Frigidaire 327000009 Removing Collected Water, Bucket Removal, Operating Conditions Continued

Dehumidifier Features

(continued)

Operating Conditions (Continued)

A dehumidifier will not eliminate frost on windows during winter. The dehumidifying coil normally operates above freezing temperatures and cannot prevent moisture from condensing on the inside of a window pane that is below freezing.

TIP: It may be helpful to use a dehumidifier in the kitchen or laundry area where the humidity is high. Reducing humidity in these areas may reduce frost on windows in other parts of the home.

Frost Control

The Frost Control feature prevents frost or ice from remaining on the dehumidifying coil for an extended period of time. When frost formation occurs, this control turns off the compressor. The fan continues to run, causing any frost or ice to melt. Dehumidifier will then resume normal operation.

Frost Control is also designed to prevent excessive on-off cycling. Under certain conditions this may allow frost to remain on coil for some time before the compressor turns off and the frost is cleared.

Bucket and Float Installation

Removing Collected Water

All models are supplied with a bucket, which is conveniently tucked into the front of the unit to accumulate water removed from the air, or use the built-in hose connection to carry water directly to a drain.

When using the bucket the Automatic Shut-Off switch is activated by a float. The Automatic Shut-Off switch stops the unit before the bucket overflows, and turns the unit on again after the bucket is emptied and replaced.

The bucket and float must be installed correctly for proper operation (Figure 1).
