Electrical Information

The appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounded plug
on the power cord for your protection. Never modify,
remove or attempt to repair the plug yourself.

Do not pull the unit by the power cord or pull on the cord to
unplug the unit. Grip the plug and pull it away from the wall
receptacle.

Ensure the power cord is not tangled, knotted or otherwise
distorted before operating the unit.

The dehumidifier must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded wall outlet receptacle. If the wall receptacle you
intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet that is appropriate to local
electrical codes and requirements.

Do not use extension cords, power strips or an adapter plug
with this unit

Always unplug the unit before opening, installing or servicing.
How it Works
When the dehumidifier is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying
coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the
room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a water bucket on the front of the
dehumidifier.
The unit is designed to operate between 41°F (5°C), and 96°F (35°C). The "Compressor" circuit has
an automatic 3 minute time delayed start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker tripping. Make sure the tank is fitted
correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.
