When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.

How the Dehumidifier Operates

Automatic Defrost

Safety Instructions

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 and drain).

Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where it is heated and discharged out the top grille into the room.

It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly warmer as the dehumidifier operates.

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.

When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.

Operating

Choosing a Location

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.

Do not use outdoors.

This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for commercial or industrial applications.

Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.

Allow at least 12–18 inches of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.

Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41°F, which may reduce performance.

Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from the clothes dryer.

Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.

Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.

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

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

The General Electric (GE) AHR and AHW series of heat pumps and air conditioning units represent a significant advancement in temperature control technology, offering a range of models designed to meet diverse residential and commercial needs. The AHR40, AHW40, AHR30, AHW65, and AHW30 are notable models within this lineup, showcasing a variety of features and technologies aimed at improving energy efficiency, cooling performance, and user convenience.

One of the standout features across the AHR and AHW series is the use of advanced inverter technology. Inverter technology allows these units to adjust their compressor speed dynamically, which not only results in more efficient energy usage but also ensures a more consistent temperature throughout the space. This technology minimizes energy wastage, lowering utility bills and enhancing environmental sustainability.

The AHR40 and AHW40 models are particularly noted for their compact design, which makes them ideal for residential installations where space may be constrained. Both units offer impressive SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings, which signify their efficiency in cooling operation. Additionally, they are equipped with whisper-quiet operation capabilities, ensuring that they contribute to a comfortable environment without disruptive noise.

For larger spaces, the AHW65 model provides powerful performance without compromising on efficiency. This model is engineered to handle greater cooling demands, making it suitable for larger homes or commercial spaces. Its robust construction and advanced features cater to environments where high-performance cooling is essential.

Meanwhile, the AHR30 and AHW30 models are designed with a focus on reliability and ease of use. These models often incorporate user-friendly interfaces, allowing for straightforward temperature adjustments and settings. Furthermore, they are designed to be environmentally conscious, frequently using refrigerants with lower global warming potential, aligning with modern energy standards and regulations.

Across the entire series, GE ensures that all units come with comprehensive warranty packages, reflecting confidence in their durability and performance. Regular maintenance points are also designed into the units, making it easier for homeowners and technicians alike to ensure optimum functioning over time.

In summary, the GE AHR40, AHW40, AHR30, AHW65, and AHW30 models represent cutting-edge solutions in climate control technology, with a focus on efficiency, performance, and user experience. Whether for a small residential setting or a larger commercial application, these units are engineered to deliver comfort while prioritizing sustainability and energy savings.
