that you do not attempt to service the
dehumidifier yourself.

combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.

product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old product with refrigerants, check with the
company handling disposal about what to
do.
Ŷ Do not use outdoors.
Ŷ This dehumidifier is intended for
indoor residential applications only.
This dehumidifier should not be used

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The dehumidifier should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet, which has a voltage rating matching
the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
