A Dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no effect in drying
out an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
•
Do not use outdoors.
•
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor use only. Place the dehumidifier on
a smooth, level floor surface that is strong enough to support the unit with a
full bucket of water.
•
Allow at least
18”
of air flow on all sides.
•
Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below
41
°
F. The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41
°
F,
which may reduce performance.
•
Use the dehumidifier in areas that have excessive moisture such as entry-
ways, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms. NOTE: Place the dehu-
midifier away from a clothes dryer.
•
Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or valua-
bles are stored.
•
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture damage.
•
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
•
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the room.
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run un-
til the frost disappears. When the coils are completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the mod-
el) will automatically restart and dehumidification will resume.
