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 the bucket into a hose and drain).

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

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

This warming effect further reduces the relative humidity of the surrounding air.

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.

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 65°F (18°C). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 65°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.

NOTE: The dehumidifier has rollers to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over objects.

Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer

Automatic Defrost

When the dehumidifier control senses frost buildup on the evaporator coil, it will automatically shut off the compressor. The fan will continue

to run to draw air across the coil and melt the frost.

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