4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of
water.
5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit
3. 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. lt may be necessary to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for
satisfactory drying.
1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors,
windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the dehumidifier
depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.

IMPORTANT:
How It Works
The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the top louvers into the
room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the
dehumidifier.
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the dehumidifying coils.
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.
The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 °C), and 90 °F (32 °C). The unit will not work
properly if the temperature is out of this temperature range, or the performance of the unit will
fall greatly.
Location
Installation There are two accessory boxes inside the package(side panel).
The kraft box includes four castors of the dehumidifier. The instruction sheet of installing
castors is put inside the package(kraft box). Refer to the instructions for proper installation.
The white box includes a drainage joint for continuous drainage. Refer to the “Continuous
Drainage” in this manual for the proper installation of the drainage joint. If continuous
drainage is not applied, please keep the drainage joint in case of future use.
