SETUP

Place dehumidifier upright. When transporting the EB1400 in a
horizontal position is necessary, set upright (vertically) for at
least 30 minutes before operation. When machine is placed in
a horizontal position, oil from the compressor flows into the
refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the EB1400 to function.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GETTING STARTED

PLACEMENT:

For cooling or heating, place at least one EB1400 per room.

1. Place the unit on a level surface.

2. Make sure the System switch is set to Off then plug power
cord into a standard 115V grounded outlet.

3. Set the digital temperature controls needed to function
(see below).

4. Check for proper operation before leaving the unit
unattended. Do not move or carry the EB1400 when it is
running or plugged in.

OPERATING RANGE

Recommended operating range is between 60° and 105°F (16°
and 46°C). The EB1400 will not function properly when
operating in an environment with temperatures outside this
range.

CYCLE TIMES AND COMPRESSOR PROTECTION

The EB1400 thermostat includes an automatic compressor
protection feature to avoid potential damage to the cooling
system from short cycling. This thermostat automatically
provides a five minute delay after turning off the cooling system
output to protect the compressor. This protection is also
present while operating the unit in heating applications.

Important Notes:

• If unit loses power or gets unplugged during operation,
operator MUST wait five minutes before plugging unit back
in or risk damaging the compressor or tripping the circuit
breaker in the facility.

• Always turn the System switch to OFF before unplugging.

• If the System setting is adjusted during operation the unit

will automatically delay five minutes before start-up.

• When switching unit from cooling to heating or heating to
cooling operator must adjust set point temperature.

ACCESSORIES
Ceiling Adapter Kit (F400)

The Ceiling Adapter Kit allows the user to direct the heat
absorbed by the EB1400 during A/C operation into a
suspended ceiling space and recirculate it back through the
EB1400. Isolating the heat dissipating stream from the cooling
stream creates a neutral air pressure environment, enabling
the EB1400 to deliver maximum cooling performance in
situations where it is not possible to vent absorbed heat
outside of the structure. Kit includes two lightweight ceiling
adapter housings, four 10 foot sections of semi-rigid ducting,
and a 24 × 24 in. cardboard panel to temporarily block ceiling
openings adjacent to adapter.
