The WARNING instructions issued in this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood that common sense, caution, and carefulness are factors that
cannot be built into all appliances. These factors must be supplied by the person(s) installing, maintaining, or
operating the appliance. Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate the equipment according to the
manufacturer’s instructions may result in conditions which can produce bodily injury and/or property damage.
Contact your dealer, service agent, or the manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do not fully

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.
FOR YOUR SAFETY: 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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person 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 equipment-grounding 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.

REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.

START OPERATION
1) Place the product in an upright
position on a flat, stable, and heatresistant surface. Make sure there is
nothing flammable or heat sensitive
within 100cm (39 inches). Operating
the product in any other position
could cause a hazard.
2) Insert the plug into a suitable wall
socket. The dehumidifier is suitable
for operating on an electricity supply
having the same voltage as that
shown on its rating label.
3) Make sure the water tank is correctly
located. After switching on the
machine for the first time, if the
“Bucket Full” light illuminates, pull
out the water tank and check that the
“float” lever is able to move freely,
then return the water tank to the
correct position (Fig. 1).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

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 that 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 operations 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.
BUCKET
FULL LIGHT
• When the water tank is full the machine will stop and the“Bucket Full” light will
illuminate.
• The water tank should be carefully removed from the machine by sliding it outward
from the front of the unit, and it should be emptied. When the empty tank is
replaced properly in the machine, the unit will start up and run normally (Fig. 2).
NOTE: Please use both hands to carefully empty the water tank.

FACTORY
DEFAULT SETTING
Each time the unit is disconnected/re-connected and/or in the event of a power failure,
the electronic circuitboard automatically defaults to the following factory setting:
Humidity Setting: 60%
Fan Speed: Low
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, all previous
settings are automatically erased/cancelled. If your
program setting was different from the 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 in 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.
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.
NOTE: Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system.
