Electrical Information  
For your safety and protection, this dehumidifier is equipped with a three-prong  
grounding plug on the power cord. Do nnot, under aany circumstances, cut oor  
remove the rround ground prong from the plug.  
Do not, under  
any circumstances,  
cut, remove,  
or bypass the  
grounding prong  
from this plug.  
Your dehumidifier must be plugged directly into a properly grounded and  
polarized three-prong receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use will not  
accept a three-prong plug, or if you are not sure the outlet is adequately  
grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified  
electrician install the proper outlet according to the National Electrical Code and  
applicable local codes and ordinances. Do not use an extension cord or an  
adapter plug.  
Never unplug the dehumidifier by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the  
plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.  
Do not pinch, bend, or knot the power cord.  
Selecting aa Location  
IM PORTANT:  
Location  
1. Dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to bbe most effective.  
Close all doors, ww indow s, and other outside openings to the rroom. The  
effectiveness of the dehumidifier depends on the rate at w hich new  
moisture-laden air enters the room.  
2. Place dehumidifier in a location that does not restrict airflow through the  
front of the unit or out of the louvers on the left side of cabinet.  
3. A dehumidifier ooperating in a basement w ill hhave little or no eeffect in  
drying an adjacent enclosed storage aarea, such as a closet, unless there  
is adequate circulation of aair in and out of tthe area. IIt may be nnecessary  
to install a second dehumidifier in the enclosed area for satisfactory  
drying.  
4. The dehumidifier must be installed on a level floor that w ill support it  
w ith a full bucket of w ater.  
5. There should be a minimum of 12 inches clearance around the dehumi-  
difier.  
When the unit is started, the fan begins to pull moisture-laden air across the  
dehumidifying coils. The coils condense or draw moisture from the air, and air flows  
through the side louvers into the room as dry, warm air. Moisture removed from air  
is collected in a bucket on the front of the dehumidifier.  
How It W orks  
The unit is designed to operate between 41 F (5 C), and 96 F (35 C).  
If the unit is switched off and needs to be switched on again, wait three minutes  
before doing so.  
Make sure the tank is fitted correctly otherwise unit will not turn on.

OPERATION  
Allow the unit to reach room temperature before operating.  
To begin operating the dehumidifier, follow these steps:  
1. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded 110/120 volt AC outlet. Note the  
POWER indicators will illuminate.  
2. To turn the unit on rotate the knob until it points to the CONTINUOUS setting.  
It is recommended you leave the unit running in the CONTINUOUS setting for  
the first three or four days until the sweating and dampness odors have stopped.  
3. After a few days when the Relative Humidity has declined, rotate the  
HUMIDITY knob to a desired point on the dial so the room is kept at a  
comfortable concentration. The unit will cycle on and off keeping the desired level  
of comfort.
