INTRODUCTION
How it Works
When the dehumidifier is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying
coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the top louver into the
room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a water bucket on the front of the
dehumidifier.
The appliance is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C), and 96°F (35°C). The compressor circuit has
an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the appliance is turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the water bucket is fitted
correctly otherwise appliance will not turn on.

the best performance and efficiency from your dehumidifier.
Do not cover the air intake and outlet.
Do not place the appliance in front of curtains or drapes - to ensure they do not obstruct the air
intake.
Keep curtains, blinds or drapes closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Close all windows and doors.
Indoor relative humidity should ideally be kept between 35%RH and 60%RH depending on the
ambient temperature.
Make sure the appliance is on a hard and level surface.
To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes before turning the appliance back
on after shutting it off.
Inspect and keep the air filter clean by cleaning regularly.
Perform routine maintenance.
