Before you use your dehumidifier
It Is your personal responsibility and obliga-
tion to make sure your dehumldifier:
l Has been properly installed on a floor that is rea-
sonably level.
l Is the right size for the area you want to dehu-
midify.
l Is connected to the right kind of outlet, with the
proper electrical supply and grounding. (Refer to your “Electrical Requirements:‘)
l Is used only for jobs expected of home dehu-
midifiers.
Install Properly..
12 INCHES
-
l Is not used by children or anyone not able to
operate it properly
l Is properly maintained. l Is used in an area where the room temperature
will not fall below 65°F (18.3”C). [48 Pint Model will operate in temperatures down to 50°F [lO”C].]
l Do not remove tech sheet which is inside the
cabinet. Your service technician needs this infor­mation.
1.
On most models, two rollers let you easily move the dehumidifier. Remove the water pan. Tilt unit forward and rolj to another position.
If your model does not have rollers, pick up the unit to move it to another position.
2. Allow at least 12 Inches (30.5 cm] of space around the unit for good air circulation.
3. Keep all outside doors, windows and other openings closed when dehumidifier is operat-
ing. Humid outdoor air will add to the dehu-
midifier’s operating load.
4. Water pan must be properly positioned, on the hangers inside the cabinet, when dehumidifier is operating.
