purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■ This dehumidifier must be properly installed
and grounded as described
in this manual before it is used.
■ Never operate this dehumidifier in an area
that is likely to accumulate standing water.
If this condition develops, for your safety
disconnect the power supply before stepping
into the water.
■ Never unplug your dehumidifier by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.
■ Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced with a new power supply
cord obtained from the manufacturer and not
repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at
either the plug or connector end.
■ If the receptacle does not match the plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The dehumidifier should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet, which has a voltage rating matching
the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
GEAppliances.com
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL-listed, 14 -gauge, 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord having
a grounding-type plug and outlet and
that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
