Humidity Control
•When you first use the dehumidifier, turn the humidity control to 5 or 6. If you still have moisture, turn the humidity control to a higher setting.
MAX is the highest setting.
•When excess moisture and dampness odors are gone, adjust the control to a lower setting. Use the dehumidifier as long as excess moisture is present.
Fan Speed
•Glows when the bucket is ready to be emptied, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position.
•The Water Level Control Switch shuts off the dehumidifier when the bucket is full, or when the bucket is removed or not replaced in the proper position.
1.6HOW TO OPERATE DEHUMIDIFIER
1.6.1HOW DOES THE DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?
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 over the condenser where it is actually heated several degrees 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.
1.6.2 LOCATION FOR THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Allow at least 12 inches of space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.
■The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area 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.
•The fan control adjusts the 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 LOW.
