Operating The Unit
Positioning the unit
A dehumidifier operating in one room will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed area, such as a closet, or other
room unless there is adequate ciculation of air in and out of the area.
Do not use outdoors.
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor, strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Allow at least 8in (20cm) of air space on all sides of
the unit for good air circulation.
Place the unit in an area where the temperature
will not fall below 41 F (5 C). The coils can become
covered with frost at temperatures below 41 F (5 C),
which may reduce performance.
Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or
radiator.
Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the space that you wish to dehumidify.

ronment between 41 F/5 C and 95 F/35 C.
If the unit has been switched off and needs to be
switched on again quickly, allow approximately three
minutes for the correct operation to resume.

access to an electrical outlet.
Plug the unit into an electrical outlet with a grounding
