DEHUMIDIFIER OWNER'S MANUAL AND WARRANTY

Model Series: D-165HG, D-165T

How to Use Your Dehumidifier

Choosing a Location:

1. Use dehumidifier in any enclosed room or area
such as a workshop, basement, or living area
where you want moisture removed. For best
results, keep all doors and windows closed.

2. Good airflow is essential for dehumidifying.
Make sure there is at least 6 Inches (15 cm) of
space from any wall or other obstruction, such
as furniture or appliance, to rear and to front of
dehumidifier.

3. Dehumidifier must be in an upright position and
on a level surface.

4. Four casters are on bottom of unit for ease of
movement.

5. These dehumidifiers are built for free-standing
use only and are not designed to be built in.

Operating your dehumidifier:

1. Check available power supply against data plate
to assure correct electrical service. Plug power
cord into grounded wall outlet.

2. Humidistat Knob should be securely fitted to
exposed stem on Grille front. Knob is packed in
bag attached to power cord or in receptor
bucket. All models are equipped with automatic
humidistat control that will switch dehumidifier
on and off to maintain chosen humidity level.
When operating dehumidifier for first time in a
particular area, set humidistat dial on mid-point.
Allow dehumidifier to operate at this setting for
two or three days.

3. Frost or ice on cooling coils - Cooling coils in
rear of dehumidifier may get frost covered if
room temperature or amount of moisture in air
(relative humidity) is too low. This condition
usually happens in fall, winter, or spring months.
The dehumidifier is designed to remove
moisture when room temperature is above 43
Degrees F (6 C). Manufacturer does not
recommend operating dehumidifier in room
temperatures above 95 Degrees F (35 C). All
models are equipped with automatic system to
defrost coils. Defrost cycle operates on pre­programmed time frame or temperature sensing
control. “HG” models include electronic timer
and hot Gas valve to ensure coils are quickly
defrosted. Preprogrammed cycle is initiated
twice per hour.

Disposal of water:

1. All models are equipped with a 2-1/2 gallon (9­1/2 liter) capacity water receptor and automatic
shut-off system to prevent overflow when

receptor is full. When water in receptor rises to
full level, a float switch shuts off system and
turns on red light on front panel. Receptor
should then be removed and emptied. You will
notice that when receptor is removed, system
will begin operating unless control dial has been
turned to "OFF" position.

2. To empty receptor, turn control dial to "OFF"
position. Take hold of receptor with both hands
and carefully slide it out. Empty water and
replace receptor in dehumidifier. Turn control
dial to your desired setting.

3. Use of fitting on drip tray - When you remove
water receptor, you will notice that there is a
threaded fitting on bottom of drip tray. This is
made for attachment of a standard garden hose
that can continuously drain water from drip tray
into a floor drain. When you connect hose fitting
to drip tray, it should turn easily. Do not force
hose fitting onto drip tray as it could damage
threads. Make sure drain hose is below level of
drip tray or it will not drain properly. If you place
dehumidifier directly over a floor drain, a short
piece of hose is required to direct water into
drain or it will drip on dehumidifier frame and
splash out onto floor.

4. Do not throw away receptor. You may need it to
dehumidify area that does not have a floor drain.

Service and maintenance:

For your protection, always disconnect service cord
from electrical outlet and remove water receptor
before starting service and/or maintenance.

1. Cleaning cabinet - Wipe exterior with a soft,
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaning
agents. Dust may be removed with brush
attachment of vacuum cleaner.

2. Cleaning air filter - Remove air filter from rear of
unit by pushing "arrow indicators" gently
inwards. Remove filter. Brush lightly or wash in
warm sudsy water.

3. Cleaning water receptor - Wash in warm sudsy
water. Rinse and dry.

4. Storage - Thoroughly clean and dry
dehumidifier. Cover and store in clean, dry area.

5. Service hint - To save yourself unnecessary
expense, make following checks before
delivering your dehumidifier to service center.
A. Insufficient moisture removal - little or no

water collection.

1) Poor air circulation - See "Choosing a
location," item 2.

2) Room temperature and relative humidity
– See "Operating your dehumidifier,”
item 3.

B. Runs continuously.

1) Check humidistat control setting. Is it on
"Max Dry"?

2) Are windows and doors closed?

3) Is area too large for capacity of unit?

C. Dehumidifier will not start.

1) Check control dial.

2) Check outlet. Plug lamp or other
appliance into outlet to make certain
power is available.

3) Check fuse or circuit breaker.

4) Replacement of power cord should only
be carried out by properly trained and
equipped personal.

Electrical Information:

1. Available power supply must agree with that
listed on dehumidifier data plate. NEVER plug
your dehumidifier into an extension cord, only
plug your dehumidifier into a wall outlet that is
rated at or above electrical requirements noted
on data label.

2. Never operate a dehumidifier in environment
where it is likely that standing water will
accumulate around unit. If this condition should
occur, FOR YOUR SAFETY, UNPLUG
DEHUMIDIFIER CORD before stepping into
water accumulated around dehumidifier.

3. DO NOT operate dehumidifier if it is in a
damaged condition.

4. If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by manufacturer or its service agent or a suitably
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
