When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
How the Behumidifier Operates Automatic Defrost
Hoist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Hoisture in the air condenses on
this coil and drains into a bucket (or through
a hose and drain).
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 surroundingair to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifieroperates.
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the
compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to
run until the frost disappears.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
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 isadequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
