Operating The Unit
Positioning the unit
A dehumidifier operating in one room will have little or no effect in drying an adjacent enclosed area, such as a closet, or other
room unless there is adequate ciculation of air in and out of the area.
Do not use outdoors.
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be
used for commercial or industrial applications.
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor, strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
Allow at least 8in (20cm) of air space on all sides of
the unit for good air circulation.
Place the unit in an area where the temperature
will not fall below 41 F (5 C). The coils can become
covered with frost at temperatures below 41 F (5 C),
which may reduce performance.
Place the unit away from the clothes dryer, heater or
radiator.
Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the space that you wish to dehumidify.

When using the unit
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit
continuously for 24 hours.
NOTE: After the first 24 hours, should you wish to set
a desired humidity, you will need to take the unit off of
“Continuous”. You will not be able to select a desired
humidity while the unit is set on “Continuous” mode.
This unit is designed to operate with a working envi-
ronment between 41 F/5 C and 95 F/35 C.
If the unit has been switched off and needs to be
switched on again quickly, allow approximately three
minutes for the correct operation to resume.
Do not connect the dehumidifier to a multiple socket
outlet, that is being used for other electrical
appliances.
Select a suitable location, making sure you have easy
access to an electrical outlet.
Plug the unit into an electrical outlet with a grounding
connection.
Make sure the water bucket is correctly fitted or the
unit will not operate properly.
NOTE: Do not attempt to move the dehumidifier when
there is water in the bucket. The unit may tip over and
spill water or damage unit.
Casters (At four points on the bottom of unit)
Casters can move freely.
Never force casters to move over carpet, or move
the unit with water in the bucket.
(The unit may tip over and spill water.)
