Filter Timer

After 250 hours of operation, the Clean the Filter indicator light will glow to remind you to clean the filter. Remove the filter and clean it.

Press to turn off the Clean the Filter light. See the Care and Cleaning section.

When you first use the dehumidifier, set the humidity control to 45% or 50%. Allow at least 24 hours for the dehumidifier to achieve the humidity level. If you still have damper air than desired, set the humidity level to a lower setting or select Continuous for maximum dehumidification.

Display

Shows the set % humidity level while setting, then shows the actual (+/– 5% accuracy) room % humidity level.

TroubleshootingTips Care

Humidity Set Control Pads

The humidity level can be set within a range of 35% RH (Relative Humidity) to 80% RH (Relative Humidity) in 5% increments or at CO for continuous operation.

NOTE: If CO (Continuous) is selected, the dehumidifier will operate continuously at its maximum dehumidification settings if attached to a hose to drain or until the bucket is full.

For drier air, press the ▼ pad and set to a lower percent value (%).

For damper air, press the ▲ pad and set to a higher percent value (%).

Fan Speed Pad

Controls the fan speed.

Press to select either High, Medium or Low fan speed.

Set the fan control to High for maximum moisture removal. When the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is preferred, set the fan control to Medium or Low.

Delay Off

While the dehumidifier is in operation, press this pad to set it to automatically turn off in 2 hours or 4 hours.

Other Features

Consumer Support

BUCKET FULL Light

Glows when the bucket is ready to be emptied, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position.

Alarm

AHW30 specifications

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.
