Turn Humidistat left toward DRYEST for
normal operation. Set at 5 or 6 to start. Adjust
later, if necessary.
If you need more dehumidification, turn
Humidistat left to a higher number. If you need
less, turn Humidistat right to a lower number.
Stop the unit manually by turning Humidistat
right to UNIT OFF.
Frost control (D-20, D-30, D-40 and D-50)
Do not operate dehumidifier at tempera-
tures below 65°F (18.3%). The coils may
become iced over and unit will not operate
properly.
Your Comfort-Aire@ dehumidifier is equipped with
a feature to help you get the most comfort from
your new appliance by permitting it to operate
down to 65°F (18.3%). If your dehumidifier runs
when room temperature and humidity conditions
are low, frost can form on its evaporator coil. This
interferes with proper operation.
The Frost Control senses frost build-up on the
evaporator coil and automatically shuts off the
compressor. The fan continues to run, drawing
air across the coil and melting the frost. When
the coil is defrosted, the compressor is automati-
cally restarted, and dehumidifying is resumed.
Setting the water level adjustment
The Water Level Adjustment can be set in two
positions to turn off the unit automatically when
the pan is full. This prevents the danger of
overflow.
Pan must be in proper position for Water Level
Control Switch to work.
