INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Requirements
Specific electrical requirements are listed in the chart below. Follow the requirements for the type of plug on the power supply cord.
Recommended Grounding Method
This dehumidifier must be grounded. This dehumidifier is equipped with a power supply cord with a three-prong grounding plug. The cord must be plugged into a mating, grounded three-prong outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a properly grounded three-prong outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
It is the customer's responsibility:
- To contact a qualified electrical installer.
- To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to the Nation Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-last edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
Location Requirements
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when using this appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
NOTE: Your model may differ from the one shown.
- Do not locate outdoors. This dehumidifier is intended for indoor, residential use only. This dehumidifier is not recommended for commercial use.
- Allow at least 12" to 18" (30.5 cm to 45.7 cm) of space on the rear and sides of the dehumidifier for models with back louver and above the dehumidifier for models with top louvers.
- You will need a surface strong enough to support the dehumidifier when its bucket is full of water.
- You will need a surface level enough to keep the water from spilling when the bucket is full of water.
- Do not block the louvers of the unit .
- Never operate this dehumidifier in an area that is likely to accumulate standing water. If this condition develops, for your safety disconnect the power supply before stepping into the water.
DEHUMIDIFIER USE
Setting the Controls
Control Panel
NOTE:
- The control panel of your model may differ from the one shown above.
Starting/ Stopping the Dehumidifier
The dehumidifier should be upright for at least 2 hours before use.
NOTE:
- Before turning on the dehumidifier, be sure that the bucket is empty and fits all the way into the dehumidifier.
- Each time you unplug the dehumidifier or power is interrupted, the controls will return to the previous settings when power is restored.
- Humidity displayed is between 30% Relative
- Humidity and 90% Relative Humidity.
- Humidity can be set between 30% Relative
- Humidity and 80% Relative Humidity.
- It's important to set the desired humidity level to an achievable setting. To ensure energy- efficient operation, only use the dehumidifier in a closed space, with no open windows or other sources of moist air (to avoid continuous running).
- Operating temperature is between 38oF to 90oF (3.2oC to 32.2oC).
- At temperatures of 38oF(3.2oC) or less, water freezes inside the product. At temperatures over 90oF(32.2oC), the internal temperature of the product trips a protective device which deactivates the product to avoid product damage.
- The compressor has a 3-minute delay before restarting. If the product is stopped and immediately restarted, to protect the compressor there is a 3-minute delay until the compressor restarts.
- When the dehumidifier is operating, the indoor temperature will rise. The humidifier does not have a cooling/ heating function. Heat is generated during operation, so the room temperature may be increased by about depending on the usage conditions (indoor temperature size of the room)
NOTE:
In the case of a power outage or interruption, the dehumidifier will automatically restart, in the settings last used, after the power is restored.
Empty Bucket Light
If this light is on, the fan and the compressor will stop running. This light indicates that you need to check:
- If the bucket is full, empty and re-install bucket.
- If the bucket is not in position, remove the bucket and re-install it. Make sure the bucket fits all the way into the dehumidifier and the bucket light is off, or dihumidifier will not run.
Fan Speed
1. Single Fan speed
NOTE:
Once the relative humidity of the room hit the desired setting, the compressor will stop and the fan will be off periodically. The fan may periodically turn on, to read the humidity level, without the compressor running.
Desired Humidity-Mode
1. Humidity can be adjusted manually .
- If the humidity level of the room is higher than the desired humidity setting, the compressor will turn on. If the humidity level of the room is lower than the desired humidity setting, the compressor will turn off, as well as the fan.
NOTE:
The de-icing function will turn off the compressor if a low temperature condition occurs. When the de-icer senses the correct operating temperature, the compressor will cycle back on. Some freezing is normal when dehumidifiers are used at low temperatures.
Power
Press POWER to turn on or turn off the dehumidifier.
Humidity Level
Digital Display
Clean Filter
NOTE:
When the light is on, it will remain on for 180 hours or until you press POWER button for 5 seconds.
Draining the Dehumidifier
Option 1 Bucket Draining
If a floor drain is not available, or you do not plan to run your dehumidifier continuously, you may want to simply empty the bucket.
1. Grasp the bucket sides to slide out bucket.
2. Lift the bucket up by the handle.
3. Pour water into a sink or tub.
4. Fold down the handle and reinstall the bucket.
IMPORTANT:
If the Empty Bucket light comes on, the dehumidifier will not operate. The bucket may need to be emptied or re-installed.
NOTE:
- If the water bucket is removed immediately after turning off the dehumidifier, the water remaining in the heat exchanger may drip inside the water bucket storage area.
- Remove the water with a soft cloth.
- While cleaning, do not touch the water level float.
- Clean the water bucket once a week during use.
- If the ambient temperature is low, there is less moisture in the air for the product to remove.
- Unplug the product before removing the water bucket. If the bucket is removed while the product is operating, the compressor will stop.
- Option 2 Gravity Draining
If you plan to run your dehumidifier continuously, you can choose direct draining by attaching a garden hose to the unit.
NOTE:
- The garden hose sold separately.
- The connection is designed for North American garden hoses only.
NOTE:
- To use the bucket without the garden hose, simply remove the garden hose, then reinstall bucket.
- The bucket must be installed and properly aligned for the dehumidifier to operate with or without a garden hose connected.
Normal Sounds
When your dehumidifier is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:
- Compressor sounds, which may be loud.
- Air movement from the fan.
- Clicking sounds when the dehumidifier or compressor turns on and off, and when the Automatic shut-off Switch is working.
DEHUMIDIFIER CARE
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint, and other particles from the air and is important for best operating efficiency. Check the filter every two weeks to see whether it needs cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not wash air filter in the dishwasher or use any chemical cleaner. Air dry filter completely before reinstalling to ensure maximum operating efficiency.
Cleaning the Dehumidifier
Exterior
Water Bucket
Every few weeks, rinse the inside of the water bucket with a mild detergent to avoid growth of mold, mildew and bacteria.
Water level float
The dehumidifier's water bucket has a water level float. Do not damage or remove the bucket’s water level float. If the float is not properly in place, the Empty Bucket light will turn on, preventing operation, and could result in leaking.
NOTE: be sure the float is snapped correctly in place
