De-icer control
Your Whirlpool dehumidifier is equipped with
a feature to help you get the most comfort
from your new appliance by permitting it to
operate down to 65°F (18.3°C).
The De-icer Control senses frost buildup
on the evaporator coil and automatically
shuts off the compressor. The fan continues
to run, drawing air across the coil, and
melting the frost. When the coil Is defrosted,
the compressor automatically restarts, and
dehumidifying resumes.
NOTE: Do not operate the dehumidifier at
temperatures below 65°F (18.3°C). If your
dehumidifier runs when room temperature
and humidity conditions are low, frost can
form on its evaporator coil. This interferes
with proper operation.
Adjusting the water level control lever
The Water Level Adjustment can be set in
two positions to turn off the dehumidifier
automatically when the pan is full. This
prevents the danger of overflow.
The pan must be in the proper position for
the Water Level Control Switch to work. The
Water Level Control Switch will automati­
cally turn off the dehumidifier at the fill level
you have selected when the pan is properly
placed. Loosen the screw to move the Water
Level Control Lever. Retighten the screw
when it is adjusted to the desired setting.
NORMAL fill position
Set the Water Level Control Lever to the
indentation on the left side. The water pan
and water will weigh approximately 16 lbs
(7.2 kg) and the water pan will be
'/2 full.
MAXIMUM fill position
Set the Water Level Control Lever to the
raised area on the right side. The water pan
and water will weigh approximately 24 lbs
(10.8 kg) and the water pan will be full.
