USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 24 hours.
How the Dehumidifier Operates
Automatic Defrost
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses
on this coil and drains into a tank (or through
a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser
where it is heated and discharged out the top grille
into the room.
It is normal that the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the
compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue
to run until the frost disappears.
In defrosting mode, the fan motor will run,
normally the compressor will stop running.
Choosing a Location
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have
little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed
storage area, such as a closet, unless there is
adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
Do not use outdoors.
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor
strong enough to support the unit with a full tank
of water.
Allow at least 12 inches of air space around unit
for good air circulation except the air outlet must
be at least 40 inches from any obstruction.
Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not below 5°C. Or the coils
can become covered with frost,
which may
reduce performance.
Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
of furnitures books or valuables.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
of the room. When in operation to maximise
effectiveness
NOTE:The dehumidifier has rollers to aid placement,
but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces.
