Before Use
Features and Benefits
Read this manual carefully. It contains instructions to help you use, maintain and enjoy your mini dehumidifier.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounding
This dehumidifier must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The transformer has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Plug it into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Call a qualified electrician if you don’t understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the dehumidifier is properly grounded. If the wall outlet is not grounded, please contact an electrician to have it replaced with a properly grounded outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Adapter Plug
Because most 2-prong outlets are not grounded, we strongly advise against using an adapter plug. However, a temporary connection may be made where local codes permit and if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded. Make sure the larger prong of the adapter goes into the large slot to provide proper polarity.
This Dehumidifier uses PELTIER technology, which offers these features:
• Almost silent operation
• No compressor
• No refrigerant
• No noise or vibration
This Dehumidifier is ideal for:
• Closets
• Wardrobes

For Proper Grounding
1. Ground the adapter to the outlet by using the outlet cover screw to secure the ground terminal to the outlet box.
2. Please confirm the outlet is grounded through the house wiring. If the grounding connector breaks. DO NOT USE the dehumidifier until a proper ground has again been made.
Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required to reach the nearest wall receptacle, use only a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounding type, 16 AWG, 15A, 125V appliance extension cord.
