When using this dehumidifier, always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
Ŷ Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
Ŷ This dehumidifier must be properly installed
and grounded as described
in this manual before it is used.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ Never unplug your dehumidifier by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.
Ŷ 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.
Ŷ If the receptacle does not match the plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician

contractors and technicians to use tools,
equipment and safety standards approved
for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use
equipment certified for R22 refrigerant only.
Ŷ Turn the dehumidifier OFF and unplug it
before cleaning.
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.
2
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.

Using the dehumidifier. GEAppliances.com
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
How the Dehumidifier Operates
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on
this coil and drains into a bucket (or through
a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where
it is heated and discharged out the top grille into the
room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
Choosing a Location
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.
Ŷ Do not use outdoors.
Ŷ This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
Ŷ Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Ŷ Allow at least 12–18 inches of air space on all sides of
the unit for good air circulation.
Ŷ Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C). The coils
can become covered with frost at temperatures
below 41°F, which may reduce performance.
Ŷ Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing
and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away
from the clothes dryer.
Ŷ Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
Ŷ Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
Ŷ The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
Ŷ Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the room.
Automatic Defrost
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the
compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to
run until the frost disappears.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
YES NO
12s–18s min. 12s–18s min.
NOTE: The dehumidifier has rollers to aid placement,
but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces.
Do not attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or
over objects.

Using the dehumidifier.
Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on the dehumidifier.
Removing Collected Water
There are 2 ways to remove collected water:
Use the bucket. When the bucket is removed,
the unit will shut off. Empty and replace
the bucket.
NOTE: Support bucket with
both hands when emptying.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the hose if using
the bucket to collect water. When the hose
is connected, water will flow through it onto
the floor instead of into the bucket.
NOTES:
Ŷ Do not remove the bucket while the
dehumidifier is operating or if it has just stopped
operating. This might cause some water to drip
from the drain pan.
Ŷ The bucket must be in place and securely
seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
Use a hose. Water can be automatically
emptied into a floor drain by attaching
a garden water hose (not included).
1. Remove the bucket from the front of
the unit.
2. Open the drain cover on the side of
the unit.
3. Thread a garden hose (not supplied)
onto the nozzle, cut to length, and lead it
to the floor drain.

4. Replace the bucket in the unit.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely
seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
Water Level
The dehumidifier will turn off automatically
when the bucket is full, or when the bucket is
removed or not replaced in the proper position.
Bucket Operation
DO NOT remove the foam piece in the bucket
assembly. If removed the Dehumidifier will not work
properly.
The bucket must be replaced in the proper position
for the dehumidifier to work. The light will be on
and the dehumidifier will not run if the bucket is not
in the proper position.
