NOTES

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 remove plug from outlet by pulling

• Do not place the power cord or dehumidifi-

er unit near a heater.

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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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).

• Do not block the inlet or outlet. It may

cause unit to fail or to operate inefficiently.

Dehumidifier Facts

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY LEVELS ACCORDING TO ENERGY STAR

 Spring/Summer: 30% - 50%

OBSERVE ALL LOCAL CODES AND

ORDINANCES.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

For your personal safety, this appliance

must be grounded. This appliance has a

power supply cord with a 3-prong

grounded plug. To minimize possible

shock hazard the cord must be plugged

into a matching grounded electrical out-

let that complies with the latest edition

of the National Electrical Codes and all

local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD

GROUND PRONG.

 Fall/Winter: 30% - 40%

ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED ON

THIS APPLIANCE

WARM AIR EXHAUST IS NORMAL

During operation your dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the side of the

unit. This is normal operation.

A 115-VOLT 60Hz, AC ONLY, 15A FUSED

AND PROPERLY GROUNDED ELECTRI-

CAL SUPLLY IS REQUIRED.

If a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet is

not available, it is the personal responsi-

bility and obligation of the customer to

have one installed by a qualified electri-

cian.

EMPTYING THE BUCKET

A time delay fuse or time delay circuit

breaker is recommended. Use a dedi-

cated circuit serving only this appliance.

The more moisture your dehumidifier removes from the air, the more often you

may have to empty the bucket (unless you are using the continuous drainage

option). The number of times the bucket will be emptied depends on the dehu-

midifier model.

LESS MOISTURE BEING REMOVED OVER TIME IS A GOOD THING!

Using a dehumidifier will cause your area to maintain a more comfortable hu-

midity level. Over time, this

humidity level will become more and more sta-

ble. Due to the stable humidity level in the area, the dehumidifier will need to

remove less and less moisture over time.

INSTALLING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

Please do not be concerned if the dehumidifier is removing less moisture from

the air or the bucket is taking longer to fill up. This is a direct result of your de-

humidifier creating a more stable humidity level in your area.

 Install the dehumidifier on a level floor

strong enough to support the unit with

a full bucket of water.

DEFROST OPERATION

The dehumidifier has a built-in defrost

control that senses frost buildup on the

evaporator coils.

 For best performance, allow at least

12-18 inches of air space on all sides

of the unit for good air circulation.

 Keep all outside doors, windows and

other openings closed when operat-

ing the dehumidifier. Humid outdoor

air will add to the unit's workload.

 Leave the dehumidifier in an upright

position for 30 minutes before turning

on.

DON’T REMOVE THE STYROFOAM IN THE BUCKET!

During defrosting, the compressor will

automatically turn off; the fan will contin-

ue running to defrost the coils.

All Soleus Air dehumidifiers are equipped with a reliable Styrofoam float sys-

tem. The Styrofoam located inside the float in the bucket is essential to the

bucket full system working properly. Please do not remove the Styrofoam from

the float.

WATER DISPOSING OPTIONS

USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER

Step 2: Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the drain nozzle. (Fig. 5)

The thread standard for garden hoses in the US and its territories is known

as GHT or "garden hose thread" which has an outer diameter of 1 1/16 in.

(1.0625 inches or 27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI.

NOTE: When installing the pump hose, the unit must be running in PUMP

MODE. Water is pumped a maximum of 16 vertical feet. Do not exceed 16

feet for proper operation.

There is a small backup water tank inside the dehumidifier. When using

PUMP mode the backup water tank fills up and then water is pumped out of

the dehumidifier when full.

(FIG. 5)

When the unit is not in use for an extended time, it is necessary to drain any

excess water from the backup tank.

DRAINING EXCESS WATER IN BACKUP TANK:

1. Remove the bucket from the dehumidifier

2. Locate a small pan or bowl to collect the water (not supplied).

3. Pull the plug from the backup tank and allow the water to drain into the

pan or bowl.

Step 3: Remove the drain cover from the back of the bucket prior to seating

the bucket in the unit. (Fig. 6)

(FIG. 6)

Step 4: Properly insert the bucket into the dehumidifier and thread the hose

through the opening left by removing the drain cover. Make sure the hose

declines down from the unit and there are no kinks. (Fig. 7)

NOTE: When using conꢀnuous drainage opꢀon, make sure the garden hose is clear of

any obstrucꢀons and drains downward. Improper installaꢀon or use of hose may result in

water ﬁlling up the bucket and causing the unit to shut oﬀ. Empty the water bucket if shut

oﬀ occurs due to bucket full condiꢀon.

(FIG. 7)

Place unit on

even surface

NOTE: When removing the drain hose, excess water may spill from the

dehumidifier. Use a small pan or bowl to catch the water and prevent it

from spilling onto the unit or the floor.
