Shut Down Mode
Pressing the power button after the first minute of operation will initiate a shut-down mode. This mode
will last 15 minutes and will maintain the operation of the fan and purge pump to insure all water is

removed from the unit prior to moving or storing. Pressing the power button at any time during the shut
down mode will immediately shut down the unit and bypass the remainder of the shutdown mode. The
unit must be purged by pressing the purge button if bypassing the shutdown mode to avoid water
overflow.
The display will change during shutdown mode to a countdown timer that will indicate the
time remaining before the unit shuts completely off.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Functions
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.

restored.
Pump Purge Function
In normal operation, the pump will automatically empty the reservoir. Pressing the purge button
(figure 3) runs the pump for 1 minute allowing manual emptying of the reservoir. The pump purge
will function in all modes as long as the unit is plugged in.
Hour Meter Display
The cumulative hours will be displayed during normal operation. If the unit is off (even unplugged)
pressing the hour button (figure 4) will also display the accumulative hours briefly.
Venting / Ducting
Twin rear outlets (figure 5) can accommodate two individual 5" ducts or one 10" lay flat duct to be
attached. This allows for warm dry air to be directed into different areas.

Maintenance

Air Filter
The air filter should be checked regularly. Operating the dehumidifier with a clogged filter will reduce
efficiency. To access the filter, slide the filter frame up until it clears the dehumidifier cabinet
(figure 6). Reverse procedure to re-install the filter into the dehumidifier. Metal filters should be
washed with soap and water, and paper filters should be replaced.
Paper filter size is a nominal 12" x 12" x 1"
Operating the unit without the filter in place will cause reduced efficiency due to dirty coils and
increase the frequency of internal coil cleaning.
Stacking
The dehumidifiers can be stacked on top of each other (figure 7). The wheels from the upper unit
must be resting in the cradle of the lower unit. DO NOT STACK MORE THAN TWO HIGH.
Battery Replacement
Disconnect power supply before replacing battery.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock
Disconnect dehumidifier from power supply. The hour meter uses a battery backup for display when the
dehumidifier is unplugged and the hour button is depressed. To change the battery, it is necessary to remove
the four (4) screws from the control panel. Disconnect the old battery and replace with new battery.
Replace control panel and screws. Do not overtighten screws.

Air Filter (Fig. 7)
The air filter should be checked regularly. Operating the dehu-

vacuum cleaned to remove dust. To access the filter media, slide
the filter frame up until it clears the dehumidifier cabinet. Remove
the filter media from behind the frame and vacuum. Reverse pro-

Pump Purge Button (Fig. 2)
In normal operation, the pump will automat-
ically empty the reservoir. Pressing this but-
ton allows manual emptying of the reservoir.
Press once, and the pump will operate for
20 seconds. Press and hold the button and
the pump will activate for 30 seconds.
Always manually purge the water reservoir
before transport or storage. Turn off the
power and allow the plugged in dehumidifier
to rest 5 minutes before the final purge.

The counter will accumulate and display the total running hours
of the unit in 1/10 of an hour.

Defrost Cycle
When ice builds up on the coils, a thermistor activates the elec-
tronic control and defrost light. The compressor is turned off by
the thermistor temperature measurement. The blower will contin-
