Dehumidifier Facts

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL CODES AND ORDINANCES.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON THIS APPLIANCE

A 115-VOLT 60Hz, AC ONLY, 15A FUSED AND PROPERLY GROUNDED ELECTRI- CAL SUPLLY IS REQUIRED.

A time delay fuse or time delay circuit breaker is recommended. Use a dedi- cated circuit serving only this appliance.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance has a power supply cord with a 3-prong grounded plug. To minimize possible shock hazard the cord must be plugged into a matching grounded electrical out- let that complies with the latest edition of the National Electrical Codes and all local codes and ordinances.

If a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet is not available, it is the personal responsi- bility and obligation of the customer to have one installed by a qualified electri- cian.

RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY LEVELS ACCORDING TO ENERGY STAR

∙Spring/Summer: 30% - 50%

∙Fall/Winter: 30% - 40%

WARM AIR EXHAUST IS NORMAL

During operation your dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the side of the unit. This is normal operation.

EMPTYING THE BUCKET

The more moisture your dehumidifier removes from the air, the more often you may have to empty the bucket (unless you are using the continuous drainage option). The number of times the bucket will be emptied depends on the dehu-

LESS MOISTURE BEING REMOVED OVER TIME IS A GOOD THING!

Using a dehumidifier will cause your area to maintain a more comfortable hu- midity level. Over time, this humidity level will become more and more sta- ble. Due to the stable humidity level in the area, the dehumidifier will need to

INSTALLING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

remove less and less moisture over time.

∙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 operat- ing the dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will add to the unit's workload.

∙Leave the dehumidifier in an upright position for 30 minutes before turning on.

DEFROST OPERATION

The dehumidifier has a built-in defrost control that senses frost buildup on the evaporator coils.

During defrosting, the compressor will automatically turn off; the fan will contin- ue running to defrost the coils.

Please do not be concerned if the dehumidifier is removing less moisture from the air or the bucket is taking longer to fill up. This is a direct result of your de- humidifier creating a more stable humidity level in your area.

DON’T REMOVE THE STYROFOAM IN THE BUCKET!

All Soleus Air dehumidifiers are equipped with a reliable Styrofoam float sys- tem. The Styrofoam located inside the float in the bucket is essential to the bucket full system working properly. Please do not remove the Styrofoam from the float.
