Selecting a Location
IMPORTANT:
1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an
enclosed area to be most e ective. Close
all doors, windows, and other outside
openings to the room. The e ectiveness of
the dehumidifier depends on the rate at
which new moisture-laden air enters the
room.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does
not restrict the airflow of the air intake and
air outlet.
3. A dehumidifier operating in a basement
will have little or no e ect in drying an
adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a
closet, unless there is adequate circulation
of air in and out of the area. lt may be
necessary to install a second dehumidifier
in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying.
4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a
level floor that will support it with a full
bucket of water.
5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches
clearance around the dehumidifier. The
unit will produce heat while in operation
and should not be operated in an enclosed
small space like a closet.

LOCATION & HOW IT WORKS
How It Works
When the unit is started, the fan begins to
pull
dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or
draw moisture from the air, and air flows
through the air outlet louvers into the room
as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is
collected in a bucket on the front of the
dehumidifier.
The unit is designed to operate between 41°F
(5°C),
30%(RH) and 80%(RH). The unit will not
work properly if the temperature is out of this
temperature range, or the performance of
the unit will fall greatly.
The "Compressor" circuit has an automatic 3
minute time delayed start if the unit is turned
o and on quickly. This prevents overheating
of the compressor and possible circuit
breaker tripping. Make sure the tank is fitted
correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.
