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 aii sides of the unit for good air circulation.
> Keep all outside doors, windows, and other openings
closed 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, which may reduce dehumidifying
performance.
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. i
