Operating Instructions
Electrical Safety
Grounding
This dehumidifier must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The power cord has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Plug it into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Call a qualified electrician if you don’t understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the dehumidifier is properly grounded.
If the wall outlet is not grounded, you are responsible for having it replaced with a properly grounded outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Adapter Plug
Because most 2-prong outlets are not grounded, we strongly advise against using an adapter plug. However, a temporary connection may be made where local codes permit and if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded.
Make sure the larger prong of the adapter goes into the larger slot to provide proper polarity.
FOR PROPER GROUNDING:
1Screw the adapter to the outlet, using the outlet cover screw.
2Ground the outlet through the house wiring.
If the grounding connector breaks, DO NOT USE the dehumidifier until a proper ground has again been made.
Extension Cord
Use only a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type, 14 gauge, 15A, 125V appliance extension cord.
The controls on your dehumidifier
Humidity Control
When you first use the dehumidifier, turn the humidity control to the highest setting. At this setting, the unit will operate continuously. Keep it at this setting for three to four days.
When the excess moisture and dampness odors are gone, adjust the control to a lower setting. Use the dehumidifier as long as excess moisture is present.
Fan Speed (on some models)
The fan control adjusts the fan speed. Set the fan control to HIGH for maximum moisture removal. When the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is
preferred, set the fan control 3 to LOW.
