When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
How the Dehumidifier Operates Automatic Defrost
Moist, humid air is drown over o cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on
this coil and drains into o bucket (or through
o hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where
it is heated and discharged out the top grille into the
room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
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 coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
Choosing a Location
A dehumidifier operating in o basement will have little
or no effect in drying on adjacent enclosed storage
area, such as o closet, unless there isadequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
