SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS FOR USING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury, or damage to the
dehumidifiers, these safety precautions must be followed:
Safety
• Do not place the power cord or dehumidifi-
er unit near a heater.
• Do not use an electrical outlet near flam-
mable or combustible materials such as
gasoline, propane, paint thinners, etc.
• Do not disassemble or modify dehumidifier
parts or components. It may cause electric
shock and failure.
•
Plug in the power cord properly.
•
Do not turn the unit on and off by inserting
or pulling out the power plug.
•
Do not damage the power cord or use an
unspecified power cord.
•
Do not modify power cord length.
•
Do not share the outlet with another appli-
ance.
•
Always plug into a grounded outlet. Not
grounding unit may cause electrical shock.
•
Unplug the unit if it emits strange sounds,
odors, or smoke.
•
Do not use an electrical outlet if it is loose
or damaged.
•
Do not operate or plug in unit with wet
hands or in a wet environment.
•
Ventilate area before operating dehumidifi-
er. Check for the presence of
natural gas
or the buildup of other combustible vapors.
•
Do not clean the dehumidifier with water.
Water may enter the unit and degrade the
insulation resulting in an electrical shock.
•
If water enters the product, turn off the de-
humidifier's power switch, then unplug the
unit. Do not plug in unit until it has been
inspected by an authorized repair service.
•
Because the fan rotates at high speed dur-
ing operation, always unplug dehumidifier
before attempting any recommended
maintenance or cleaning.
•
Do not block the inlet or outlet. It may
cause unit to fail or to operate inefficiently.
• Do not remove plug from outlet by pulling
on the cord.
• When not in use, turning the unit off will
save energy. Unplug the dehumidifier
when not using for long periods of time.
• When removing the filter, be aware that
some metal parts may have sharp edges
and may cause injury.
• Do not use the water collected in the
bucket for drinking purposes. It is not
sanitary and could cause illness.
• Do not allow children to play with this
product.
Tips
• Make sure the dehumidifier is the correct
size for the area you want to dehumidify.
It is not designed to dehumidify the entire
house.
• For proper operation, the dehumidifier
should only be placed on a level floor.
• Close all doors, windows and other
openings to the room. The dehumidifier
must operate in an enclosed area to be
effective.
• To clean, use a soft cloth; do not use
wax, thinners, or strong detergents as
they may change the color of the unit or
cause surface damage.
• Be sure to replace the bucket properly
after emptying to prevent water from col-
lecting on the floor causing damage to
some types of flooring.
• Do not put a pet or house plant where it
will be exposed to direct air flow. This
could injure the pet or plant.
• Operation without filter will cause unit
failure. Insert the filter securely. Clean it
every two weeks. (See Care and Mainte-
nance section in this manual on page
13).
