WARNING
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. lf 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Avoid Serious Injury or Death
This dehumidifier contains no user-serviceable parts. Always call an authorized Electrolux servicer for repairs.
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.
Do not drink any water from the dehumidifier.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Location
How It Works
Location & How It Works
Selecting a Location
IMPORTANT:
1.Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the 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. lt 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.
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 top 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.
Normal Sounds
Sound of Rushing Air
At the top of the unit, you may hear the sound of rushing air being moved by the fan.
Dripping Sound
The sound of dripping water may be heard during the dehumidification cycle.

Gurgle/Hiss
“Gurgling or hissing” noise may be heard due to refrigerant passing through evaporator during normal operation.
High pitched Chatter
Today’s high efficiency compressors may have a high pitched chatter during the dehumidification cycle.
