Kenmore 580.5145 owner manual Defrost Control

•Install the dehumidifier on a level floor strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.

•For best performance, allow at least 12-18 inches of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.

•Keep all outside doors, windows, and other

openings closed when operating the dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will add to the

unit'swork load.

•Install your dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 65°F (18°C). At temperatures below this, the coils can become covered with frost.

NOTE: If frost occurs, the unit will cycle on and off. This is normal. Unplug the unit (or turn the unit off) until the frost melts and the room temperature rises.

DEFROST CONTROL

When the defrost control senses frost build-up 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 resume.

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

•Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing, and dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.

•Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture

damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.
