Location

Selecting a Location

IMPORTANT:

1. Dehumldlfler must be operated In an enclosed area to be most effective. Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The effectiveness of the dehumldlfler depends on the rate at which new moisture-laden air enters the room.

2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit or out of the louvers on the sides of cabinet.

3. A dehumidifier operating In a basement will have little or no effect In drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. It may be necessary to Install a second dehumldlfler In the enclosed area for satisfactory drying.

4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that will support it with a full bucket of water.

5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumidifier.

How It Works

When the unit Is started, the fan begins to pull moistureladen air across the dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.
The unit is designed to operate between 41 °F (5 C), and 96"F (35 C).
If the unit is switched off and needs to be switched on again, wait three minutes before doing so.

Make sure the tank Is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.

NOTE

Unit must be upright for one hour prior to operating.

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 concentration. Pressing the or buttons will change the humidity selection in 5% increments. 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.

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 previously setting. After TIMER setting finishs, pressing TIMER button again at any time will cancel the TIMER function. The Delay Start/Stop Feature will work until the unit either starts ro stops. Once that happens the above steps have to be repeated again.
