INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

• Avoid locations where the sensors are 

exposed to direct wind. Doing so can cause 

the Main Unit to malfunction.

• Avoid locations where furniture, fabrics, or 

other objects can come in contact with the 

Main Unit and interfere with the intake and 

outtake of air.

• Avoid locations where the Main Unit 

is exposed to condensation or drastic 

changes in temperature. Appropriate room 

temperature is between 4 - 38

°C

.

• Place the Main Unit on a level and stable 

surface with sufficient air circulation. When 

placed on heavy carpet, the Main Unit may 

vibrate slightly. Place the Main Unit on a 

level surface to avoid water leakage from 

the Water Tank.

• Avoid locations that generate grease or 

oily smoke. Doing so can cause the Main 

Unit exterior to crack and the sensors to 

malfunction.

• Do not remove the plug when your hands 

are wet.

• Do not place the Main Unit near gas 

appliances or fireplaces.

• Only a Sharp Authorized Service Center 

should service this dehumidifier. 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

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, fire.
