2. SETTING THE AIR CYCLE PERIOD AND CYCLE TIME
The air cycle period and cycle time are set during installation to meet the individual needs of your home. Detailed instructions are laid out in the dehumidifier installation manual. It is not recommended that adjustment be made after initial set up.
III. OUTDOOR VENTILATION OPTION
If an Aprilaire®
VENTILATION CONTROL LIMITS
In a standard installation, your Aprilaire® Dehumidifier will use measurements of outdoor temperature along with the user adjustable time settings to determine when to ventilate with outdoor air. The ventilation damper will not bring in outside air if the outside temperature is above 100°F or below 0°F. The ventilation damper will allow outside air to be brought in when the temperature is between 20°F and 0°F only during a heat call. In timed mode, outdoor air is taken based on the time setting only, regardless of temperature.
IV. MAINTENANCE
AIR FILTER
Under normal circumstances, the filter in the dehumidifier should be cleaned or replaced once a year. A clean filter is necessary to prevent damage to the dehumidifier and allow it to function at full capacity. To remove the filter, first unplug or disconnect power to the dehumidifier, then remove the air filter via the access panel on the side of the dehumidifier. To clean, flush with warm water and detergent solution. After a clean or new filter is reinstalled, replace the access panel and reconnect power to the dehumidifier. The replacement filter for the dehumidifier is Model 4510 and is available from your installing contractor or from most other HVAC contractors in your area.
DRAIN
The drain trap or outlet should be checked and cleaned of debris annually. Flush it with water under pressure to ensure opening is clear.
