Quest CDG 174 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions Safety Precautions Read the installation, operation and maintenance instructions carefully before installing and operating this device. Proper adherence to these instructions is essential to obtain maximum benefit from your Quest CDG 174.
2.1 Transporting The Quest CDG 174 must always be upright when transported by vehicle. It may be tipped on to its handle and back for loading and moving by hand.
2.3 Electrical Requirements The Quest CDG 174 can be plugged into a grounded 15 Amp circuit. At 80°F, 60% RH, it draws 10 Amps. Due to the high percentage of a 15 Amp circuit’s capacity that the unit uses, the circuit should be dedicated to running it only. Amp draw decreases at lower loads and increases at higher loads.
3.1 Air Filter The Quest CDG 174 is equipped with a pleated fabric air filter that must be checked regularly. The standard filter is a MERV-11 high efficiency filter. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce the dehumidifier’s capacity and efficiency and may cause the compressor to cycle off and on unnecessarily on the defrost control.
3.2 Storage There are two issues to consider when the Quest CDG 174 is stored between uses and both pertain to the water trapped in the unit: damage caused by freezing and biological growth. The effect of the trapped water can be greatly reduced if precautions are taken to remove as much as possible before storage.
Quest CDG 174 Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions The evaporator operates in a flooded condition, which means that all the evaporator tubes contain liquid refrigerant during normal operation. A flooded evaporator should maintain constant pressure and temperature across the entire coil, from inlet to outlet.
