desired set point. If it should need to run for extended periods of time, the
dehumidifier features an automatic defrost cycle to melt any ice that accumulates on
evaporator coil. Approximately every 35 minutes of continuous operation, the unit will test
for the need for a defrost cycle. If required, it will defrost for approximately 3 minutes.
Warning
: Never apply an external source of heat to melt ice off coil.
