IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTONS
Important Grounding Requirements
Your Dehumidifier will operate on any 115 volt, 3-pronged
(grounded), 60 Hz circuit. A separate line is not required, but it
is advisable not to overload the circuit with heavy duty
appliances such as washing machines, etc. For your safety, this
dehumidifier is equipped with a 3-pronged, grounding plug and
must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet (Figs. 1 & 2). If
your outlet is not of the proper type, it is your responsibility to
have the outlet and wiring changed to the correct type. DO NOT
cut off the third (grounding) prong.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.

3.Do not operate unit with filter removed.
Failure to follow the above precautions could result in
electrical shock, fire or personal injury.
If the dehumidifier has a serial plate rating of 115 volts and
up to and including 7.5 amps the unit may be on a fuse or
circuit breaker with other devices. However, the maximum
amps of all devices on that fuse or circuit breaker can not
exceed the amps of the fuse or circuit breaker.
Notice
Do not operate this dehumidifier without proper time
delay circuit protection. Refer to serial plate for proper
power supply requirements.

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes
can create a fire hazard or explosion.
WARNING
Close Windows and Doors
To assure efficient dehumidification, close all windows and doors
in the area where the dehumidifier is to operate (Fig.3).

OPERATION
Power Indicator
Press “Power” button to activate unit. Power “On” indicator lights up. The unit is pre-set to
maintain a 60% relative humidity level.
Container Full Indicator
An automatic overflow switch and Container “Full” indicator light are provided to turn the
dehumidifier off before the container overflows. When the indicator light on the control panel
glows, the water container must be emptied. If the light remains on and the dehumidifier does
not begin to operate make sure the float is attached to the water container.
Set Humidity Display
If “Set Humidity” level is lower than the “Room” humidity level: the compressor will start up
and unit will start dehumidification.
If “Set Humidity” level is higher than the “Room” level: the unit will not dehumidify.
After operating several days at the default setting, with doors and windows closed, you may
adjust the “Set Humidity” to a slightly lower percent (drier air) or higher percent (moist air). If
you would like to adjust the “Set Humidity” humidity level, press the “+” or “-” to adjust the
humidistat in 5% increments between 35% and 90%.
Room Humidity/Temp Display
The “Room” display will display either the relative humidity or temperature of the room. The
default setting is room humidity. To display the temperature of the room press the
“Humidity/Temp” button. Press it again to go back to the humidity level.
To display the Temperature in Centigrade: hold down the “Humidity /Temp” button
for 5 seconds.
Fan speed Control
Press the “Fan Speed” button if you would like to change the fan speed from “Low” to “High”,
Use the high speed to maintain maximum water removal. The lower speed can be used when
quieter operation is desired.
Pause Feature
Press “Pause” button to pause operation of dehumidifier for 1 hour.

MAINTENANCE
Permanant Drain Installation (optional):
The condesate water can be removed directly from the unit to a drain
through a garden hose with the included adapter.
1. Turn the power off before beginning work.
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the knock-out at the back of the unit.
(Fig.7)
3. Slide the garden hose adapter (supplied) over the condensate
drain through the knock-out hole. (Fig 8)
4. The garden hose should lead to a floor drain or other appropriate
drain source. The garden hose should have no inclines or sharp
bends. (Fig 8)

of model number, serial number, date of purchase and
nature of complaint. Service will
be provided during normal working hours. Contact your
dealer for the name of an authorized servicer if unknown
to you.
2. If your dealer is unable to give you the name of a
servicer or if you need other assistance, call the following
toll-free number for the name
of an authorized servicer or authorized parts distributor:
1-800-332-6658
or you may write:
CareCo, Service Department
415 W. Wabash Ave., P.O. Box 200
Effingham, IL 62401
Proof of Purchase Date
It is the responsibility of the consumer to establish the
original purchase date for warranty purposes. We
recommend that a bill of sale, cancelled check, or some
other appropriate payment record be kept for that
purpose.
For Models Installed in North America
- If Service or Parts are Required
First, make the recommended checks. If it appears that
service or parts are still required, see your dehumidifier
warranty “How to Obtain Warranty Service or Parts”.
For Models Installed Outside North
America
For dehumidifiers purchased for use outside North
America, the manufacturer does not extend any warranty
either expressed or implied. Consult your local dealer for
any warranty terms extended by the importer in your
country.
Unit Runs, But Very Little Water is Collected
• The amount of water removed from the air depends on the relative
humidity of the air and the capacity of the dehumidifier purchased.
When the air feels damp (high relative humidity), more moisture
will be removed and the container will fill up more rapidly. As the
unit continues to remove moisture and reduce the humidity in the
area, less water will be collected in the container.
• This unit is equipped with a defrost control , which will
automatically activate when needed. When in defrost mode the
compressor will cycle on and off and the unit will make less water.
• Room humidity is low (below 40%).
Sounds
It is reassuring to know that your dehumidifier is functioning
properly. These are some normal sounds which should not be a
cause for concern:
• Air rushing over air drying coils.
• Hissing or thumping - refrigerant is flowing throughout the sealed
system and may generate a “boiling” sound right after the
compressor stops.
• Compressor may “thump” as it cycles on and off.
•Water dripping from coils onto the drainplate.
• The humidistat control, compressor and fan “tick” as they turn on
and off. Metal makes a similar sound when expanding or
contracting.
