Warranty Registration

CongratulationsonpurchasinganewAirWerxDehumidifier. Yournewdehumidifiercomeswithan

extensivewarrantyplan. Toregister, simplyfilloutandreturnthewarrantyformprovidedinthe

dehumidifierbox.

Besuretonoteyourdehumidifierserialnumberasyouwillneeditforregistration.

SafetyNotes

TheAirWerxSeriesDehumidifiermustalwaysbeconnectedusingagroundedelectricalconnection

(asrequiredforallelectricalappliances).Ifnon-groundedwiringisused,allliabilityrevertstotheowner

andthewarrantyisvoided.

AirWerxDehumidifiersshouldonlybemaintainedandrepairedbyaqualifiedtechnician.

AirWerxDehumidifiersareonlyintendedforoperationwhenorientedwiththeunitsittingonitsfeetand

level.Operatingtheunitinanyotherorientationcouldallowwatertofloodelectricalcomponents.

Alwaysunplugdehumidifierbeforemoving.

Ifthereisachancethatwaterfloodedthedehumidifier,itshouldbeopenedand allowedtodry

thoroughlybeforereconnectingtoelectricalpowerandrestarting.

Toensureproperoperation,neithertheinletnordischargeshouldbepositionedagainstawall.The

inletrequiresaminimumof12"clearanceandthedischargerequiresaminimumof36"clearance.

Thebestoptionforproperdiffusionofairthroughouttheroomistohavethe dischargeblowingaway

fromawallandtheinletpullingairinparalleltoawall.

Donotinsertyourfingersoranyobjectintotheinletordischarge.

Allworkonthedehumidifiershouldbedonewiththeunit "off"andunplugged.

Donotusewatertocleantheexteriorofthemachine.Tocleanunit,unplugfrompower,thenusea

dampclothtowipetheexterior.

Donotstandonthemachineoruseitasadevicetohangclothes.

1. Humidity Display Screen

·The display screen has two functions:

1. When the unit is powered on, it shows the humidity of the space.

2. While setting the desired humidity level, the screen will show the set humidity.

After a brief delay, the display will revert to the current humidity level.
