Electrical Information

• For your safety and protection, this dehumidifier is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug on the power cord. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round ground prong from the plug.

, Your dehumidifier must be plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized

three-prong receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use will not accept a three-prong plug, or if you are not sure the outlet is adequately grounded or protected

by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper outlet according to the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. Do not

use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

° Never unplug the dehumidifier by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly

and pull straight out from the receptacle.

• DO not pinch, bend, or knot the power cord.

Selecting a Location

IMPORTANT:

1.Dehumidifiermust be operatedinan enclosedareatobe most effective.Closealldoors, windows, and otheroutsideopeningsto the room. The effectivenessofthe dehumidifier

depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.

2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit or out of the louvers on the left side of cabinet.

3. A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent

enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. It may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for

satisfactory drying.

4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of water.

5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.

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.

The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 °C), and 96 °F(35 °C). The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off

and on quickly. This prevents overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping.

Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.

Operating Instructions

Allow the unit to reach room temperature before operating,

To begin operating the dehumidifier, follow these steps:

Unit must be upright for one hour prior to operating.

1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 115 volt AC outlet. Note the POWER indicators will illuminate.

If the "BUCKET FULL" light is on, remove the bucket and re-install to reset the float switch.
