INSTALLING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

DEHUMIDIFIER LOCATION

• Electrical service access and drain cleaning will require the
removal of the electrical service side panel (see FIGURE 11) .
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 to reduce noise transference .
• Always install the dehumidifier in or above a condensate pan
when locating in or above a finished space.

LEVELING AND RAISING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

NOTE: This does not apply to the E130C .
The feet can be adjusted to level the unit and accommodate
drain fittings and condensate pans as required. 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 (Part #5879) or hanging kits (Part #5822) 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 13 .
