To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must conform with the latest edition of Local and National Electrical codes.

It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure adequate electrical power is available. This appliance is designed to operate on a separate branch, polarized, three-wire, effectively grounded 120 Volt 60 Hertz (alternating current) circuit protected by a 15 ampere fuse, equivalent fuse or circuit breaker. The three-prong grounding plug on the power cord should be plugged directly into a polarized, three slot, effectively grounded receptacle rated 110/120 V.A.C.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your appliance outlets are properly grounded.

• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electrical current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and 3 prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Do not modify the plug provided with this appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• If the household electrical supply does not meet the above specifications, or it you are not sure your home has an effective ground, have a qualified electrician or your local electrical utility company check it and correct any problems.

UNIT SPECIFICATIONS

Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet (avoid the use of extension cords). If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cord, use an approved “air conditioner” heavy duty extension cord ONLY (available at most local hardware stores). Make sure there are no obstructions restricting airflow through the front air intake grill. Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 20 cm (8”) between adjacent walls and the back of the unit, to allow for proper air circulation and maximum efficiency. To obtain maximum operating efficiency from your dehumidifier, the recommended (room ambient) operating temperatures should be between 6°C (42.8°F)- 35°C (95°F).

It is important to remember the efficiency of a dehumidifier will be effected/influenced by the rate at which new humid air (moisture) is allowed to infiltrate the same space/area. To maintain efficiency, the dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area. Keep all doors and windows closed.

1) LED Readout (ROOM HUMIDITY): The LED window displays the following information independently: A) Internal (Room/Environment) Relative Humidity Conditions

B) Set Operating Relative Humidity Value.

NOTE: The LED readout is programmed to

default to display the ambient relative humidity conditions.

To view the Set Operating Relative Humidity Value, press the “up” or “down” button (once) and the set RH operating value will flash for approximately 5 seconds in the LED window, then revert back to display the internal RH value.

2) ON/OFF Button: Each time this button is pressed the unit turns ON (adjacent indicator light illuminates) or Off (adjacent indicator light is not illuminated)

3) CONTINUOUS: Used for Continuous Dehumidifier Operation (unit will run non-stop). NOTE: Humidity values (settings) cannot be programmed in this mode. The adjacent (green) indicator light illuminates to signify the “continous” mode is currently in operation.

4) HUMIDITY UP: This button allows you to increase the relative humidity setting. Each time this button is pressed, the RH value setting is increased incrementally by 5% (ranging from 35% - 80%)

5) HUMIDITY DOWN: This button allows you to decrease the relative humidity setting. Each time this button is pressed the RH value setting is decreased incrementally by 5% (ranging from 80% - 35%).

6) HIGH FAN: The adjacent (green) indicator light illuminates when HIGH FAN is selected.

7) LOW FAN: The adjacent (green) indicator light illuminates when LOW FAN is selected.

8) WATER FULL INDICATOR: This (red) light illuminates under the following conditions:

A) When the internal water tank is not properly installed inside the cabinet. B) When the internal water tank is full. The water tank must be emptied and replaced back in the cabinet before normal operating conditions can resume.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INDICATOR LIGHT

FUNCTION

Power Light (Green):

When the unit is first connected to an electrical outlet, the (green) power light starts to flash and continues to flash until the “on/off” button is pressed. When the “on/off” burron is activated, the flashing (power) light turns to a steady state “on” condition. The dehumidifier will automatically default to the factory default setting (see Factory Default Setting below for details).

IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on the humidity conditions of the surrounding environment, the dehumidifier may not start automatically when the “on/off” button is pressed (see dehumidifier operating instructions for details). In the event of a power failure, the unit will not re-start automatically when power is restored. To re-start the unit you must press the “on/off” keypad again.

Water Full Indicator Light (Red):

When the water tank is full and/or incorrectly positioned inside the cabinet, the (water full) red light turns on and remains on until such time the tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned. This condition will result in the immediate shut down of the dehumidifying system (both compressor and fan motor operation are terminated). This is a safety feature. When the water tank is emptied and/or correctly re-positioned, the dehumidifier will resume operation automatically. NOTE: It may take several minutes before operating conditions resume.

Factory Default Setting: Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure, the electronic circuit board automatically defaults to the following factory setting:

Humidity Setting: 60% Fan Speed: High

NOTE: In the event of a power failure, all previous settings are automatically erased/cancelled.

If your program setting was different than above (default setting) it will be necessary to re-program your settings. When the unit is switched “off” manually (using the on/off keypad) the unit will always default to the last program setting that was used.

WATER TANK

OPERATION

Proper installation of the water tank is crucial to maintaining reliable dehumidifier operation. The water tank holds accumulated condensed water and by means of a safety switch, controls both the water level and operation of the dehumidification process- i.e. When the water tank is full and/or accidentally displaced inside the cabinet, the float switch actuator (inside the tank) breaks contact with the safety switch. This condition results in the immediate shut down of the compressor and fan motor system, preventing moisture from being condensed.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system.
