automatic pump feature with included 18 ft. hose

To select the pump as your water removal option,

press the pump button (4). When the pump

indicator (13) is on, the pump will automatically

Low room humidity indicator (7) will light when

unit detects low humidity levels.

Dehumidifier pint capacity is defined as how much moisture it can draw out of the air in a 24 hour period in 80 degrees F and 60% Relative Humidity. Once humidity begins to drop from 60%, the amount of moisture in the air begins to fall, which will result in less water in your bucket.

NOTE: THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER FAILURE AUTO RESTART. IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE THIS UNIT WILL TURN BACK ON TO ITS LAST SETTING ONCE POWER IS RESTORED.

1. Power ON/OFF

Pressing button (1) will turn the machine on. Pushing again will turn the machine off. Please note unit may run on and off depending on humidity levels and programmed humidity set.

3. Select Your Fan Speed

By pressing fan speed button (2), fan speed will change. The indicator (8) of selected fan speed will light (High or Low). In Auto Mode, fan speed will adjust the fan speed automatically depending how close the room humidity is to 50%. For example, if the room is 70%, the unit will need to pull in air quickly, so it will turn on high. Once the room reaches 55%, the unit will slow the amount of air flow and turn the fan on low. Fan Speed can be adjusted in all settings except for auto mode.
