IMPORTAi^T:
1- Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective
Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room>
2- Rear of dehumidifier must be placed at least 8" from a wall or other
obstruction so as not to restrict airfiow to the coils or out of the front grili
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 It may be necessary to install a second
dehumidifler in the enclosed area for satisfactory drying

1 AUTOMATIC
. SHUTOFF
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the
dehumidifying coils. The coiis condense or draw moisture from the air, and air
flows through the front grili into the room as dry, warm air Moisture removed
from air is collected In a bucket on the back of the dehumidifier.
To begin operating the dehumidifier, follow these stepsi
1. Plug the power cord into a property grounded 110/120 volt outlet.
Note: Before operating this unit, see the "Removing Collected Water" section
for proper placement of the bucket Models will not operate if the bucket is
not properly positioned on the support posts.
2- When first using the dehumidifier, turn Humidistat Control clockwise
to the MAX. DRY position. The unit wili run continuously at this setting
Note: The dehumidifier should be kept in operation as long as excess moisture
is present in the room air
3 Turn the Fan Control to NORMAL. The NORMAL setting is recommended for
faster moisture removal.
4, Allow the dehumidifier to operate at the above settings for three to four days
After this time, adjust the controls as needed See below
Humidistat Control
The Humidistat Control automaticaily starts dehumidifier when humidity is
excessive. When humidity has been reduced to the comfort level set on the
control, the unit turns off
When first using dehumidifier, turn Humidistat Control ciockwise to MAX,. DRY,
and the Fan Control to NORMAL. Unit will run continuously at this setting
Operate dehumidifier at the MAX, DRY setting for three to four days. During this
time, observe the dampness conditions in the area being dried. When the
dampness and dampness odors are gone, adjust Humidistat Control to the
position between OFF and MAX, DRY that provides a "dryness" condition suitable
to your comfort needs
Fan Control (some models)
The Fan Control adjusts fan speed Turn Fan Control to NORMAL for maximum
moisture removal When humidity has been reduced to the desired levei and
quiet operation is preferred, set Fan Control to QUIET,
Wloisture Removal
At first, the dehumidifier will remove large amounts of moisture It will continue
to do so until the relative humidity is reduced to a point where moisture damage
will not occur- Then, the amount of moisture removed from the air will be a lot
less. This indicates the dehumidifier is operating effectively and Is maintaining the
relative humidity at the desired level Judge the performance of the dehumidifier
by the elimination of dampness and dampness odors, not by the amount of water
being deposited in the bucket When bucket has filled with water, unit will turn
off This model features an Automatic Shut-Off light that will glow until bucket is
emptied and returned to the proper position
