HOW YOUR KENMORE
DEHUMIDIFIER OPERATES

The fan which has a permanently lubricated
motor, draws moisture-laden air over a refrigerat­ed evaporator coil which condenses the moisture
and returns the treated, dry air to the room.

The automatic water overflow control stops the
unit when the moisture collecting pan is full and
(on some models) a signal light reminds you to
empty the pan. The unit starts again automatical­ly when the pan is removed for emptying so be
sure to replace the pan immediately.

A hose can be attached to the dehumidifier for
continuous drainage of collected water. The
automatic humidistat (on models so equipped)
maintains your room at the desired degree of
dryness.

to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

OPERATION OF YOUR
KENMORE DEHUMIDIFIER

WARNING: Do not use dehumidifier near

highly volatile substances, such as gasoline.

(a) Allow the unit to warm to room temperature

before operating.

BEFORE USING YOUR
KENMORE DEHUMIDIFIER

Electrical Requirements

It is best to use a separate 115-volts, 60 cycle,
AC grounded, 15-ampere breaker or time delay
fuse protected electrical supply. This will help to
eliminate current fluctuation, which might cause
compressor trouble.

Grounding Instructions

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES
AND REGULATIONS.

Do not, under any circumstances, remove the
power supply cord ground prong.

For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance has a power supply
cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. To avoid
possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating 3-prong grounding-type wall recep­tacle, grounded in accordance with the Canadian
or Provincial Electrical Code and local regula­tions. If a mating wall outlet is not available, it is
your responsibility and obligation

(b) Your Kenmore Dehumidifier can be placed

almost anywhere but don't block either end
of the unit. The dehumidifier takes air from
the back and blows it out from the front. So
wherever you place it, be sure there's
enough room for good air movement and
moisture pan removal. Minimum
recommended distance 4".

(c) Your dehumidifier can be operated in an

out-of-the-way area and still effectively dry
out adjoining areas. However, it is helpful to
leave doors open between these areas so
the moisture in the air can move from room
to room.

(d) To dehumidify a specific area, close all

doors and windows leading to that area.

ROOM TEMPERATURE

A Kenmore Dehumidifier will work most effec­tively at temperatures above 18°C (65°F). Refer
to the performance chart on Page 6.

The coil of any dehumidifier can become
blocked with ice at room temperatures below
18°C (65°F). Ice build up on the coil stops the
air flow through the dehumidifier and it stops
dehumidifying even though it keeps running.

2

Models with Frostguard™ De-icer
Control

The Frostguard™ de-icer senses ice build up
on the evaporator coil and automatically shuts
off the compressor. The fan continues to run,
drawing air across the coil and melting the ice.
When the coil is defrosted, the Frostguard™
de-icer sensor restarts the compressor auto­matically. Refer to the performance chart, on
the water pan operating temperatures at
various relative humidity levels.

Models without Frostguard™
De-icer Control

If icing should occur, unplug unit until ice melts
and room temperature is above 18°C (65°F).

"

DONT’S" TO REMEMBER

1. Don't alter or change the plug on the power

supply cord of your dehumidifier. Changes
would make it unsafe, could cause serious
damage to the dehumidifier, and might void
this warranty.

2. Don't plug in the dehumidifier if you are in

doubt about the grounding of your electrical
system. Consult a qualified electrician first.

3. Don't use a lamp cord. If necessary use an

approved grounded appliance extension
cord with a maximum length of 6 ft. and
minimum wire thickness of 14 guage.

4. Don't use a circuit that will become

overloaded when the dehumidifier is added.

5. Do not sit or stand on the dehumidifier.
