This dehumidier is for indoor use only!
When using your Pure & Dry dehumidier, basic precautions should always be observed,
including the following:
• The dehumidier must be directly connected to a grounded 110-120 VAC/60Hz power
supply outlet.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground pin from the power cord.
• Do not exceed the Amp rating of the power outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or power strip.
• Do not operate unit if the cord or plug is damaged.
• Do not modify power plug or cord or use a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter.
• Do not place dehumidier near heat sources such as heaters or open re.
• For your safety, do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other ammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Disconnect the power if strange sounds, smells or smoke come from the unit.
• Always disconnect the power before cleaning or maintaining the unit or when not in use.
• Never operate this dehumidier in an area that is likely to accumulate standing water. If this
condition develops, for your safety, disconnect the power supply before stepping into the
water.
• Never unplug by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug and pull straight out of the receptacle.
• Do not repair, disassemble and/or modify the unit by yourself.
• There must be free space of at least 12” (30.5cm) between any other object and the
dehumidier.
• This unit is not a toy. Do not permit children or others with limitations to operate unit.
• Do not rest heavy or hot objects on top of the dehumidier or immerse in water.
• Do not use harsh or abrasive-type chemicals to clean the lter or unit.
• Ensure curtains or other hanging objects are not obstructing air intake and exhaust.
• To help reduce noise and vibration and ensure proper drainage, dehumidier should be
positioned on a rm level surface.

WARNING: This appliance must be grounded and should only be connected to a ground
110 - 1120V / 60Hz main supply. The installation must be in accordance with
the regulations of the country where the unit is used.
• This unit is designed to operate between 41° F and 90 °F. The optimal operating
temperature range is between 60° F and 90°F. The humidity level can be set within a range
of 40% RH (Relative Humidity) to 70% RH.
Typically when the room temperature is less than 59° F, humidity levels are low. When
humidity levels are low in the room the LOW TEMPERATURE icon will light up. The LOW
TEMPERATURE icon will ash if room temperature falls between 35° F and 58° F. The
dehumidier should not be used when the LOW TEMPERATURE icon is ashing.
• In the event of a power outage, the unit will restart at the previously set function mode and
setting when power is restored.

speed for humidity higher than 60%. When the humidity is between 55% and 60%, the fan
speed is based on its previous level.
• Drying – In Drying Mode, both the fan and the dehumidier operate continuously. The fan
operates at high speed to maximize the air ow through the unit. Use this mode to extract
the maximum amount of moisture from the air in the least amount of time.
• Air Purication – In Air Purication Mode, the fan operates continuously and the

You have the ability to lter and purify air with your Pure & Dry dehumidier by using the
HEPA/Activated Carbon Filter. Activated Carbon Filters can eectively remove VOCs, dust,
smoke and odors from the air. HEPA lters eectively remove dust and allergens.
Once the unit reads that the lter has been installed, the Air Purication Mode will light up
and the interior fan will begin to run at high speed. You can control the speed of the fan by
selecting the Humidity Set Key %
M
. This will allow you to choose between High and Low
wind speed.
The unit will not operate if a lter is not detected in Air Purication Mode. The lter light will
ash, indicating that a lter needs to be installed.
NOTE: Depending upon usage and environment, we recommend you change the HEPA/
Activated Carbon Filter each season but no less than once every 8 months. The unit
will keep track of how many days your lter has been working. When the lter is
replaced, press the FILTER TIMER to reset.
INSTALLING HEPA/ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
1. Open front panel and remove the
washable Pre-Filter by unsnapping from
its notches.
2. Place the HEPA/Activated Carbon Filter
into the plastic frame. Place the
washable Pre-Filter back over the HEPA/
Activated Carbon Filter and snap back
into place.
3. Close front panel. Insert tabs at bottom
into base and push closed at top. It is
held into place by magnets.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before changing filter.
