Dehumidifier
DE-ICER
control
The 48 Pint Model dehumidifier
has a DE-ICER control built into it. This feature allows
you to operate the unit in room temperatures below 65°F (18.3"C). Without this de-icer
control, the units evaporator coil would form frost that could prevent proper operation.
The DE-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. When the coil is defrosted, the
DE-ICER control automatically
restarts the compressor and resumes dehumidifying.
This unit will not operate properly in room temperatures below 50°F (IOC).
If you need service or assistance, we suggest
you follow these four steps:
1.
Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any
kind.
It unit won't opemte:
/
l
Is the dehumidifier
correctly plugged
into a live
circuit with the proper voltage?
l
Is the humidistat set to a position other than UNIT
OFF? Try a dryer setting.
l
Have you checked
the main fuse or circuit
breaker box?
l
If a 48 pint model, is the temperature
below 50°F
(IOC)? The fan should run, but the unit will not
dehumidify.
If unlt blows
fuses or trips circuit
breakers:
. Are correct time-delay
fuses being used in the
main fuse box?
l
Is an extension cord being used?
Do not use an
extension
cord.
l
Are the coils iced or clogged
with lint?
If unit ices up:
l
Is humidity too low?
l
Is room temperature
below 65°F (18.3"C)? Coil
will become iced over at low temperatures, ex-
cept the 48 pint model which will operate down
to 50°F (IOC].
If water
collects
on the floor:
l
Is unit reasonably
level?
l
Is hose or drain clogged
or kinked?
l
Is the water pan overflowing?
Pan must be prop-
erly positioned.
