DEHUMIDIFIER
Installaon and Operaon Manual
The Clean Comfort™ DV090 dehumidier
performs mulple funcons in a compact
enclosure: high-capacity dehumidicaon,
fresh air venlaon, and parculate ltraon.
Dehumidication
The highly ecient DV090 dehumidier ulizes
refrigeraon to cool the incoming air stream
below its dew point. This cooled and drier air
is used to pre-cool the incoming air stream
resulng in increased overall eciency. Aer the
pre-cooling stage the processed air is reheated
by passing through the condenser coil.
Fresh Air Ventilation (Optional)
Fresh outdoor air may be ducted to the
dehumidier. This provides fresh air to dilute
indoor pollutants and replenish oxygen
content in the building. The amount of fresh
air venlaon can be regulated by a variety
of dampers and controls in order to provide
desired venlaon rates.
Air Filtration
The DV090 features air ltraon, using a
MERV-11 media lter, to improve indoor
air quality.

Installation Considerations
Location
• This equipment is designed to be installed INDOORS IN
A SPACE THAT IS PROTECTED FROM RAIN
AND FLOODING.
• Install the unit with enough space to access one
of the side panels for maintenance and service.
• Avoid direcng the discharge air at people, or over the
water in pool areas.
• If used near a pool or spa; be certain there is NO
chance the unit could fall into the water, splashed and
that it is plugged into a GFCI (GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
INTERRUPT) OUTLET.
• DO NOT use the unit as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the unit directly on structural members.
• A drain pan MUST be placed under the unit if installed
above a living area or above an area where water leak-
age could cause damage.
• Locate the unit near the exisng HVAC system to mini-
mize the required ductwork for connecng it to the
exisng air handling system. The controls for the dehu-
midier are remote from the unit and must be located
in the space that is to be condioned. The controls are
low voltage (24 VAC) and should be connected to the
unit with low voltage thermostat cable.
• If fresh air venlaon is desired, thought should be giv-
en to the locaon for the fresh air ducng. A 6" round
insulated duct will have to be installed on the unit and
run to the outside of the home to bring in fresh air. Use
an 8" insulated round duct for lengths of more than 50
feet or if more than 100 CFM is needed. Consult local
codes for necessary distances from exhaust ports when
installing fresh air return.
Power Accessibility
Unit should be located in an area where the cord's length
(8') can easily reach a 115VAC electrical outlet with a
minimum of a 15 A circuit capacity.
Space
Locaon should have enough clearance to handle the
unit's overall dimensions as well as the necessary return/
supply ductwork to the unit. Allow a minimum 15" clear-
ance to the side of the unit to allow for lter removal and
replacement.
Low Voltage Wiring
Unit locaon should be in an area where eld wiring the
remote controls (low voltage) to the unit will
be possible.
Back-Draft Damper
It is recommended that a backdra damper be used
in the supply duct of the DV090, especially when con-
necng to the supply ducng system. The backdra
damper prevents supply air from counter owing through
the DV090 when it is not operang. The unit locaon
should be chosen to allow installaon of this accessory if
requested by the end user.
Support Structure and Suspension
Place the DV090 on supports to raise the base of the
unit 2.5” above the drain pan beneath it. Do not place
the DV090 directly on structural building members with-
out vibraon absorbers or unwanted noise may result.
The DV090 may be suspended with steel hanger straps
(plumbers tape) or a suitable alternave from structural
members, as long as the suspending assembly supports
the DV090's base in its enrety. Do not hang the DV090
from its cabinet. Remember to place a drain pan under
the unit if it is suspended above a nished area or above
an area where water leakage could cause damage.
Electrical Requirements
ICAUTION!
Do not all the yellow lead from the DV090 to contact
the red lead or white lead from the DV090 or the
transformer will be destroyed.
The Clean Comfort DV090 plugs into a common grounded
115VAC outlet. The device draws 6.7 Amps under normal
operang condions. If used in an area which may
become wet, a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected circuit is required. Please consult local electrical
codes for any further informaon.
The DV090 can be controlled by a variety of devices
including the Clean Comfort DVP-4034748 or
DVP-4034753 digital controls. The controls are to
be located remotely from the unit and located in the
space to be condioned. The controls are low voltage
(24 volt) and should be connected to the DV090 with
low voltage wire (thermostat or other appropriate).

