Important Grounding Requirements

Your Dehumidifier will operate on any 115 volt, 3-pronged (grounded), 60 Hz circuit. A separate line is not required, but it is advisable not to overload the circuit with heavy duty appliances such as washing machines, etc. For your safety, this dehumidifier is equipped with a 3-pronged, grounding plug and must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet (Figs. 1 & 2). If your outlet is not of the proper type, it is your responsibility to have the outlet and wiring changed to the correct type. DO NOT cut off the third (grounding) prong.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
