ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before plugging the appliance into the mains socket, check that:
• The mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating plate on the back of the dehumidier.
• The power socket and electrical circuit are adequate for the dehumidier.
• The mains socket matches the plug. If this is not the case, have the plug replaced.
• The mains socket is adequately earthed. Failure to follow these important safety instructions may result in
injury or damage and absolves Global Industrial of all liability.
Important information for correct disposal of the product in accordance with EC Directive 2012/19/EU:
At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste.
It must be taken to a special local authority dierentiated waste collection center or
to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately
avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health deriving
from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to
obtain signicant savings in energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to
dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossedout wheeled dustbin.
NOTES ON HUMIDITY
Air always contains a certain amount of water in the form of vapor. This determines the level of humidity in an
atmosphere. The capacity of the air to hold water vapor increases with temperature. This is why in our homes,
as soon as the temperature decreases, the vapor contained in the air condenses. This is evident on the colder
surfaces in the room, such as the windows, walls, etc. The purpose of a dehumidier is to remove the excess
moisture from the air, avoiding the damage caused by condensation.
Experts have established that the optimum environmental conditions for our wellbeing and for the home are
obtained between 40% and 60% relative humidity. With very low temperatures, you are recommended to heat
the room even minimally. This considerably increases the dehumidifying power of the appliance. With heating,
the condensation formed by the water vapor on windows and other cold surfaces evaporates into the air to be
collected by the dehumidier. Air leaving the dehumidier is usually about 1-2° warmer than room temperature.

Bucket Full Alarm
• When the bucket is full, the compressor will shut-o and after a few minutes the fan will stop. The machine
will begin to beep and the Bucket Full symbol “ ” will ash.
• The unit will not run again until the bucket is emptied and properly placed back inside the dehumidier.
• Clean the bucket weekly to prevent growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Use a mild detergent to clean.
Ensure bucket is completely dry before reinstalling back into dehumidier.
• NOTE: Hold the bucket with both hands when emptying.
• NOTE: When the bucket is full or removed from the unit, the compressor will turn o but the fan will continue
to run for a few minutes. This is completely normal; the machine will not be removing moisture from
the air at this time.
• NOTE: During operation, it is normal for the unit to exhaust warm air from the top of the unit.
• CAUTION: DO NOT place the bucket on the oor when full as it is uneven on the bottom and water may spill.

Continuous Drain
• Connect the drain pipe on the back of the dehumidier, then the unit can continuously run without the use
of the bucket.
1) Put the dehumidier on a level oor, unscrew the cap on the back of the unit.
2) Install the drain and gasket connector.
3) Install the drain pipe to the connector.
4) Press Power button to run the unit.
For Model 246108 Pump Drain:
5) Press the “PUMP” button to start the pump drain function,
and the “PUMP” symbol will light up. The maximum height
of pump drainage is 16.4 ft (5 meters).
• If the continuous drain function is not needed, install the cap on the drain hole on the back of the unit and
the water will ow into the bucket.
NOTE: Make sure the drain pipe
is installed correctly, otherwise
the water will not drain properly.
NOTE: Ensure the unit is placed
on a level ground, otherwise the
water will not drain properly.
Automatic Defrost
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle o and the fan will continue to run until the
frost disappears. When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will
automatically restart and dehumidify will resume.
Location Requirements
Note: The unit operating in a basement will have little to no eect in drying out an adjacent enclosed area, such as a closet,
unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
• Do not use outdoors. This unit is designed for indoor use only.
• Place the dehumidier on a smooth and level oor surface that is
strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 18 inches of air ow on all sides.
• Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall
below 41°F (5°C).
• Utilize the dehumidier in areas of excessive moisture, to prevent
moisture damage. Such areas as basements, kitchens, laundry
rooms and bathrooms.
• Keep dehumidier away from clothes dryer.
• The dehumidier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most
eective. Close all doors, windows and any other outside openings
to the room to get best results.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Problem Possible Cause Soluon
Warning: Before cleaning and maintenance, turn the power o on the control panel of the dehumidier. Wait a
few minutes then unplug the unit from the main socket. Not doing so increases the risk of electric shock or re.
The dehumidier’s water collection tank needs to be cleaned with soap and warm water or a mild
disinfectant frequently. Mold and mildew can build up quickly, and when inside a dehumidier tank,
it can get dispersed into the air, causing illness.
A few times a season, use a vacuum with a brush attachment to clean the intake and exhaust grilles.
Dust and debris build-up can cause blockages that can lead to deterioration of the unit.
Cleaning Filter
To keep the appliance working eciently, it is
recommended to clean the lter every week
of operation:
• Use a vacuum with a brush attachment to
remove dust accumulation from the lter.
• If lter is very dirty, immerse it in warm water
and rinse a number of times. The water
temperature should never be hotter than
104°F (40°C). Allow lter to fully dry before
reattaching back to the dehumidier.
End of Season Maintenance and Storage
• Turn o power and unplug from main socket.
• Empty the bucket.
• Remove cap and run o all water left into a basin.
• When all water has been drained, put the cap back in place.
• Clean lter and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.
• Cover the appliance to prevent from dust.
• Store the dehumidier upright in a dry location.
Start of Season Checks
• Inspect dehumidier for signs of damage.
• Inspect power cable and plug for signs of damage.
• Follow the installation instructions precisely.
• Please contact Global Industrial Customer Service at 1-800-645-2986 for questions and inquiries.
Troubleshooting:
Dehumidifier Does
Not Start
