POSITIONING THE UNIT
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area,
such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation 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 dehumidifer on a smooth, level floor
strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket
of water.
● Allow at least 8 inches 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 41ºF (5ºC). The coils can become
covered with frost at temperatures below 41ºF
(5ºC), which may reduce performance.
● Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater,
and radiator.
● Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
● The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
● Close all doors, windows and other outside
openings to the room.
WHEN USING THE UNIT
●
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit on continuous mode for the first 24 hours. This helps
the refrigerant settle in properly. After the first 24 hours, if you would like the unit to cycle on and off based
around your desired humidity setting, take the unit off of continuous mode and use the (+) and (–) buttons to set
your desired humidity. Putting the unit back on continuous mode will override any humidity setting you have set.
● This unit is designed to operate with a working environment between 41ºF (5ºC) and 95ºF (35ºC).
● 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.
● Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket outlet that is also being used for other electrical appliances.
● Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet.
● Plug the unit into an electrical socket/outlet that is grounded.
● Make sure the water bucket is correctly inserted. If it is not, the unit will not operate properly.
NOTE: Always be careful when moving the machine, especially as water gets higher in the bucket; the higher the
water gets in the bucket, the easier it is for the unit to fall over when being moved. It is best to empty the
bucket before moving the unit.
