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

This Dehumidifier is ideal for:
• Closets

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
