Design and Development

Abatement Dehumidifiers are used by professionals for the
drying out of wet materials such as carpets, carpet cushions,
floors, walls, building contents and more. They reduce the
water in enclosed structural environments like buildings or
parts of a building by removing water vapor from the air.
Safety Instructions
•Do not allow children to play with or around the operating
unit.
•Keep wiring and motor dry. Never operate the unit in
standing water, rain or snow, as this may create a risk of
injury from electric shock.
•Do not use residential three way multiple plug adapter.
•Do not operate the unit with a damaged power cord.
•Always operate the unit with a grounded plug and with a
grounded supply.
•Extension cords must be grounded and be able to deliver
the appropriate voltage to the unit.
•Do not drop or throw the unit.
•Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface.
•Do not clog or block air intakes.
•Always to keep the filter clean.
•Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit if you are
not qualified to do so.
How to Use Dehumidifiers
Setting Up a Drying Area
Managing the electrical consumption
The dehumidifier should be plugged into a grounded electrical
outlet. In large disaster environments, the use of optional 230V
to 115V converters may be helpful. This allows you to use the
electricity from the electric stove or oven which in turn will
leave the electricity from the wall available for your air movers.
These converters will minimize tripping of electrical breakers
when lots of air movers and dehumidifiers are present.

Create a closed drying chamber
The dehumidifier should be operated in an enclosed space in
order to create a drying chamber. Close all doors, windows or
areas that open to the outside to maximize the unit’s water
removal efficiency. Inside the drying chamber, air should
circulate freely. Open interior doors and turn on Air Movers to
increase the circulation.
Position the dehumidifier
Place the dehumidifier in the center of a room and keep it away
from anything that could prevent airflow into and out of the unit.
Managing the rising temperature
The dehumidifier warms the air as it removes moisture. Room
temperatures between 68°F and 84°F are favorable
temperatures for drying. In summer months while drying
flooded homes, set the A/C to 68°F with the A/C blower on
constant (ON). This will circulate the air in the entire home to
make sure the dry air is distributed evenly. In the winter, set
the furnace to at least 65°F with the blower set to the “ON”
position.
When the unit has been stored or transported in temperatures
below 60°F, place the dehumidifier in the room for about an
hour before operating (when possible). This will allow the unit
to acclimate to the warmer ambient temperature minimizing
conditions that cause the coils to freeze up thereby engaging
the defrost cycle.
CAUTION! Never operate the Aquatrap®dehumidifier at
temperatures above 100°F. It could damage the
machine construction and internal components.

Operating Your Dehumidifier
Place the dehumidifier in upright position
If the dehumidifier has been laid down in a horizontal position
for any time over a few minutes, you must set it upright
(vertical) for 30 minutes before starting.
Connect the drainage system
You can find the hose wrapped around the back of the
machine. Unwrap the entire hose and run it into a sink, toilet,
drain, or bucket. Remove any kinks in the hose. Use bleach in
the condensate pump once a year to keep clean.
Plug in the electrical cord
The electrical cord is stored wrapped around the air outlet on
the back of the unit. Unwrap the cord and plug it into a
standard outlet with the correct voltage and amperage for the
unit. If using an optional 230V to 115V converter that allows
you to plug in multiple units at the same time using your
customers’ electric clothes dryer, stove or oven outlet, always
check the voltage with a volt meter.
Before Transporting Your Dehumidifier
Before moving the unit, make sure the pump is empty of water.
Allow the unit to sit for 10 minutes after stopping the
dehumidification cycle. Push the PURGE key to clear water.
See “How to Use the Touch Pad Control Panel” for more
details.

Maintenance
WARNING! Always unplug any dehumidifier before performing
maintenance procedures.
Before Each Use
•Inspect the electrical cord for damage.
•Inspect condensate pump drain tube. Make sure the drain
tube is completely unwrapped and not kinked. Failure to
do so can cause water to back up in the pump and leak
out. The control panel may signal this problem by
displaying “ER01
•Inspect filter. Look for accumulated dust and dirt that
would restrict airflow through the filter into the unit. If any
is visible, vacuum out the debris. Do not wash the filter,
as it will reduce the effectiveness of the electrostatic
material.
Important: Replace the filter after:
•It has been vacuumed clean 3 times.
•It has been used on a mold remediation job.

Periodic Inspections (as needed)
Make sure the unit is unplugged. Remove housing, in order to
locate the coil, pump and drain hose.
•Check coil and clean visible dirty
Vacuum both sides of the coils until clean.
•Check pump
Inspect and clean the pump system regularly to
maintain effective operation. Remove one screw to
