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 12"-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 cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas that have excessive
moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from a clothes dryer.

Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valuables are stored.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.
When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically restart and
dehumidification will resume.
