1.6 HOW TO OPERATE DEHUMIDIFIER

1.6.1 HOW DOES THE DEHUMIDIFIER WORK?

The dehumidifier, as shown in Figure 1, consists of a
small refrigerant system and a fan. The fan pulls
humid air from the room, across the cold evaporator
coil where the water drips off into a bucket or drain
hose.

1.6.2 LOCATION FOR THE DEHUMIDIFIER

1. In order for the unit to operate effectively, all doors,
windows and other openings should be closed.
Moisture-laden outdoor air will only add to the
dehumidifier's operating load.
2. Allow at least 12 inches of space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
3. Install your dehumidifier on a floor, table, or shelf.
When installing the dehumidifier on a table or shelf,
make sure the table or shelf is strong enough to
support the weight of the dehumidifier with a full
bucket. Do not sit or stand on the dehumidifier.
NOTE: The height of a table or shelf might provide
a better position from which to handle the
bucket and help prevent icing of the coils
due to colder air near the floor (such as in a
basement).
