IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

To avoid risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your dehumidifier, follow these basic precautions:

WARNING

This dehumidifier is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for protection against possible shock hazards. If a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

WARNING

• Read all instructions before using dehumidifier.

• Be sure dehumidifier is properly grounded. Dehumidifier must be grounded at all times.

• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the round grounding prong from the three-prong plug.

• To avoid risk of electric shock or fire, do not use extension cords or adapters to connect dehumidifier to electrical power source.

• Do not tamper with dehumidifier controls.

• Do not repair or replace any part of dehumidifier or attempt any service, unless specifically recommended in user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have skills to carry out.

• Do not allow children to play on or with dehumidifier. Close supervision of children is necessary when dehumidifier is used near children, a safety rule for all appliances.

• Keep in good condition. Bumping or dropping can damage safety features. If damage occurs, have dehumidifier checked by qualified service technician.

• Replace worn power cords and/or loose plugs.

• Never operate with guards and/or panels removed.

To prevent personal injury due to tipping, do not sit or stand on any part of dehumidifier at any time.

8.2 amps. Ensure circuit capacity is adequate for proper unit performance.
