USING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
De-icer control
^CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not operate dehumidifier at tem­
peratures below 65°F (18.3°C).
Failure to follow the above precaution
could result in the coils icing over and
the unit not operating properly.
Your Whirlpool dehumidifier is equipped with
a feature to help you get the most comfort
from your new appliance by permitting it to
operate down to 65°F (18.3°C). If your
dehumidifier runs when room temperature
and humidity conditions are low, frost can
form on its evaporator coil. This interferes
with proper operation.
The De-icer Control senses frost build-up
on the evaporator coil and automatically
shuts off the compressor. The fan continues
to run, drawing air across the coil and
melting the frost. When the coil is defrosted,
the compressor is automatically restarted,
and dehumidifying is resumed.
Adjusting the water level control lever
The Water Level Adjustment can be set in
two positions to turn off the unit automati­
cally when the pan is full. This prevents the
danger of overflow.
Pan must be in proper position for Water
Level Control Switch to work. The Water
Level Control Switch will automatically turn
off the dehumidifier at the fill level you
selected when pan is properly placed.
Loosen the screw to move the Water Level
Control Lever. Retighten screw when
adjusted to desired setting.
