How It Works

When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove grounding prong from power cord.
