indicator lights up and fan will run at low speed. The
unit is pre-set to maintain a 60% relative humidity
level.
3.
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 continue to run on low fan.
4.
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

Service (Read carefully before calling for service)
If the Dehumidifier Fails to Start
• Make sure the unit is plugged into an operating outlet.
• If the indicator light (most models) is on, empty the full
water container. The indicator light should now go OFF, and
the dehumidifier will begin to operate so be sure to quickly
reinsert the empty water container. If the dehumidifier does
not begin to operate make sure the float is attached to the
water container.
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.

Save Electricity
• In general, dehumidification is not usually needed during
conditions of low room temperature (below 6S°F) or low
relative humidity. To save electricity and prevent, it is best to
turn the unit OFF during conditions of low room
temperature.
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 drain plate.
• The humidistat control, compressor and fan "tick" as
they turn on and off. Metal makes a similar sound when
expanding or contracting.
• Room humidity is low (below 40%).
