CHOOSING THE PROPER LOCATION
* Place 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
* Use the dehumidifier:
- in the basement to help prevent moisture
damage.
- in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom,
and spa/exercise areas that have excessive
moisture
- to prevent moisture damage anywhere
books or valuables are stored
- during construction or remodeling to
reduce drying time for drywall and paint
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 until a majority of
the frost has melted.
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF
- When the bucket is full, or when the bucket is not
in the proper position, the bucket full light will
turn on and the unit automatically shuts off
- The bucket must be placed in the proper position
for the dehumidifier to work. The light will stay
on and the dehumidifier will not run if the bucket
is not in the proper position.
- The dehumidifier will shut off once the desired
humidity setting has been reached.
