Solutions
• Make sure the dehumidifier's plug is pushed
completely into the outlet.
• Check the house fuse / circuit breaker box and
replace fuse or reset breaker.
• The dehumidifier automatically turns off when
either condition occurs. Change to a lower setting
or empty the water bucket and replace properly.
• The bucket must be in place and securely seated
for the dehumidifier to operate.
• There is a protective time delay (up to 3 min.) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For
this reason, the unit may not start normal
dehumidification for 3 min. after it is powered
back on.
• When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to
maintain the desired dryness.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds ,or
furniture blocking the front or back of the
dehumidifier. See the CHOOSING A LOCATION
section.
• Seethe CLEAN FILTER section.
• For drier air, press the "∨" button to lower the
percent humidity desired in the room, or set the
dehumidifier to CO for maximum dehumidification.
• Check that all doors, windows, and other
openings are securely closed.
• Install the dehumidifier away from the dryer.
The dryer should be vented outside.
• Moisture removal is best at higher room
temperatures. Lower room temperatures will
reduce the moisture removal rate. This model is
designed to operate at temperatures above 41 °
F(5°C).
• The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be
adequate for the room size.
• Close all doors and windows to the outside.
