User Manual GE APEL70LTL1 70 Pint Dehumidifier

If the bucket is full or missing for more than 3 minutes, an alarm will sound for about 10 seconds to remind you to empty and replace the bucket. This alarm cannot be turned off.

While dehumidifiers are not tested for noise levels (decibel/sone), many of our consumers have commented on the quiet operation. This model does feature High or Low fan speeds. When the humidity has been reduced and quiet operation is preferred, set the fan control to Low.

The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 250 hours of operation or more often if necessary. After 250 hours of operation, the Clean the Filter indicator light will glow to remind you to clean the filter. Remove the filter and clean it. Replace the filter and press the Filter Timer pad to turn off the Clean the Filter light. Remove the bucket. Grasp the filter edge, and pull it straight down and out. Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not rinse or put the filter in an automatic dishwasher.

When the desired humidity level is reached, the compressor will turn off and the fan will automatically continue to run for approximately 3 minutes at a fixed setting. If CO (Continuous) is selected, the dehumidifier will operate continuously at its maximum dehumidification settings if attached to a hose to drain or until the bucket is full.
