Electrical Information
•
For your safety and protection, this dehumidifier
is equipped with a three-prong
grounding
plug on the power cord. Do not, under any circumstances,
cut or remove the round ground
prong from the plug.
,
Your dehumidifier
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized
three-prong
receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use will not accept a
three-prong
plug, or if you are not sure the outlet is adequately grounded or protected
by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper outlet
according to the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. Do not

Location
How
It Works
Selecting a Location
IMPORTANT:
1.Dehumidifier must be operatedinan enclosedarea to be most effective. Closeall doors,
windows, and otheroutsideopeningsto the room. The effectiveness ofthe dehumidifier
depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden
air enters the room.
2. Place dehumidifier
in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit or
out of the louvers on the left side of cabinet.
3. 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. It 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 30.5cm clearance around the dehumidifier.
When the unit
is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden
air across the dehumidifying
coils.
The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side 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 5 °C (41 °F), and 35 °C (96 °F).
The "Compressor"
circuit has an automatic
3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off
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.
