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.

DANGER! Avoid Serious Injury or Death

• This dehumidifier contains no user-serviceable parts. Always call an authorized Electrolux servicer for repairs.
o Do not insert or place fingers or objects into the air discharge area or front grille of the unit.

• Do not start or stop the dehumidifier by unplugging the power cord or turning off the power at the electrical box.

• Do not cut or damage the power cord.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should only be replaced by an authorized Electrolux servicer.
In the event of a malfunction (sparks, burning smell, etc.), immediately stop the operation, disconnect the power cord, and call an authorized

Electrolux servicer.

• Do not operate the dehumidifier with wet hands.
Do not pull on the power cord.

CAUTION. I Avoid Injury or damage to the unit or other property

• Do not direct airflow at fireplaces or other heat related sources as this could cause flare ups.

• Do not climb on or place objects on the unit.

° Do not hang objects off the unit.

• Do not place containers with liquids on the unit.
Turn off the dehumidifier at the power source when it will not be used for an extended period of time.

Operate the unit with air filter in place.

• Do not block or cover the intake grille, discharge area and outlet ports.
° Ensure that any electrical/electronic equipment is one yard away from the unit.

Location

Selecting a Location

IMPORTANT:

1.Dehumidifiermust be operatedinan enclosedareato be 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 unit will not work

properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will

fall greatly.
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.
