INSTALLING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

DEHUMIDIFIER LOCATION

• Electrical service access and drain cleaning will
require the removal of the electrical service side
panel (see Figure 12) . Allow sufficient space for
service on this side of the unit .
• The filter can be removed from either side of the
dehumidifier . Allow sufficient space for the filter to
be removed and reinstalled .
• If locating the unit where it is not readily accessible
(such as a crawl space, an attic or even a
basement for some individuals), consider controls
such as the Model 76 Dehumidifier Control, which
can be mounted in the living space and wired to
the dehumidifier .
• For attic installations, suspending the dehumidifier is
recommended .
• Always install the dehumidifier in or above a
condensate pan when locating in or above a
finished space .

LEVELING AND RAISING THE
DEHUMIDIFIER
The feet can be adjusted to level the unit and
accommodate drain fittings and condensate pans
as required . Use the top-mounted bubble level to
adjust the feet until the bubble is within the outer circle
(see Figure 13) . Leveling is required to ensure proper
drainage from the dehumidifier .
If installing a condensate pump to the side of the
unit more elevation than can be provided by the
adjustable feet may be needed . Risers or hanging kits
are available to lift the dehumidifier higher off the floor .

INSTALLING A CONDENSATE PAN UNDER
THE DEHUMIDIFIER
Always install the dehumidifier in or above a
condensate pan when locating it above a finished
space . Adhere to local codes regarding draining of
the condensate pan . If a condensate pump is needed,
make sure it is in the condensate pan as well . Install
a float switch in the condensate pan and/or use the
overflow wires/terminals on the condensate pump
to stop the dehumidifier should overflow occur . See
Wiring to a Float Switch on page 12.
