Automatic Humidity Control
The humidistat control automatically turns your dehumidifier on or off to maintain the humidity level you select. Allow dehumidifier to reach room temperature, then turn control knob to number 5 (normal average setting). The fan and compressor will run together, dehumidifying the room. If unit does not turn on at this setting, this generally means that the relative humidity is already low and dehumidification may not be needed at this time.
After operating several days at this setting with doors and windows closed, you may readjust this control to a slightly higher number for lower humidity (drier air) or to a slightly lower number for higher humidity (moist air).
If knob is turned to “Continuous Run” then the compressor will run regardless of actual room humidity. If not properly monitored, this setting could cause excess energy usage.
