OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) When first operating the dehumidifier, run it in Continuous mode for 24 hours.
2) Power On and Off - Press the POWER button once to manually turn the unit on. Press the POWER
button once more to turn the unit off.
3) Humidity Selection - Press the “+” or “-” buttons to choose the desired relative humidity in the room.
Each press of the button will change the desired room humidity by 5%. The room humidity is selectable
from 35%-80% or continuous. The unit will cycle on and off to maintain the humidity level chosen on the
digital display. If you want the dehumidifier to operate continuously regardless of the room humidity, press
the (-) buttons until you see “CO” on the digital display. This will enable continuous operation and the
“Continue” indicator will light up on the control panel.
4) Fan Speed Control - Press the FAN SPEED Button to cycle through the different fan speeds: High,
Medium, and low. The fan speed can be visually distinguished by the fan speed indicators on the control
panel.

press TIMER button to select either 2 or 4 hours. Once the desired time (2 or 4 hours) is over, the unit will
automatically turn on.
6) Bucket Full - When the water bucket is full of water, the unit will automatically shut off , make a beeping
noise, and the Bucket Full Indicator will light up. The dehumidifier will not function until the water
bucket is emptied and placed back inside the unit. The bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to pre-
vent the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Use a mild detergent to clean the bucket. Once clean, com-
pletely dry the bucket and place it back inside the dehumidifier.
NOTE: Support bucket with
both hands when emptying
NOTE: When the bucket is full or removed from the machine, the compressor will turn off, but the fan
will continue to run for a few minutes. This is completely normal. The dehumidifier will not be
removing moisture from the air at this time.

support the unit with a full bucket of water.
•
•
•
Allow at least 12”-18” of air flow on all sides and at least 40” for the exhaust side.
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 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.
AUTOMATIC DEFROST
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run until the frost disappears.
When the coils is completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically restart and
dehumidification will resume.
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE HOSE
Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a hose to the continuous drainage port on the side of the dehumidifier. This will
allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain,
simply attach a standard garden hose (not included). 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 inches (1.0625 inches or 27.0 mm) and a pitch of 11.5 TPI.

Remove the bucket from the front of the unit.
Open the drain cover on the side of the dehumidifier.
Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the nozzle, cut to length and lead to the floor drain.
Replace the bucket in the dehumidifier.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
ATTENTION: When using continuous drainage option, place dehumidifier on a level surface and make sure garden hose
is clear of any obstructions and is directed downward. Press down drain door so it rests on top of the hose.
Placing dehumidifier on an uneven surface or improper hose installation may result in water filling up the
bucket and causing the unit to shut off. Empty water bucket if shut off occurs, then check dehumidifier
location and hose for proper setup.
