Kenmore C675-25010 How Your Kenmore Dehumidifier Operates, Before Using Your Kenmore Dehumidifier

HOW YOUR KENMORE DEHUMIDIFIER OPERATES

The fan which has a permanently lubricated motor, draws moisture-laden air over a refrigerat- ed evaporator coil which condenses the moisture and returns the treated, dry air to the room.

The automatic water overflow control stops the unit when the moisture collecting pan is full and (on some models) a signal light reminds you to empty the pan. The unit starts again automatical- ly when the pan is removed for emptying so be sure to replace the pan immediately.

A hose can be attached to the dehumidifier for continuous drainage of collected water. The automatic humidistat (on models so equipped) maintains your room at the desired degree of dryness.

BEFORE USING YOUR

KENMORE DEHUMIDIFIER

Electrical Requirements

It is best to use a separate 115-volts, 60 cycle, AC grounded, 15-ampere breaker or time delay fuse protected electrical supply. This will help to eliminate current fluctuation, which might cause compressor trouble.

Grounding Instructions

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL GOVERNING CODES AND REGULATIONS.

Do not, under any circumstances, remove the power supply cord ground prong.

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance has a power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. To avoid possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding-type wall recep- tacle, grounded in accordance with the Canadian or Provincial Electrical Code and local regula- tions. If a mating wall outlet is not available, it is your responsibility and obligation

to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

OPERATION OF YOUR

KENMORE DEHUMIDIFIER

WARNING: Do not use dehumidifier near highly volatile substances, such as gasoline.

(a)Allow the unit to warm to room temperature before operating.

(b)Your Kenmore Dehumidifier can be placed almost anywhere but don't block either end of the unit. The dehumidifier takes air from the back and blows it out from the front. So wherever you place it, be sure there's enough room for good air movement and moisture pan removal. Minimum recommended distance 4".

(c)Your dehumidifier can be operated in an out-of-the-way area and still effectively dry out adjoining areas. However, it is helpful to leave doors open between these areas so the moisture in the air can move from room to room.

(d)To dehumidify a specific area, close all doors and windows leading to that area.

ROOM TEMPERATURE

A Kenmore Dehumidifier will work most effec- tively at temperatures above 18°C (65°F). Refer to the performance chart on Page 6.

The coil of any dehumidifier can become blocked with ice at room temperatures below 18°C (65°F). Ice build up on the coil stops the air flow through the dehumidifier and it stops dehumidifying even though it keeps running.
