Installing it properly
^WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
Because your dehumidifier weighs
between 50 lbs. (22.5 kg) and 75 lbs.
(33.75 kg), depending on the amount of
water collected in the pan, it is recom
mended that you use proper lifting
techniques when lifting or moving your
unit.
Failure to do so could result in personal
injury.
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.
