SAFETY INFORMATION

Dri-Eaz is concerned about the safety of everyone
who uses or comes in contact with the dehumidifier.
The dehumidifier is designed to be operated in com-
pliance with the safety warnings and instructions pro-
vided in this manual. Like other electrical devices, the
dehumidifier can become dangerous if it is abused,
damaged or misused. Failure to observe the following
warnings can result in injury to persons, fire danger or
damage to the dehumidifier.

SAFETY WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, or per-
sonal injury, read and follow each of the warnings be-
low.
Keep the Dehumidifier Grounded
The dehumidifier is designed to operate on ordinary
household 115 volt, 60 Hertz alternating current and
comes with a three pronged grounding plug. Never
remove or modify this three pronged plug. Do not use

an ungrounded two pronged adapter. The grounding
pin on the dehumidifier's plug is an essential safety
feature that will help reduce the risk of shock or fire in
the event of an electrical hazard.
Removal or alteration of the grounding plug, or use of
an adapter that defeats the dehumidifier's electrical
grounding, can create risk of serious personal injury or
fire in the event of damage to or malfunction of this
product. Do not use the dehumidifier if you cannot
connect it to a receptacle that accepts a three-pronged
plug. If you are unsure whether a receptacle is
grounded, consult a qualified electrician.
Protect the Power Cord from Damage
Never operate the dehumidifier with a damaged or
frayed power cord or extension cord. Never unplug the
dehumidifier by pulling the cord. Grasp the plug firmly
and pull straight out. Do not close a door on the cord,
or pull the cord over or around sharp corners or rough
surfaces. Do not run equipment over the cord or use the
cord as a handle. Keep the cord away from heated sur-
faces and out of standing water.
Keep Out of Water
Do not place the dehumidifier in standing or run-
ning water. Never operate or store the dehumidifier
outdoors or expose the dehumidifier to rain or water
from overhead sources, such as leaking pipes or drip-
ping ceilings. The dehumidifier is not weather proof
and water may drip into its electrical parts and cause
risk of electrical shock or damage to the unit.
The dehumidifier may be operated on a damp surface,
but you should make sure that no water pools around
the machine. If it does, do not operate the dehumidifier
until the surface has dried sufficiently to eliminate
pooling.
Electrical Components Must Be Dry
Never allow water inside the dehumidifier's elec-
trical components. If these area become wet for any
reason, thoroughly dry them before using the dehumi-
difier.
Keep Children Away
The dehumidifier is not a toy. Do not allow children
to play with or around the dehumidifier. Be sure that
the dehumidifier is inaccessible to children when left
unattended. Children can hurt themselves or others by
playing with or around a dehumidifier. Secure all
rooms and buildings in which a dehumidifier is left
unattended while running.
