Important Grounding Requirements
Your Dehumidifier will operate on any 115 volt, 3-pronged
(grounded), 60 Hz circuit. A separate line is not required, but it
is advisable not to overload the circuit with heavy duty
appliances such as washing machines, etc. For your safety, this
dehumidifier is equipped with a 3-pronged, grounding plug and
must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet (Figs. 1 & 2). If
your outlet is not of the proper type, it is your responsibility to
have the outlet and wiring changed to the correct type. DO NOT
cut off the third (grounding) prong.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
