Using the Dehumidifier
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 |

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. |

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.
