Important Precautions

• The device is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from rain and flooding.

• Install the unit with enough space to access all sides for maintenance and service. The entire shell needs to be

removed in order to do repairs.

• Avoid directing the discharge air at people. The dehumidifier should be used in the upright position.

• If used near a water source; be certain there is no chance the unit could fall into the water or get splashed and

that it is plugged into a dedicated circuit and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.

• DO NOT use the dehumidifier as a bench or table.

• DO NOT place the dehumidifier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted

noise may result. Place the EDHUM070H on supports to raise the base of the unit.

• A drain pan with a float switch MUST be placed under the dehumidifier if installed above a living area or above

an area where water leakage could cause damage.

Location Considerations

• Allow sufficient clearance to handle the unit's overall dimensions as well as the necessary return and supply

ductwork to the unit.

• Allow sufficient clearance for filter removal and to prevent airflow obstruction.

• Electrical service access will require the removal of the outside shell. Allow sufficient clearance around the unit.

• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the cord's lenght (9') easily reaches a 115 VAC electrical outlet with a

minimum of a 15 Amp circuit capacity.

• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where field wiring the control (low voltage) to the unit will be possible.

• It is recommended that a

backdraft damper be used in

the discharge duct of the

EDHUM070H, especially when

connecting to the supply

ducting system. The backdraft

damper prevents supply air

from counter flowing through

the EDHUM070H when it is not

operating. The dehumidifier's

location should be chosen to

allow installation of this

accessory if necessary.

• The EDHUM070H may be

suspended with the hang kit

or a suitable alternative from

structural members,

ensuring the assembly

supports the dehumidifier's

base in its entirety. DO NOT

hang the EDHUM070H from

its' cabinet.

• Allow for proper drainage and

routing of needed drain pipes.