CONDENSATE REMOVAL
IO-DV090 IO-DV090 WWW.CLEANCOMFORT.COM 5
Lifting Condensate
An oponal condensate pump may be installed if a
vercal li is required to dispose of the condensate.
The condensate pump can be ordered direct from
your dealer.
Condensate Pump Installation (optional)
A condensate pump can be installed on the condensate
drain line of the Clean Comfort DV090 dehumidier if
vercal li is required to dispose of the condensate.
Condensate is automacally pumped to a remote
locaon when the water level in the condensate pump's
reservoir rises to close the automac oat switch.
In the event the pump fails and water rises too high in
the reservoir a Safety Float Switch will become open.
The leads from this switch should be installed in series
with the yellow or blue eld wires to prevent the pump
from overowing. If the yellow wire is in series with the
Install the digital control in a central area of the home where
it will sense the relave humidity accurately.
ICAUTION!
Do not install the control where it may not accurately
sense the relave humidity such as near HVAC supply
registers, exterior doors, windows, water sources,
or on an outside wall.
The installer must supply the wiring between the DV090
and the control. Be sure to safely route the control
wiring to prevent damage during installaon
ICAUTION!
Do not cross wires when connecng the DV090 and the
control or damage to the transformer may result. The
remote controls of the DV090 are powered by a low
voltage circuit (24VAC) and must NEVER contact or be
connected to a high voltage circuit.
The control wires leaving the DV090 and the control are
numbered and color-coded to prevent confusion. Some of
the control wires leaving the DV090 may not be used with
certain control and should be le unconnected with wire
nuts taped onto the stripped ends for safety. Be sure to
consult the electrical schemac in this manual or inside
the access panel of the DV090 before making control
connecons.
Condensate (Water) Removal
The Clean Comfort DV090 dehumidier generates
condensate. Condensate drains by gravity via the drain
port. Install a 3/4" male NPT adapter to the drain pan.
It is necessary to assemble your own drain pipe assembly
ulizing 3/4" PVC pipe to route the condensate to a drain.
Pitch/grade of drain should be 1" per 10'.
Take care when installing drain pipe to drain port of
the DV090; Use an adjustable wrench to secure the
drain port.
Figure 1: Trapping of Condensate Drain Line
ICAUTION!
A trap in the drain line is required for the unit to drain
properly. Local codes may require a trap. Use care to keep
the pipe assembly as at to the oor as possible. Kinks
and/or humps will prevent proper drainage.
When installing the drain hose make sure the feet are
extended such that the dehumidier is 2 1/2" o the
ground. Then coil the drain hose under itself or posion
a spacer to li the hose 1" o the ground aer the hose
has touched the ground. This procedure will create a
trap that ensures your unit drains correctly. See the
diagram below for further visual claricaon.

Ducting for Dehumidication
For the ideal installaon, draw air from the central part of
the home and return it to the isolated areas of the home
like the bedrooms, den, ulity room, or family room. Be
sure to ulize as many of these remote rooms as possible
and not just one locaon. The ductwork of the exisng
HVAC system can be used to supply air to the home. If
the exisng supply goes to isolated areas of the home,
discharge the supply from the DV090 into the supply duct
of the exisng HVAC system. If the exisng heang system
incorporates a central supply, installaon of a separate
supply duct from the DV090 to each isolated area is
recommended.

DUCTING
IO-DV090 IO-DV090
WWW.CLEANCOMFORT.COM

Ducting for Fresh Air (Optional)
Fresh air may be brought into the home by connecng an
insulated duct from outside the home to the 6" inlet of
the DV090 and turning on the fan switch or acvang the
humidity control. Acvate the venlaon mer on units
with the venlang and humidity control DVP-4034748
to bring in fresh air. Refer to the Controls secon of this
manual for programming instrucons of the venlaon
mer.
Advantages of this form of venlaon include:
1. Outside air is ltered before entering the building.
2. Outside air will be dehumidied before entering if the
DV090 is running in dehumidicaon mode.
3. Drawing air from outside and blowing inside aids in
slightly pressurizing the home. This helps prevent
dirty and humid air from entering the home else-
where. It also reduces the potenal for carcinogenic
radon gas to enter and provides a small amount of
make-up air for atmospheric combuson and exhaust
devices such as a clothes dryer, replace, furnace or
water heater.
4. Exhaust fans are recommended in the bath rooms
and kitchen.
In cold climates or areas where the outdoor dew point is
low at mes, venlaon can be used to dehumidify the
home, making the DV090 capable of year-round drying.
This is accomplished by bringing the dry, low dew point
air into the home during these mes. This approach is
oen more economical than running the dehumidier
to remove excess moisture from the home.
In cold climates, it is crical to adequately venlate to
reduce the indoor humidity to avoid moisture accumulat-
ing in the wall cavies. For example; in a house that
experiences condensaon on the interior surface of the
windows during the winter, increasing the amount of
venlaon will oen cure the problem.
An insulated 6" diameter duct is generally sucient to
provide up to 75 CFM of outside air. Large quanes
of outside air can impact the DV090's performance
posively or negavely, depending upon the inside and
outside air condions.
The outside air duct should be connected to the 6" round
collar on the front of the DV090. The amount of outside
air can be restricted by the blade damper in the 6" collar.
Fresh Air/Supply Air
ICAUTION!
DO NOT draw air directly from the kitchen, laundry,
or isolated basement. You may draw air from a
basement that is open to the home. All exible
ducng connected to the DV090 should be UL listed.
A short piece of exible ducng on ALL DV090 duct
connecons is recommended to reduce noise and
vibraon transmied to rigid ductwork in the structure.
Ducng the DV090 requires consideraon of the
following points:
Duct Sizing: For total duct lengths up to 25', use a
minimum 10" diameter round or equivalent rectangular
duct. For longer lengths, use a minimum 12" diameter
or equivalent duct. Grilles or diusers on the duct ends
must not excessively restrict airow.
Isolated Areas: Eecve dehumidicaon may require
that ducng be branched to isolated, stagnant air ow
areas. Use 8" or larger diameter branch ducng to each
of two or three areas, use 6" or larger to each of four or
more areas. Provisions must be made to provide airow
from supply locaons to central return locaon. Proper air
distribuon is important to ensure even humidity control
and heat distribuon throughout the home.
Connecting to existing HVAC systems: An oponal
10" gravity backdra damper is available to prevent re-
verse air ow through the DV090. If the DV090 is ducted
to the supply of an air handler, the backdra damper
should be placed in the DV090 supply duct. Venlaon
operaon is controlled by the digital control oered with
the DV090. These controls determine the me/frequency
that the unit introduces outside air into the HVAC
system. The amount of outside air can be restricted by
the blade damper in the 6" collar. Some control opons
require a 6" motorized damper be installed in the 6"
fresh air duct.
ICAUTION!
Do not connect with a stac pressure greater than
or equal to +.5 WG. Contact Technical Support at
1-855-239-2665 for addional details.

