OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.

HOW THE DEHUMIDIFIER OPERATES

Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated dehu- midifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on this coil and drains into a bucket (or through a hose and drain).

Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser

where it is heated and discharged out the top grille into the room.

It is normal for the surrounding air to become slight- ly warmer as the dehumidifier operates.

CHOOSING A LOCATION

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.

Do not use outdoors.

This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications.

Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.

Allow at least 12–18 inches of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.

Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41°F, which may reduce performance.

Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from the clothes dryer.

Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.

Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the com- pressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.

When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on model) will automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.

The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.

Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.

NOTE: The dehumidifier has rollers to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over objects. Be careful when moving the unit on hard- wood floors (incase of scratching) always protect floors.

DDR3011, DDR6511, DDR4511 specifications

The Danby DDR series includes the DDR4511, DDR6511, and DDR3011 models—three portable dehumidifiers designed to create a comfortable living environment by efficiently removing excess moisture from the air. Each model caters to different space sizes and moisture reduction needs, making them versatile solutions for homes, basements, and offices.

The Danby DDR4511 is suitable for medium-sized spaces, capable of removing up to 45 pints of moisture per day. One of its standout features is the Energy Star certification, which ensures energy-efficient operation. This model also comes equipped with an easy-to-read LED display and an adjustable humidistat that allows users to set their desired humidity level. The auto-restart function is another valuable feature, automatically resuming operation after a power outage, which is essential for maintaining consistent humidity control.

Moving to the Danby DDR6511, this model is designed for larger areas, offering a capacity to extract up to 65 pints of moisture from the air daily. It shares many features with the DDR4511 but includes additional technologies for enhanced performance. The DDR6511 features a built-in pump, allowing for continuous drainage without the hassle of manual tank emptying—a significant advantage for users with larger spaces or those who prefer a low-maintenance option. The dehumidifier also features a quiet operation mode, making it suitable for use in bedrooms or quiet offices.

On the other hand, the Danby DDR3011 is tailored for smaller spaces while still delivering effective moisture removal, with a capacity of up to 30 pints per day. It is particularly advantageous for tight areas, such as laundry rooms and small basements. Like its counterparts, it is Energy Star rated for lower energy consumption. The DDR3011 also includes a convenient auto-restart feature and a defrost function which allows it to operate efficiently even in cooler environments.

All three models feature a removable, easy-to-clean air filter, which helps improve air quality by capturing dust and allergens. Additionally, they are equipped with a sleek design that blends well with various home aesthetics. With user-friendly controls and reliable performance, the Danby DDR4511, DDR6511, and DDR3011 are excellent choices for anyone looking to manage humidity levels effectively in their living spaces.
