Prior to Operation
Prior to Operation
1. Consult an installation specialist for installation.
2. Plug in the power plug properly.
3. Use a dedicated circuit.
4. Do not use an extension cord.
5. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.
6. If the cord/plug is damaged, only replace it with an authorized replacement part.
1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended periods of time.
2. Ventilate the room when the dehumidifier is used with other heating devices. Otherwise the oxygen supply may be inadequate.
3. Do not use this dehumidifier for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage could damage the items.
1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.
2. Do not use water to clean inside the dehumidifier. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.
3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a possibility of injury if the unit’s power is accidently turned on while the interior of the unit is being cleaned.
For repair and maintenance, contact your authorized service dealer.

Electrical Safety
Electrical Safety
WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug. To minimize the risk of electric shock, use the plug with a standard three-slot grounding wall power outlet. If the power outlet does not include a grounding slot, have a qualified electrician replace the outlet before you use the dehumidifier.
WARNING: Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug.
WARNING: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
WARNING: If you have any doubt whether the dehumidifier is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

Ensure proper ground
exists before use

Electrical Safety
Temporary Use of an Adapter
We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards. For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most local hardware stores. To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.
WARNING: Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.
We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards.
