DEHUMIDIFIERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARN ING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury or sickness when using your dehumidifier, follow these

basic precautions: [] Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

[] Do not remove ground prong. [] Do not use an adapter.

[] Do not use an extension cord. [] Unplug dehumidifier before servicing.

[] Do not drink water collected in the water bucket.

INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below. Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply

cord.

Power supply cord Wiring requirements

• 115 volt (103.5 min. to

• 15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker

126.5 max.)

A. Allow at least 12" to 18" (30.5 to 45.7 crn) of air space.

You will need a level surface strong enough to support the dehumidifier when its bucket is full of water.

Keep all outside doors, windows and other openings closed when you are operating dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will

increase dehumidifier workload. Install dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not

fall below: 65°F (18°C) for Control Type I (model AD25B), 55°F (13°C) for Control Type 1 (model AD25D) and Control Type 2, 38°F (3°C) for Control Types 3 and 4. Lower temperatures will cause your performance to drop.

• Do not block the louvers on the front panel.

Recommended grounding method

This dehumidifier must be grounded. This dehumidifier is

equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical

installer. It is the customer's responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrical installer.

• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSl/NFPA 70 -

latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:
