Automatic Humidity Control
The humidistat control automatically turns your dehumidifier on or
off to maintain the humidity level you select. Allow dehumidifier
to reach room temperature, then turn control knob to number 5
(normal average setting). The fan and compressor will run together,
dehumidifying the room. If unit does not turn on at this setting, this
generally means that the relative humidity is already low and
dehumidification may not be needed at this time.
After operating several days at this setting with doors and windows
closed, you may readjust this control to a slightly higher number
for lower humidity (drier air) or to a slightly lower number for
higher humidity (moist air).
If knob is turned to “Continuous Run” then the compressor will run
regardless of actual room humidity. If not properly monitored, this
setting could cause excess energy usage.
Overflow Indicator
An automatic overflow switch and indicator light are provided to
turn the dehumidifier off before the container overflows. When the
indicator light on the control panel glows, the water container
must be emptied.
Filter
Filter Cleaning
1. Turn the power off.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner attachment or brush to clean the front grille.
3. Remove the filter.
4. To clean the filter, wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and shake dry.
Cleaning is recommended monthly, or as conditions require.
Proper use and care of your dehumidifier will help ensure longer life of
the unit. It is recommended to annually inspect and clean the coils
and condensate water passages. Expense of annual inspection is the
consumers’ responsibility.

attached to the container
