iMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION. READALLiNSTRUCTiONSBEFOREUSING.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

When using this dehumidifier, always follow basic safety

[] Use this appliance only for its intended []

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 qualified electrician

[]

Turn the dehumidifier OFFand unplug it

before cleaning.

precautions, including the following:

GE does not support any servicing of the dehumidifier. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to service the dehumidifier yourself.

[]

For your safety, do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

[]

All dehumidifiers contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to

product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, check with the company handling disposal about what to

do.

Do not use outdoors. This dehumidifier is intended for

indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used

for commercial or industrial applications. These R410A Dehumidifier Systems require

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.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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 NOTusean 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.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

GEAppliance&com

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use on extension cord, it is absolutely necessory that it be o UL-listed, 14 -gouge, S-wire grounding type opplionce extension cord hoving o grounding-type plug ond outlet ond thot the electrical rating of the cord be

15 omperes (minimum) ond 125 volts.
