SETUP
• Dehumidier should have at least 12 inches of space on all sides for good circulation.
• Keep all doors and windows closed in the area the dehumidifier is located.
• Keep the unit away from sources of dirt, dust, or any woodworking equipment.
DRAINING OPTIONS
• The auto-pump system on this dehumidifier is designed to
start pumping water out of the internal reservoir when the
water level reaches the half-full level. Water can be pumped
vertically up to 10 feet.
• Or, you can use the manual drain outlet, if you have a floor drain
that is at a lower point than the unit, so water drains by gravity.
Note: Auto-pump will not operate if manual drain is set up.
