INSTALLING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. This appliance has a
power supply cord with a 3-prong grounded
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard,
the cord must be plugged into a matching
grounded electrical outlet that complies with
the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code and all local codes and ordinances.
If a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet is not
available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have one
installed by a qualified electrician.

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove ground prong.
• Do not use a two-prong adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, fire or electrical shock.
• At temperatures below 65°F, the evapor-
ator coils may become covered with frost,
reducing the dehumidifier's performance.
• Leave the dehumidifier in an upright
position for 30 minutes before turning on.
DEFROST OPERATION
The dehumidifier has a built-in defrost
control that senses frost buildup on the
evaporator coils.
During defrosting, the compressor will
automatically turn off; the fan will continue
running to defrost the coils.
