About the controls and features of the dehumidifier.

WATER FULL Indicator

Blinks when the bucket is full or not in place.

DEHUMIDIFY Indicator

Lights when the compressor (dehumidifying
function) is on. 

CURRENT HUMIDITY Display

Shows the ambient humidity. The range
displayed is 39-95%. If the current humidity is
below 39%, it will still show 39. 

Auto Defrost Feature

When frost builds up on the cooling coils, 
the compressor will cycle off until the frost
disappears. The fan continues to run.

FUNCTION

When you first plug in the dehumidifier, it
goes through a self-test. When the 

OFF

light

comes on, keep pressing the 

FUNCTION

pad 

to make your selection.

70-60% AUTOMATIC ON/OFF

The dehumidifier runs when the humidity 
in the room exceeds 70%. The compressor
stops but the fan will run when the humidity
is below 60%.

60-50% AUTOMATIC ON/OFF

Same as above, but at 60% and 50%. 

CONTINUOUS RUN

Continuously dehumidifies until bucket is
full or humidity is below 35%.

CLEAN AIR (FAN ONLY)

The compressor is off, but the fan runs.

FUNCTION

Choosing a Location

The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective. 

Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the room. 

Place the dehumidifier in a location that does 
not restrict air flow into the rear coil or out the 
front grille.

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. 

Air Direction

Make sure the louvers are open before starting the unit. 

The louvers can be adjusted to blow air upward or
straight out. 

It is normal for the surrounding air to become
slightly warmer as the dehumidifier operates. 
This warming effect further reduces the relative
humidity of the surrounding air.
