Important Precautions

• The device is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from rain and flooding.

• Install the unit with enough space to access one of the side panels for maintenance and service.

• Avoid directing the discharge air at people. The dehumidifier should be used in the upright position.

• If used near a water source, be certain there is no chance the unit could fall into the water or get splashed and

that it is plugged into a dedicated circuit and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.

• DO NOT use the dehumidifier as a bench or table.

• DO NOT place the dehumidifier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or

unwanted noise may result. Place the Dehumidifier on supports to raise the base of the unit.

• A drain pan with a float switch MUST be placed under the dehumidifier if installed above a living area or above

an area where water leakage could cause damage.

Location Considerations

• Allow sufficient clearance to handle the unit's overall

dimensions as well as the necessary return and

supply ductwork to the unit.

• Allow sufficient clearance for filter removal and to

prevent airflow obstruction.

• Electrical service access will require the removal of

a side panel. Allow sufficient clearance on a side of

the unit.

• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the cord's

length (9') easily reaches a 115 VAC electrical outlet

with a minimum of a 15 Amp circuit capacity.

• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where field wiring

the control (low voltage) to the unit will be possible.

• It is recommended that a backdraft damper be

used in the discharge duct of the

Dehumidifier, especially when connecting to the supply ducting system. The backdraft damper prevents supply

air from counter flowing through the Dehumidifier when it is not operating. The dehumidifier's

location should be chosen to allow installation of this accessory if necessary.

• The Dehumidifier may be suspended from structural members with steel hanger straps or a suitable

alternative, ensuring the assembly supports the dehumidifier's base in its entirety. DO NOT hang the

Dehumidifier from its cabinet.

• Allow for proper routing and drainage of needed drain pipes.

CAUTION!

REMOVE COMPRESSOR SHIPPING TIE FROM THE UNIT. FAILURE TO REMOVE SHIPPING TIE

WILL CAUSE EXCESS VIBRATION TO BE TRANSMITTED TO THE FRAME.

Removal of Compressor Shipping Support

The Dehumidifier uses a compressor to power the refrigeration

system. To protect the compressor and refrigeration system during

shipping, a plastic tie wrap secures it to the unit's frame. Remove the

tie wrap by cutting the tie wrap and pulling from the unit as shown.

After removing tie wrap, insert plastic plugs provided into the holes.
