How the Dehumidifier Operates
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on
this coil and drains into a bucket (or through a hose and
drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where it is
heated and discharged out the top grille into the room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
Automatic Defrost
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the
compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run
until the frost disappears.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
Choosing a Location
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.
•
Do not use outdoors.
•
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used
for commercial or industrial applications.
•
Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
•
Allow at least 18 inches of air space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
•
Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C) or above
90°F (32°C). The coils can become covered with
frost at temperatures below 41°F, which may reduce
performance.
•
The suggested range of relative humidity is between
40% and 50%
•
Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry and
dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from the clothes
dryer.
•
Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
•
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
•
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
•
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the room.
NOTE: The dehumidifier has casters to aid placement,
but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do
not attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over
objects.
