Operating Instructions

1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 115 volt AC outlet.

2. To turn the unit on, press the ON/OFF button. The unit will run in the factory setting of CONTINUOUS and high fan speed. In the CONTINUOUS mode, the unit will only display CO and not the room humidity. It is recommended you leave the unit running in the CONTINUOUS setting for the first three or four days until the sweating and dampness odors have stopped.

3. After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, press the HUMIDITY ∧ or ∨ buttons to choose a value between 35% to 85%, so the room is kept at a comfortable humidity. Pressing the ∧ or ∨ buttons will change the humidity selection in 5% increments. After you have set the desired humidity, the readout will display the actual room humidity. If at any time you want to return to the CONTINUOUS Mode, pressing the HUMIDITY ∨ button will lower the Relative Humidity through the 5% increments until the display reads CO.

4. You can also use the FAN SPEED button to change the fan speed to HIGH or LOW. The indicator light will show the setting you have selected. A higher fan speed will result in quicker moisture removal.

5. The CLEAN FILTER light will illuminate after 250 hours of operation. At this time refer to the care and cleaning section to remove and clean the filter. Once the filter has been cleaned and replaced, simply press the FILTER button to extinguish the light.

6. The TIMER function enables you to either Delay Start or Delay Stop the unit in the choice from 0.5 hour to 24 hours. If the unit is running, then selecting Timer will turn the unit off in the hours that will be set (Delay Stop). If the unit is off, then selecting Timer will turn the unit on in the hours that will be set (Delay Start).

TIMER setting: First press TIMER button, then adjust timer setting, by tapping or holding the ∧ or ∨ button to change the delay timer at 0.5 hour increments, up to 10 hours, then by 1 hour increments up to 24 hours. The control will count down the time remaining (8,7.5,7, etc.) until the unit either starts or stops. For the Delay Start, the fan speed and humidity maintained will be the same as previous setting. After TIMER setting finishes, pressing TIMER button again at any time will stop the TIMER function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the unit either starts or stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated.

7. To shut the unit down, press the ON/OFF button.

Note: After a power outage, the unit will memorize the last setting and return the unit to the same setting once power is restored.

Fault Codes

1. If the display reads "AS" or "ES" , a sensor has failed. Contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center.

2.If the display reads "EC" , check the following operating conditions. Outlet voltage should be 115V±10% and the surrounding temperature should be with in the range of 41 °F to 96 °F. Unplug the unit and plug it in again under normal operating conditions. If the "EC" code persists, contact your Authorized Frigidaire Service Center

c. Insert the female threaded end of the hose onto the drain connector of the unit. (fig.2)

d. Screw the garden hose onto the threaded portion of the drain connector. (fig.3)
