INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Requirements
Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below.
Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply
cord.
Recommended grounding method
This dehumidifier must be grounded. This dehumidifier is
equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical
installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
■
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
■
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -

Location Requirements
■
You will need a level surface strong enough to support the
dehumidifier when its bucket is full of water.
■
Keep all outside doors, windows and other openings closed
when you are operating dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will
increase dehumidifier workload.

fall below 65ºF (18ºC) for Control Type 1, 55ºF (13ºC) for
Control Type 2 and 38ºF (3ºC) for Control Type 3. Lower
temperatures will cause your performance to drop.
