Meeting electrical requirements . . . ..E
Proper installation and electrical grounding is important for obtaining the best possible results
from your dehumidifier. This section tells you how to install your unit and how to connect it to
the proper electrical supply.
Installing it properly
Personal Injury Hazard
Because your dehumidifier weighs
between 50 Ibs. (22.5 kg) and 75 Ibs.
(33.75 kg), depending on the amount of
water collected in the pan, it is recommended that you use proper lifting
techniques when lifting or moving your
I
unit.
Failure to do so could result in personal
I
1. Allow at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of
space on all sides of the unit for good air
circulation.
2. Install the unit on a floor, table or shelf.
When installing the unit on a table or
shelf, be sure it is strong enough to
support the unit with a full pan of water.
A table or shelf may be a better position
from which to handle the water pan. Do
not sit or stand on this product. The height
of a table or shelf may help prevent icing
of coils due to colder air near the floor
(such as can be found in a basement).
3. Keep all outside doors, windows and other
openings closed when dehumidifier is
operating. Humid outdoor air will add to
the dehumidifier’s operating load.
