dehumidifier, these safety precautions must be followed:

unspecified power cord.

• Unplug the unit if it emits strange sounds,
odors, or smoke.
• Do not use an electrical outlet if it is loose

Tips
• Auto is the suggested setting for typical
everyday use
• Make sure the dehumidifier is the correct
size for the area you want to dehumidify.
It is not designed to dehumidify the entire
house.
• For proper operation, the dehumidifier
should only be placed on a level floor.
• Close all doors, windows and other open­
ings to the room. The dehumidifier must
operate in an enclosed area to be effective.
• To clean, use a soft cloth; do not use wax,
thinners, or strong detergents as they may
change the color of the unit or cause
surface damage.
• Be sure to replace the bucket properly
after emptying to prevent water from
collecting on the floor causing damage to
some types of flooring.
• Do not put a pet or house plant where it
will be exposed to direct air flow. This could
injure the pet or plant.
• Operation without filter will cause
unit failure. Insert the filter securely. Clean
it every two weeks. (See maintenance.)
