■
Do not try to operate your dehumidifier if the temperature in

NOTE:
In the event of a power failure, your dehumidifier will

The Fan Speed has two settings:
■
High Wind (H)
■

the accumulated ice has melted. When the coils are completely
defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will
automatically restart and dehumidification will resume.
