    • DO NOT locate return in a bathroom or kitchen. • Control should be located remotely from the dehumidifier and placed in a central location. • Please visit our website at www.Broan-NuTone.com for more installation options. Dedicated Return to HVAC Supply...
  • Page 10: Fresh Air Ventilation

    FRESH AIR VENTILATION Fresh air ventilation is optional. Fresh air may be brought into the structure by connecting an insulated duct from outside the structure to the 6" inlet of the Dehumidifier. A ventilation control is needed to program the time and frequency that the unit introduces outside air.
  • Page 11: Determine Ventilation Requirements

    FRESH AIR VENTILATION Determine Ventilation Requirements The MINIMUM ventilation requirement is calculated using ASHRAE 62.2-2016. Use one or both of the options below to determine your ventilation requirement. Follow all local and national building and safety codes. Option 1: Calculating Airflow Requirement Using ASHRAE 62.2-2016 Airflow Equation ASHRAE Airflow in CFM = [House Area in Sq.Ft.
  • Page 12: Controls

    To prevent damage to the 24 volt control Rear View transformer, the Dehumidifier comes with a resettable circuit breaker. Check wiring for any B98DHV B120DHV electrical short and repair before resetting breaker. Resetting the circuit breaker without correcting the electrical short may result in transformer damage.
  • Page 13 Dehumidifier may not be used. Be sure to consult the electrical schematic in this manual or inside the access panel of the Dehumidifier before making control connections. A low voltage control must be used with the Dehumidifier. B98DHV Terminal Block Control Operation: 24VAC Power Transformer Neutral Side Fan Control Transformer High Side...
  • Page 14: Air Filtration

    AIR FILTRATION The Dehumidifier is equipped with a MERV-13 (Dimensions: 1.75” x 14.00” x 17.50”) filter. The filter should be checked and replaced every three to six months. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency. DO NOT operate the unit without the recommended filter.
