RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. This appliance has a
power supply cord with a 3-prong grounded
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard,
the cord must be plugged into a matching
grounded electrical outlet that complies with
the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code and all local codes and ordinances.
If a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet is not
available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have one
installed by a qualified electrician.
CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION
Use the dehumidifier:
• in the basement to help prevent moisture
damage.
• in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom,
and spa/exercise areas that have exces­
sive moisture.
• to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
• during construction or remodeling to
reduce drying time for drywall and paint.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
• When the bucket is full, or when the buck­
et is not in the proper position, the Bucket
Full light goes on and the unit automati­
cally shuts off.
• The bucket must be replaced in the
proper position for the dehumidifier to
work. The light will stay on and the dehu­
midifier will not run if the bucket is not in
the proper position.
• The dehumidifier will shut off once the
desired humidity setting is reached plus or
minus 5% Relative Humidity (RH).

KEY FEATURES OF YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
INSTALLING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
• Install the dehumidifier on a level floor
strong enough to support the unit with a
full bucket of water.
• For best performance, allow at least 12­
18 inches of air space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
• Keep all outside doors, windows and
other openings closed when operating the
dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will add to
the unit’s workload.
• Leave the dehumidifier in an upright
position for 30 minutes before turning on.
DEFROST OPERATION
The dehumidifier has a built-in defrost
control that senses frost buildup on the
evaporator coils.
During defrosting, the compressor will
automatically turn off; the fan will continue
running to defrost the coils.
