Installation Instructions
Your dehumidifier will remove moisture from the air and collect the excess water in a bucket. You can use the EdgeStar dehumidifier to create a comfortable environment and prevent damage caused by moisture to books or valuables in areas such as basements or home libraries. Follow the instructions below to unpack and set up your unit.
1)Carefully unpack the dehumidifier from its box and packaging material, and remove the adhesive tape holding the water bucket and filter in place. You may want to save the box for storing and transporting the unit. Let the unit sit upright for at least 24 hours before powering it on to allow the compressor’s fluids to settle.
2)Place the dehumidifier on a level floor or surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water in a room where the ambient temperature will not drop below 41°F, and away from any heat sources such as direct sunlight, heaters, radiators, dryers, etc.
Allow at least 10 inches of space all around the unit and at least 20 inches of space above the unit.

If you have multiple power outlets in the room, choose one that is near the dehumidifier and that will be able to provide adequate power to the unit. See the power requirements listed on the product label printed on the side, or on the back of your dehumidifier.
3)Close all windows and doors. To be most effective, use the dehumidifier in a contained room. For example, use it in a room with four walls and a ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.
4)To activate the unit and ensure the warning switches are engaged, remove the water bucket and reinstall it; otherwise, the unit may not work properly.
5)Plug the unit in to a grounded outlet. (Read the Safety Information section.)
6)When first using the unit, press the Power button on the top of the unit and run it in continuous mode for 24 hours.
