Using the dehumidifier.
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously 3 to 4 days.
How the Dehumidifier Operates
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on this coil and drains into a bucket (or through a hose into a drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn over the condenser where it is actually heated several degrees and discharged out the front grille into the room.

Choosing a Location
■The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosedarea to be most effective.■Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.
Place the dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict air flow into the rear coil or out the front grille.
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.
TroubleshootingTips
Removing Collected Water
There are 3 ways to remove collected water:Use the bucket. Turn the control to OFF before removing the bucket.
Use a hose. Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attaching a water hose to the drain connection. Remove the bucket to attach the hose.
Use a floor drain. The unit can also be placed over a floor drain. Make a hole with drill at the end of nozzle located on the lower left side of the bucket.
