How It Works

Selecting a Location

IMPORTANT:

1 Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective, Close

all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room.

2, Be sure not to obstruct the air flow through the front grille or out of the louvers

on the left side,

,

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..It may be necessaryto install a second
dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying.

When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the
dehumidifying coils The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows

through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air
is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier,,

NOTE: This unit is equipped with Electronic Control Protection. There is a 2 minute
delayed start after one of the following occurs:

. The bucket is removed
