Install properly.. .

1. There are two rollers under your

dehumidifier to help you move it more easily.

Remove the water pan. Tilt unit forward

and roll to another position.

2. Allow at least 12 inches (30.5 cm)

of space around the unit for good air

circulation.

3. Keep all outside doors, windows and

other openings closed when dehumidifier is

operating. Humid outdoor air will add to the

dehumidifier’s operating load.

on the hangers inside the cabinet,when

Electrical requirements

OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES.

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

A 115 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 or 20 ampere fused electrical supply

is required. (Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.) It is

recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be

provided. Do not use an extension cord.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. REMOVE THE POWER

SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

For your personal safety, this appliance

must be grounded. This appliance is equipped

with a power supply cord having a 3-prong

grounding plug. To minimize possible shock

hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle,

grounded in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and local codes and ordi-

nances. If a mating wall receptacle is not avail-

able, it is the personal responsibility and

obligation of the customer to have a properly

grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by

a qualified electrician.

TEMPORARY GROUNDING METHOD

If changing and properly grounding the wall

receptacle is impossible and where local

codes permit (consult your electrical inspec-

tor), a temporary adaptor may be plugged into

the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate

with the 3-prong power supply cord. THIS

HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If this is done, you must connect the ground-

ing eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle

cover plate screw and from this same screw,

you must connect a separate copper ground

wire (#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water

pipe.* Do not ground to a gas supply pipe.

Do not connect to electrical supply until

appliance is permanently grounded.

‘Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical

ground and not be interrupled by plastic, rubber or other

electrical insulating connections (including water meter or

pump) without adding a jumper wire at these connections.
