Haier DE45EJ-T manual Before Using Your Dehumidifier, Electrical Safety, Grounding, W A R N I N G

BEFORE USING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

Please read this manual carefully. It contains instructions to help you use, maintain, and get the most use out of your dehumidifier.

Electrical Safety

Grounding

This dehumidifier must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This dehumidifier has a power cord with a grounding wire and a grounded 3-prong plug.

ONLY PLUG INTO AN OUTLET THAT IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED.

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

W A R N I N G

Improper use of the grounding plug can

result in the risk of an electric shock, injury,

fire, or death. Call a qualified electrician if you do

not understand the grounding instructions, or if

you are not sure if the dehumidifier is properly

grounded. If the wall outlet is not grounded,

please contact a professional electrician to have

it replaced with a properly grounded outlet.

Power Supply Cord Wiring Requirements

115 Volt (103.5 min. – 126.5 max)

15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker

Adapter plug is not recommended… however…

Since most 2-prong outlets are not grounded, we strongly advise against using an adapter plug.

HOWEVER, a temporary connection may be made where local codes permit if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded.

FOR SAFETY REASONS, make sure the larger prong of the adapter goes into the large slot.

FOR PROPER GROUNDING

Ground the adapter to the outlet by using the outlet cover screw to secure the ground terminal to the outlet box.

Be absolutely certain that the outlet is grounded through the house wiring. DO NOT USE the dehumidifier until a proper ground has been made.

Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required to reach the nearest wall receptacle, use only a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounding type, 16 AWG, 15A, 125V appliance extension cord.

NO OTHER EXTENSION CORD IS PERMITTED.
