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
•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.
