CONTROLS AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

Set unit upright

NOTICE: Transporting or storing the unit in a
horizontal position is not recommended. When the
machine is placed in a horizontal position, th e oil
from the compressor can flow into the refrigerant
coils and reduce the ability of the dehum idifier to
function and possibly damage the unit. If the unit
has been placed in a horizontal position, set it
upright and let it stand for at least 30 mi nu tes before
turning it on.

transport. These uses will place undue strain
on the handle attachment points in the
housing.

Set up drain hose

This unit automatically pumps out water on a
regular basis. This dehumidifier is equipped
with a quick-connect fitting for attachment to
the provided drain hose located in the tray on
top of the unit. Unwrap the ent ire hose an d
place the open end in a sink, drain, bucket or
outdoors – anywhere tha t water can drai n out
safely. If you use a bucket or other container
for water collection, check it regularly to
prevent overflows.

NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire
drain hose. Do not leave any part of the hose
coiled on the unit and do not plac e the end of
the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 m) above the
bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or
other obstructions that might restrict the flow
of water. A kink or blockage will cause the unit
to turn off produce an ER9 error code. See
“Error Messages,” below, for more
information.

Positioning a Dehumidifier

For best results, operate your dehumidifier in an
enclosed area. Close all doors and windows to maximize
the unit’s water removal efficiency. Place your
dehumidifier away from obstructions, and keep it away
from anything that could obstruct airflow into and out of
the unit.

07-02300B F600 2 Dri-Eaz Products, Inc.

Plug in electrical cord

The dehumidifier should be plugged into a

GFCI-protected 115 volt outlet rated for at
least 15

amps. Remove the cord from the

storage tray and uncoil it. Al wa ys plug the
cord firmly into the unit first, and then plug the
other end into a suitable electrical outlet.

AT THE END OF THE JOB

To reduce the possibility of drips when moving the
unit, follow these additional step s to ensure that all
water is removed from the unit.

NOTICE: The unit will complete the defrost cycle even if
the unit is turned off but still plugged in. If the unit is
unplugged during the defrost c ycle, exc ess ive water may
accumulate in the unit and may drip out when you m ove
the unit.

07-02300B F600 4 Dri-Eaz Products, Inc.

NOTICE: To ensure the condensate tank empties
completely while purging, make sure the unit is placed
upright on a horizontal surface.

1. Do not turn unit off or move it until it has returned
to normal operating mode. To confirm unit status,
review the control panel. The control panel will
display one of the following messages:

The unit has completed a defrost and drying cycle and
has returned to normal mode. You may now proceed to
step 2.

• Store and transport securely to avoid an y dam aging
impact to internal parts.

• Secure during transport to prevent sliding and
possible injury to vehicle occupants.

• Do not transport or store the unit on its front, sides or

back. This will help to prevent any remaining moisture
from escaping from the unit or flowing into areas
outside the sump.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Unplug the

dehumidifier before performing any maintenance.
WARNING: Risk of dust and contaminants exposure.

Use of respirator mask and gloves is recommended. If
unit has been exposed to potentially dangerous
contaminants, clean thoroughly and sanitize before
reuse.

NOTICE: The unit is fitted with sensitive electronic
sensors. Protect the sensors and their lead wires from
damage and do not expose them to water or cleaning
solution.

The following tools and supplies are needed to
complete the maintenance procedures described in
this manual:

Philips screwdriver
T-20 Torx bit
10 mm nutdriver or socket and ratchet
Cleaning cloths
HEPA vacuum cleaner with soft brush nozzle and
crevice tool.

Recommended

Cordless drill, small knife, small-jaw pliers, coil
cleaning solution, rotomolded housing cleaning
solution.

2. Gently rock the machine to ensure any water
remaining on interior surfaces falls into the sump
area.

3. Press the PURGE key. When the purge cycle is
complete, turn the unit off.

4. Remove the external drain hose, drain it carefully,
coil it and return it to the storage tray o n th e top of
the unit.

TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

IMPORTANT: Before moving, transporting or
storing, purge unit and stow hose and power cord as
described in the “At the End of the Job” section
above.

NOTICE: Handle the unit carefully. Do not drop, throw or

place the unit where it could fall. Rough treatment can
damage the dehumidif ier and may create a hazardous
condition or void the warranty.

07-02300B F600 5 Dri-Eaz Products, Inc.

• Do not expose the control panel to moisture, snow
or rain.

Before each use

Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Look for

fraying, cuts, etc. Replace the cord if you find any
damage.

Inspect filter. Replace if accumulation of dust and
debris is visible.

NOTICE: Replace used filters only with a new Dri-Eaz
filter part no. F579 (24-pack). Other filter types do not
provide adequate filtration or airflo w. Each fi lter is
individually wrapped to prot ect filtr ation effectiveness.
Remove the wrapper before installing the filter into the
dehumidifier.

Monthly

Inspect coils. Clean when dust accumulation is visible.

In normal use, dust can accumulate and can restrict
airflow, reducing performance and causing the unit to
overheat.

To maintain appearance, wipe interior and exterior
surfaces with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning and a
