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 pull-

ing on the cord.

• Do not place the power cord 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.

• 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.

• 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 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 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 dehumidi-

fier. 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

dehumidifier'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 main-

tenance or cleaning.

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 open-

ings to the room. The dehumidifier must

operate in an enclosed area to be effec-

tive.

• 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

collecting 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-

• Do not block the inlet or outlet. It may

cause

unit to fail or to operate inefficiently.

• Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death, fire or electrical shock.

INSTALLING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER

DEFROST OPERATION

• Install the dehumidifier on a level floor

strong enough to support the unit with a

full bucket of water.

• For best performance, allow at least 12-18

inches of air space on all sides of the unit

for good air circulation.

The dehumidifier has a built-in defrost

control that senses frost buildup on the

evaporator coils.

During defrosting, the compressor will

automatically turn off; the fan will continue

running to defrost the coils.

• Keep all outside doors, windows and other

openings closed when operating the dehu-

midifier. Humid outdoor air will add to the

unit's workload.

• Leave the dehumidifier in an upright posi-

tion for 30 minutes before turning on.

NOTE: Dehumidifier will not work and settings can not be changed when the BUCKET FULL

indicator light is flashing or without the bucket properly installed.

Dehumidifier has reached

the user set humidity level

or the bucket is full.

The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either

condition occurs. Change to a lower setting or

empty the water bucket and replace properly.

DO NOT REMOVE THE STYROFOAM IN THE BUCKET

Bucket is not in the proper

position.

The bucket must be in place and securely seated for

the dehumidifier to operate.

This dehumidifier is equipped with a reliable Styrofoam float system. The Styrofoam

located inside the float in the bucket is essential to the bucket full system working

properly. Do not remove the Styrofoam from the float.

Power Failure.

There is a protective time delay of 3 minutes to

USING THE PUMP

Step Insert the drain hose onto the drainage joint so that it is fully seated. (Fig. 9)

NOTE: Make sure the drain hose is lower than the horizontal plane of the drain on

the dehumidifier as seen in the illustration below. Drain hose should be as short as

possible and all kinks in the drain hose should be eliminated for proper pump opera-

tion.

2. Remove hose from drainage joint and cut hose to appropriate length.

3. Once cut is completed, refer to installing the Drain Hose to re-install dehu-

midifier drain hose.

Step 6: Place bucket in the dehumidifier for operation. (Fig. 11)

USING THE DRAIN PUMP

1. Plug into grounded electrical outlet.

2. Place the other end of the pump hose where you would like to empty the wa-

ter (floor drain, water container or through a basement window). The pump

will automatically start and begin pumping the water that drains into it. Check

hose for kinks or other obstructions.

3. Before and after each use, check hose connections to make sure they are
