READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
To avoid risk of electric shock, do not operate this dehumidifier in an area that is likely to accumulate standing water. If this condition develops, disconnect the power supply before stepping into the water.
Do not store or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other fl ammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Do not insert fingers or other objects into grills or openings in the appliance.
Do not cover or block the intake and exhaust openings.
Do not operate the appliance without the filter installed.
Do not operate the appliance near heat sources.
This appliance is intended for indoor, residential applications only. Do not use this dehumidifier outdoors. Do not use this dehumidifier for commercial or industrial applications.
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect the appliance to extension cords, adapters or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet.
Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

Using Auto On and Auto Off Together
The auto on and auto off timers can be used at the same time by fi rst setting one and then the other.
For example, if the dehumidifier is running, you can set the auto off timer to let it run for a set amount of time before turning off and then set the auto on timer to turn it back on at a later time.
Or, if the dehumidifier is not running, you can set the auto on timer to turn it on at a later time and then set the auto off timer to shut it off after running for a period of time.
Note: The timer will not cycle the dehumidifier on and off indefi nitely. The auto on and auto off timers will function one time and then the dehumidifier will return to regular functioning.
Turning the dehumidifier on or off at any time or changing the timer setting to 0.0 will cancel the timer settings.
There are two ways to remove collected water from the appliance.
Remove the cover from the continuous drain outlet and attach the female threaded end and the garden hose to the back of the appliance. Direct the other end of the garden hose to a bucket or floor drain.
Ensure that the garden hose is not bent and goes straight down from the back of the appliance. The continuous drain is only activated by gravity so any bends or upward motion in the hose will stop the water from draining.
The garden hose should be cut so that it is no more than 1.8 m (6 feet) long. If the drain hose is too long water may not drain completely which can lead to stagnant water and mildew build up inside the hose.
Notes:
The air filter should be cleaned approximately every 2 weeks. The air filter may require more frequent cleaning if there is signifi cant dander or fur in the air.
Approximately every two weeks, the filter indicator light on the control panel will illuminate as a reminder to clean the filter. Follow the steps below to clean the filter and return the appliance to normal functioning.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without the air filter installed.
To avoid possible electric shock, ensure that the appliance is unplugged before performing any cleaning or maintenance.
The outside of the appliance can be wiped clean with a soft cloth or with a lukewarm, damp cloth if necessary.
Do not use gasoline, benzene, thinner or any other chemicals to clean this appliance as these substances can cause damage to the fi nish and deformation of plastic parts.
Never pour water directly onto the appliance as this will cause deterioration of electrical components and wiring insulation.
Ensure that the drain ports on the interior of the appliance and the drain ports on the back of the appliance are free of dirt and calcium build up.
Note: Do not clean the drain ports with anything more rigid than a pipe cleaner as this can damage the appliance.
Note: If the drain ports are clogged or dirty it can cause water to leak from the bottom of the appliance.
Unplug the dehumidifier and ensure the filter is clean. Ensure the bucket is empty and then allow both the bucket and the dehumidifier to dry completely before storing for the off season. It could take a few days for water inside the dehumidifier to completely evaporate. You can speed up this process by wiping the bucket with a dry cloth and ensuring the lower drain of the dehumidifier has been emptied. Store the dehumidifier covered in a dry location.

We recommend setting your dehumidifier between 40-45%.
Is the air that comes out of the dehumidifier supposed to be hot?

Why isn't the dehumidifier collecting any water?

In continuous mode, the fan will run continuously.
In smart dehumidify mode or manual mode the fan will cycle on and off.

No, the dehumidifier is built to operate using the power cord provided.
Does the timer cycle on and off forever?
The on and off timers can be used at the same time however, they will only cycle one time and then resume normal functioning.
How do I hook up my direct drain?
To use the continuous drain you must purchase a garden hose and female threaded end.
The dimensions required are:
Remove the cover from the continuous drain outlet and attach the female threaded end and the garden hose to the back of the appliance. Direct the other end of the garden hose to a bucket or floor drain.
Does the filter light come on when it is dirty?
The filter light comes on automatically after about 250 hours of use even if the filter is clean. Clean the filter and then press the filter button to turn the filter light off.
What is the plastic piece in the bucket?
This rounded piece is called a buckle and is clipped on to the back of the dehumidifier. It is used to wrap the power cord during long term storage of the dehumidifier.
If the display panel shows any of the below error codes, unplug the appliance, let it stand for 5-10 minutes and then plug it back in. If the error persists, call for service.
AS - Humidity sensor error
ES - Temperature sensor error
