Kenmore 580.5145 - Manual (Page 7)

INSTALLING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Install the dehumidifier on a level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket
of water.
For best performance, allow at least 12-18
inches of air space on all sides of the unit for
good air circulation.
Keep all outside doors, windows, and other
openings dosed when operating the
dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will add to the
unit's work load.
• install your dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 65°F (18“C). At
temperatures below this, the coils can
become covered with frost.
NOTE : If frost occurs, the unit will cycle on
and off. This is normal. Unplug the unit {or turn
the unit off) until the frost melts and the room
temperature rises.
DEFROST CONTROL
When the defrost control senses frost build-up
on the evaporator coil, it will automatically shut
off the compressor. The fan will continue to run
to draw air across the coil and melt the frost.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor will
automatically restart and dehumidifying
resume.
CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help
prevent moisture damage.
Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry,
bathing, and dishwashing areas that have
excessive moisture.
Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture
damage anywhere books or valuables are
stored.
