Installing it properly
Personal Injury Hazard
Because your dehumidifier weighs between 50 Ibs. (22.5 kg) and 75 Ibs. (33.75 kg), depending on the amount of water collected in the pan, it is recommended that you use proper lifting techniques when lifting or moving your unit.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
1.Allow at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.
2.Install the unit on a floor, table or shelf. When installing the unit on a table or shelf, be sure it is strong enough to support the unit with a full pan of water. A table or shelf may be a better position from which to handle the water pan. Do not sit or stand on this product. The height of a table or shelf may help prevent icing of coils due to colder air near the floor (such as can be found in a basement).
3.Keep all outside doors, windows and other openings closed when dehumidifier is operat- ing. Humid outdoor air will add to the dehumidifier’s operating load.
4.The water pan must be properly positioned, on the hangers inside the cabinet, when dehumidifier is operating in order for the automatic
5.On most models, two rollers let you move the dehumidifier easily. Remove the water pan, tilt the unit forward and roll it to another position.
If your model does not have rollers, pick up the unit to move it to another position.
