Using the Dehumidifier

Choosing a Location

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.

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.
