LOCATION
Dehumidifiers are designed for use in high humidity loca-
tions. Keep doors and windows closed for effective use and
position the unit at least 10 inches (25 cm) from walls and
other obstructions.
HUMIDISTAT
The Humidistat turns the unit
on or off automatically. Operate
initially on constant run until the
desired humidity level is
achieved, then turn the control
counterclockwise until the unit
cycles off. The Humidistat will
now automatically maintain the
selected level of humidity.
Constant Run
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
The dehumidifier has the automatic shut-off
feature. The indicator light will signal when
the water container needs to be emptied.
Constant Run
IMPORTANT:
The water container must be fully inserted
into the unit and the float must be hanging freely inside
the water container for the automatic shut-off to func-
tion properly.
Empty the water bucket before moving the dehumidifier. It is
recommended to wait a minimum of 3 minutes before turning
the unit on after the compressor stops running. This time allows
internal systems to equalize and ensures a full torque start on
the compressor.
AUTOMATIC EMPTYING
Water can be automatically emptied into a floor drain by attach-
ing a water hose to the threaded connector in the white plastic
drip tray. The drip tray is mounted horizontally above the bucket.
Once the bucket is removed, a hose can be easily attached.
The dehumidifier can also be placed over a floor drain. By remov-
ing the water container, the condensate will drop directly through
the hole in the base into the drain.
DUST GUARD
A rear panel with a foam filter prevents dust from clogging the
refrigeration coils. This filter should be cleaned monthly with a
vacuum cleaner attachment or by washing with a mild detergent
in warm water. The filter panel is easily removed by flexing it
outward in the centre, freeing the tabs in the sides of the cabinet.
DEFROST TIMER
Your dehumidifier is specially equipped with a defrost timer which
enables the refrigerated coils to be defrosted once per hour. This
timer turns off the compressor, thereby eliminating the refrigera-
tion of the coils. The fan continues to draw air over the coils
causing the ice to melt and drop down into the reservoir.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
When your dehumidifier requires cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner
attachment or brush to clean the front grille. The air drying coil
is best cleaned with a cloth and hot water. The dust guard filter
can be washed or vacuumed. Always UNPLUG THE DEHUMIDIFIER
before attempting to clean. The motor is permanently lubricated
and does not require oiling.
