Safety

•Do not place the power cord or dehumidifi- er unit near a heater.

•Do not use an electrical outlet near flam- mable or combustible materials such as gasoline, propane, paint thinners, etc.

•Do not disassemble or modify dehumidifier parts or components. It may cause electric shock and failure.

•Plug in the power cord properly.

•Do not turn the unit on and off by inserting or pulling out the power plug.

•Do not damage the power cord or use an unspecified power cord.

•Do not modify power cord length.

•Do not share the outlet with another appli- ance.

•Always plug into a grounded outlet. Not grounding unit may cause electrical shock.

•Unplug the unit if it emits strange sounds, odors, or smoke.

•Do not use an electrical outlet if it is loose or damaged.

•Do not operate or plug in unit with wet hands or in a wet environment.

•Ventilate area before operating dehumidifi- er. Check for the presence of natural gas

or the buildup of other combustible vapors.

•Do not clean the dehumidifier with water. Water may enter the unit and degrade the insulation resulting in an electrical shock.

•If water enters the product, turn off the de- humidifier's power switch, then unplug the unit. Do not plug in unit until it has been inspected by an authorized repair service.

•Because the fan rotates at high speed dur- ing operation, always unplug dehumidifier before attempting any recommended maintenance or cleaning.

•Do not block the inlet or outlet. It may cause unit to fail or to operate inefficiently.

•Do not remove plug from outlet by pulling on the cord.

•When not in use, turning the unit off will save energy. Unplug the dehumidifier when not using for long periods of time.

•When removing the filter, be aware that some metal parts may have sharp edges and may cause injury.

•Do not use the water collected in the bucket for drinking purposes. It is not sanitary and could cause illness.

•Do not allow children to play with this product.

Tips

•Make sure the dehumidifier is the correct size for the area you want to dehumidify. It is not designed to dehumidify the entire house.

•For proper operation, the dehumidifier should only be placed on a level floor.

•Close all doors, windows and other openings to the room. The dehumidifier must operate in an enclosed area to be effective.

•To clean, use a soft cloth; do not use wax, thinners, or strong detergents as they may change the color of the unit or cause surface damage.

•Be sure to replace the bucket properly after emptying to prevent water from col- lecting on the floor causing damage to some types of flooring.

•Do not put a pet or house plant where it will be exposed to direct air flow. This could injure the pet or plant.

•Operation without filter will cause unit failure. Insert the filter securely. Clean it every two weeks. (See Care and Mainte- nance section in this manual on page 13).
