CHOOSING A LOCATION
A Dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying
out an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
Do not use outdoors.
•
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor use only. Place the dehumidifier on
•
a smooth, level floor surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a
full bucket of water.
Allow at least 18" of air flow on all sides.
•
Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below
•
41°F. The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41°F,
which may reduce performance.
Use the dehumidifier in areas that have excessive moisture such as entry-
•
ways, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms. NOTE: Place the dehu-
midifier away from a clothes dryer.
Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valua-
•
bles are stored.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.
•
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
•
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.
•
AUTOMATIC DEFROST
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run un-
til the frost disappears. When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the mod-
el) will automatically restart and dehumidification will resume.
