• Read all instructions before using the Main 

Unit.

• Use only a 220-240 volt outlet.

• This appliance is not intended for use 

by persons (including children) with 
reduced physical, sensory or mental 
capabilities, or lack of experience and 
knowledge, unless they have been given 
supervision or instruction concerning 
use of the appliance by a person 
responsible for their safety.  Children

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be 

replaced by the manufacturer, its service 
agent, a Sharp authorized Service 
Center or similarly qualifi ed persons in 
order to avoid a hazard.

• Be sure to remove the power plug when 

draining the water, before performing 
maintenance, when removing and 
attaching and replacing the fi lter and 
when not using for a long time. Failure 
to do so can cause a short circuit 
resulting in electrical shock or fi re.

or plug is damaged or if the connection to 
the wall outlet is loose.

• Periodically remove dust from the plug.
• Do not insert fi ngers or foreign objects into 

the air intake or air outlet.

• When removing the power plug, always 

hold the plug and never pull on the cord. 
Failure to do so can cause a short circuit 
resulting in electrical shock or fi re.

• When removing the Main Unit, do not 

damage the power cord with the casters. 
Failure to do so can cause electric shock, 
heat generation, or fi re.

• Be careful not to damage the power cord, 

it may cause electric shock, excess heat or 
fi res.

• Do not remove the plug when your hands 

are wet.

• Do not place the Main Unit near gas 

appliances or fi replaces.

• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Center 

should service this dehumidifi er. Contact 
the nearest Service Center for any 
problems, adjustments, or repairs.

• Do not operate the Main Unit in rooms 

where aerosol insecticides are present. Do 
not operate the Main Unit in rooms where 
there is oily residue, incense, sparks from 
lit cigarettes, or chemical fumes in the air. 
Do not operate the Main Unit in places 
where it may get wet, such as a bathroom.

• Be cautious when cleaning the Main Unit. 

Strong corrosive cleansers can damage the 
exterior.

electrical shock.

• Clean the Water Tank regularly. When the 

Main Unit is not in use, dispose of the water 
in the Water Tank. Leaving water in the 
Water Tank can cause mold, bacteria, and 
bad odors. In rare cases, such bacteria can 
be a health hazard.

• Check for bent hose/falling height when 

you want to drain continuous, and place the 
hose where it will securely drain.

• Keep the temperature around the hose 

above freezing point when using the hose. 
Inner water may leak in the room and 
dampen the furniture or may cause electric 
shock/leakage, fi re.
