Installation & Operation Instructions 800.558.1711

Important Precautions

• The device is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from rain and ooding.

• Install the unit with enough space to access one of the side panels for maintenance and service.

• Avoid directing the discharge air at people. The dehumidier should be used in the upright position.

• If used near a water source, be certain there is no chance the unit could fall into the water or get splashed and

that it is plugged into a dedicated circuit and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.

• DO NOT use the dehumidier as a bench or table.

• DO NOT place the dehumidier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or

unwanted noise may result. Place the Dehumidier on supports to raise the base of the unit.

• A drain pan with a oat switch MUST be placed under the dehumidier if installed above a living area or above

an area where water leakage could cause damage.

Location Considerations

• Allow sucient clearance to handle the unit’s overall

dimensions as well as the necessary return and

supply ductwork to the unit.

• Allow sucient clearance for lter removal and to

prevent airow obstruction.

• Electrical service access will require the removal of

a side panel. Allow sucient clearance on a side of

the unit.

• Locate the dehumidier in an area where the cord’s

length (9') easily reaches a 115 VAC electrical outlet

with a minimum of a 15 Amp circuit capacity.

• Locate the dehumidier in an area where eld wiring

the control (low voltage) to the unit will be possible.

• It is recommended that a backdraft damper be

used in the discharge duct of the

Dehumidier, especially when connecting to the supply ducting system. The backdraft damper prevents supply

air from counter owing through the Dehumidier when it is not operating. The dehumidier’s

location should be chosen to allow installation of this accessory if necessary.

• The Dehumidier may be suspended from structural members with steel hanger straps or a suitable

alternative, ensuring the assembly supports the dehumidier’s base in its entirety. DO NOT hang the

Dehumidier from its cabinet.

• Allow for proper routing and drainage of needed drain pipes.

Removal of Compressor Shipping Support

The Dehumidier uses a compressor to power the refrigeration

system. To protect the compressor and refrigeration system during

shipping, a plastic tie wrap secures it to the unit’s frame. Remove the

tie wrap by cutting the tie wrap and pulling from the unit as shown.

After removing tie wrap, insert plastic plugs provided into the holes.

CAUTION!CAUTION!

REMOVE COMPRESSOR SHIPPING TIE FROM THE UNIT. FAILURE TO REMOVE SHIPPING TIE

WILL CAUSE EXCESS VIBRATION TO BE TRANSMITTED TO THE FRAME.
