CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION
Use the dehumidifier:
• in the basement to help prevent moisture
damage.
• in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom,
and spa/exercise areas that have exces-
sive moisture.
• to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
• during construction or remodeling to
reduce drying time for drywall and paint.
• Install 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.
• Keep all outside doors, windows and
other openings closed when operating the
dehumi
difier.
Humid outdoor air will add to
the unit’s workload.
• For maximum efficiency, install your
dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 65°F.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. This appliance has a
power supply cord with a 3-prong grounded
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard,
the cord must be plugged into a matching
grounded electrical outlet that complies with
the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code and all local codes and ordinances.
If a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet is not
available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have one
installed by a qualified electrician.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use a two-prong adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, fire or electrical shock.
WARNING
• At temperatures below 65°F, the evapor-
ator coils may become covered with frost,
reducing the dehumidifier’s performance.
• Leave the dehumidifier in an upright
position for 30 minutes before turning on.
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.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
• When the bucket is full, or when the buck-
et is not in the proper position, the Bucket
Full light goes on and the unit automati-
cally shuts off.
• The bucket must be replaced in the
proper position for the dehumidifier to
work. The light will stay on and the dehu-
midifier will not run if the bucket is not in
the proper position.
• The dehumidifier will shut off once the
desired humidity setting is reached.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the important
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS found on page 3 before operating this appliance.
