Recommended ground method
For your personal safety, this dehumidifier must be grounded.
This dehumidifier is equipped with a power supply cord having a
grounded 3 prong plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the
cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet,
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a
mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to
have a properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrical installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
■ To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■ To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

Location Requirements
■ You will need a level surface strong enough to support the
dehumidifier when its bucket is full of water.
■ Keep all outside doors, windows and other openings closed
when you are operating dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will
increase dehumidifier workload.
■ Install dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not
fall below the minimum operating temperature for your
control type. Lower temperatures will cause your
performance to drop.
