WARNING
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.
• 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
dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will add to
the unit's workload.
• 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.
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.
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 plus or
minus 5% Relative Humidity (RH).
WARNING
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.
