Using the Dehumidifier
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 attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or
over objects.
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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
