Before Using Your Dehumidifier
Install properly
Personal Injury Hazard
Because your dehumidifier weighs between 50 and 75 Ibs. (depending on the
amount of water collected in the pan), it is
recommended 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.
4. The water pan must be properly posi-
tioned,
when dehumidifier is operating in order for the
automatic shut-off to operate correctly.
5. On most models, two rollers let you easily
move the dehumidifier. Remove the water
pan. Tilt unit forward and roll to another
position.
