Electrical Information

•For your safety and protection, this dehumidifier is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug on the power cord. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round ground prong from the plug.

•Your dehumidifier must be plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized three-prong receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use will not accept a three-prong plug, or if you are not sure the outlet is adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper outlet according to the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

•Never unplug the dehumidifier by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

•Do not pinch, bend, or knot the power cord.

Location

Selecting

a

Location

IMPORTANT:

1.

Dehumidifier

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

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

effectiveness

of the dehumidifier

depends

on the

rate at

which

new

moisture-laden

air enters

the

room.

2.

Place dehumidifier

in a location

that

does

not

restrict

airflow

through

the

front of the unit or out of the louvers on the sides of cabinet.

3.

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. It may be necessary

to

install

a

second dehumidifier

in the enclosed area for satisfactory

drying.

4. The

dehumidifier

must be

installed

on a level

floor that will

support

it

with a full bucket of water.

5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumi-

difier.

How It Works

When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.

The unit is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C), and 96°F (35°C).

If the unit is switched off and needs to be switched on again, wait three minutes before doing so.

Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.
