Dehumidifier DE-ICER control
^he 48,40 and 30 pint models have a DE-ICER control this feature allows you to
operate the unit in room temperatures below 65 F (18,3 C) Without this DE-ICER control,
the unifs evaporator coll would form frost that could prevent proper operation.
'he DE-ICER control senses frost build-up on the evaporator coils. When frost build-up is
sensed it automatically shuts off the compressor, but allows the fan to continue running.
The fan draws air across the coil which melts the frost. When the coil is defrosted, the
DE-ICER control automatically restarts the compressor ana resumes dehumidifying.
these units will not operate properly in room temperatures below 50 F (10 C],
If you need serviee or assistanee, we suggest
is the dehumidifier correctly plugged into a live
circuit with the proper voltage?
Is the Humidistat Control set to a position other
than UNIT OFF? Try a dryer setting. •
• Have you checked the main fuse or circuit
breaker box?
• If a 48, 40 or 30 pint model, is the temperature
below 50 F (10 C)? The fan should run, but the unit
will not dehumidify.
If unit blows fuses or trips circuit breakers:
• Are correct time-delay fuses being used in the
main fuse box?
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any
kind.
If unit won’t operate:
• is an extension cord being used? Do not use an
extension cord.
• Are the coils iced or clogged with lint?
If unit ices up:
• Is humidity too iow?
• Is room temperature below 65 F(18.3 C)'?’Coil will
become iced over at low temperatures, except
the 48,40 and 30 pint models which will operate
down to 50 F (10 C).
If water collects on the floor:
• Is unit reasonably level?
• Is hose or drain clogged or kinked?
• Is the water pan overflowing? Pan must be prop­
erly positioned.
Special dehumidifier needs:
• Annual inspection: Clean coils, inspect drain
and hoses; if necessary, oil the fan motor.

right position.
