Owner's Manual

Positioning the unit

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying 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 dehumidifer is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used
for commercial or industrial applications.
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Allow at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides of
the unit and 15 inches above the unit for good air circulation.
Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not
fall below 41 F(5 C). The coils can become covered with
frost at temperatures below 41 F(5 C), which may reduce
performance.
Place the unit away from sources of heat such as clothes dryer,
heater or radiator.
Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books
or valuables 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.
W hen using the unit
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit
continuously 24 hours.
This unit is designed to operate with a working
environment between 41 F(5 C) and 95 F(35 C).
If the unit has been switched off and needs to be
switched on again quickly, allow approximately
three minutes for operation to resume.
Do not connect the dehumidifier to an electrical
outlet, which is also being used for other electrical
appliances.
Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy
access to an electrical outlet.
Plug the unit into a electrical socket-outlet with a
proper ground connection.
Make sure the Water bucket is correctly seated in
position otherwise the unit will not operate properly.
