Caster Installation; How The Dehumidifier Operates; Choosing A Location - GE ADHL22 Owner's Manual

Caster Installation

NOTE: This is for 22, 25 and 35 pint models only. Before
plugging in the dehumidifier, remove the casters from the bucket
and install as shown below.
Installing the Casters
1. Remove the 4 casters from the bag taped to the inside of the
water bucket lid.
2. Carefully lay the dehumidifier down on it's front or back.
3. Following the arrows on the base, slide the 4 casters into place.
4. Place the unit upright and wait 1 hour before use.
Using the Dehumidifier
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.

How the Dehumidifier Operates

Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on this
coil and drains into a bucket (or through a hose and drain).

Choosing a Location

A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no
effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as
a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and
out of the area.
• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used for
commercial or industrial applications.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 18 inches of air space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature
will not fall below 41°F (5°C) or above 90°F (32°C). The
coils can become covered with frost at temperatures
below 41°F, which may reduce performance.
• The suggested range of relative humidity is between 40%
and 50%
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry and dishwashing
areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from the clothes
dryer.
• Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.

Dehumidifier is on it's front
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where it is
heated and discharged out the top grille into the room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to
be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to
the room.
