SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer,detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type
cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over.
- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other).This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

When to use your dehumidifier
This dehumidifier is designed to bring humidity level
within a comfort zone (from 40% to 60% relative
humidity.This is the mid range of the humidostat setting).
The chart (shaded area) indicates when a
dehumidifier should not be used since the humidity
level is low enough.
Operating a dehumidifier under the conditions
shown in the shaded area may cause frosting or
icing-up of the coils which will prevent the collection
of any moisture.
Experts have established that optimal atmospheric
conditions, both for physical health and the
preservation of furniture and other items, vary
between 45% and 60% relative humidity. It is therefore
advisable to keep rooms within these values.
Caution
Before operating unit check that float is
suspended freely inside the tank

Place the dehumidifier in a suitable position, a halfway or landing are generally good sites.
The appliance must be positioned so that the air intake and air outlet grills are at least 20 inches
away from any wall or obstacle to ensure adequate ventilation.
Condensate can be drained in one of two ways:
A)
Discharge into the tank
Your unit is supplied with a tank, which is positioned on the left side (Fig. 1) of the unit to
accumulate water removed from the air.
The condensate generated by the dehumidifier can be discharged directly into the tank. The
tank is easy to extract when it needs to be emptied without spilling.
Note: make sure the tank is
in position and the pump
switch is in the OFF position
IMPORTANT: The water collected is not drinkable. Please throw it away.
B) Direct draining
The exclusive Condensation Removal System, allow you to use a hose that extends 16 feet
(4.9 m) in height to drain the water. If you want the water to flow directly to a drain, connect
the condensation discharge tube supplied to the connection pipe located on the lower part
of the unit (Fig.2-3). Turn then the pump switch to ON.
Note: With the condensation discharge hose missing and the pump switched ON, a safety
device will make the machine discharge directly into the tank.
Note: It is possible to install the unit permanently and have the hose passing through an
opening or window. Create a hole with a drill bit 0.035 inches (9mm) in size. At the end of the
season, the hole can be covered with a plastic or rubber stopper.

How to dehumidify
1. Plug the appliance into the power outlet.The “POWER ON” light will illuminate.
2. Check that the “TANK ON” light is OFF.
3. Turn the humidistat control dial to the desired range or to “CONTINUOUS” for continuous
operation.The Dehumidifying light will turn on.
4. In order to switch off the appliance, turn the humidistat counter clockwise to the end and
unplug from the power outlet.
If you want to discharge the condensate directly into the tank, please check the pump
switch is OFF. (See page 5 for details).
When the humidity in the room has reached the required level,slowly turn the humidistat knob
counterclockwise until the dehumidifying light goes out. The dehumidifier will then keep the
humidity in the room at the selected level automatically.
Note: When dehumidifying, the appliance not only dehumidifies but also slightly warms the air
(2-4°F /1-2°C hotter than room temperature)
Operating conditions
A dehumidifier will not operate satisfactory if room temperature is 65°F (18°C) or lower, or if
the humidity in the room is low. Under these conditions, the dehumidifier should be turned off.
A dehumidifier will not eliminate frost on window during winter. The dehumidifying coil normally
operates above freezing temperatures and cannot prevent moisture from condensing on the
inside of a window pane that is below freezing.
TIP: It may be helpful to use a dehumidifier in the kitchen or laundry area where the humidity is
high. Reducing humidity in these areas may reduce frost on windows in other parts of the
house.
Selecting operating modes
Cleaning/Warnings
Maintenance
Always remove the plug from the power outlet before performing any cleaning or
maintenance operations. For safety reasons,never wash the
dehumidifier using a water jet.
At the end of the season, to prevent the formation of stagnant
water or dirt residues, the condensation discharge tank
A must
be drained (fig.4).
1. To eliminate the residual water, remove the hose B and
empty the contents of the tank into a container, being
careful not to wet unwanted areas.
2. Replace the hose by pushing it upwards,into the correct
position.
Cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the appliance using a damp cloth then dry with a dry cloth.
• Never use alcohol or solvents to clean the appliance.
• Never spray the appliance with insecticides.These could cause the paint to flake or plastic parts
to warp.
Cleaning the air filter
If the filter is dirty,air circulation is compromised and the efficiency of the dehumidifying and air
purifying functions decreases. Therefore should be cleaned the filter at regular intervals. The
frequency depends on the duration and conditions of operation. If the unit is used constantly
or systematically, you are recommended to clean the filter once a week.
• To remove the air filter, extract by pulling it as shown in fig.5.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust accumulations from
the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wash in warm water and rinse
several times. The temperature of the water should not
exceed 104° F (40˚C). After washing the filter, allow to dry
completely before putting it back in the appliance.
If the appliance is not used for long periods
• Unplug from the mains outlet and empty the tank.
• Clean and reposition the filter.
• In order to protect the appliance, cover it with a plastic
bag.
