-he 48,40 and 30 pint models have a DE-ICER control This feature allows you to
.Jperate the unit in room temperatures below 65 F (18.3 C) Without this DE-ICERcontrol,
ihe unit's evaporator coil would form frost that could prevent proper operation
'he SE-ICER control senses frost build-up on the evaporator coils. When frost build-up is
sensed it automatically shuts off the compressor, but allows the fan to continue running
The fan draws air across the
coil
which melts the frost 'V/hen the
coil
IS defrosted, the
3E-ICER control automatically restarts the compressor ana resumes dehumidifying.
These units will not operate properly in room temperatures below 50 F (10 C].