DUCTING
IO-DV090 IO-DV090 WWW.CLEANCOMFORT.COM 9
It is recommended that a new, separate return duct be
installed for the DV090 from a central area of the house.
If this is not possible, and if the exisng system has
mulple returns, select one to disconnect from the
exisng forced air system and use it for the dedicated
DV090 return. Always select a return from a central
locaon in the home in an area that is always open to
the rest of the home. Do not use a return from a room
that may have its door closed much of the me. If the
home in which the DV090 is to be installed has an
exisng forced air HVAC system, ulize the HVAC
system to make the DV090 installaon easier.
Basement Installation: Install a separate 10" return
to the DV090 in a central area of the home. Oponal:
Duct the supply from the DV090 to a 10" x 10" x 10"
tee/damper, adjusted to 20% open to the basement.
This allows the ability to discharge a variable amount of
dehumidied air into a basement that may not be well
served by the exisng duct system, especially during the
summer months. Duct the other side of the tee to the air
supply of the exisng HVAC system. A backdra damper
is required in the duct between the 10" tee and the
central supply duct to prevent air from being discharged
into the basement during central fan operaon. Connect
a duct from outside to the 6" collar of the DV090 if you
wish to provide venlaon air. See Figure 4.
Fresh Air Ventilation
Venlaon controls determine the me/frequency that
the unit introduces outside air into the structure.
The amount/frequency of venlaon should be based
on the size and occupancy of the residence. If you are
unsure of your venlaon air requirements or have need
for higher air ows, consult Technical Support by calling
1-855-239-2665.
Figure 5: Ac Installaon
Installation in a Basement or Crawlspace
with an Existing Forced Air HVAC System.
Crawlspace Installation: Install a separate return to
the DV090 in a central area of the home. Oponal: Duct
the supply from the DV090 to a 10" x 10" x 10" tee/damper
that is 20% open to the crawlspace if desired. Duct the
other side of the tee to the air supply of the exisng HVAC
system with a backdra damper. Connect an Insulated
duct from outside to the 6" collar of the DV090 if you wish
to provide oponal venlaon air. See Figure 4.
Installation in an Attic with an Existing Forced
Air HVAC System
ICAUTION!
ALWAYS install a catch pan with a drain or Safety Float
Switch for condensate under the DV090 in an ac
or condensate may damage the living space below.
The Safety Float Switch should be installed in series with
the eld wire that connects the blue (#5) lead from the
DV090 to the blue (#5) lead on the digital control. If over-
ow occurs, this Safety Float Switch opens the compressor
control circuit and stops water producon before the
catch pan overows. The DV090 will connue to venlate
or circulate air as normal, but will not dehumidify unl this
switch closes.
The preferred method of installaon is to create a separate
return for the DV090 in a central area of the structure. Duct
the supply of the DV090 to the air supply of the exisng
HVAC system. Connect an insulated duct from outside to
the 6" collar of the DV090 if you wish to provide fresh make-
up air. Adjust a damper in the duct to provide the desired air
ow. Using the digital control, program the unit to bring in
the desired amount of fresh air. See Figure 5.

Installation in a Home with No Existing
Forced Air HVAC System
When installing the DV090 in a home that does not have
a forced-air HVAC system, a single return to the DV090
should be installed in central open area of the home.
DO NOT locate the return in a bathroom or a kitchen.
The supplies of the DV090 should be located in the
remote areas of the home such as bedrooms, den, etc.
Be sure to ulize as many of these remote rooms as
possible and not just one locaon. By ducng this way,
the air inside the enre home will circulate through the
DV090 to be ltered and dehumidied. Avoid discharging
all the air from the dehumidier in one locaon to prevent
heat buildup in that area. 6" diameter duct is recom-
mended for branches to the bedrooms, 8" diameter duct
is recommended for branches to larger areas. Connect an
insulated duct from outside to the 6" collar of the DV090
if you wish to provide venlaon. See Figure 6.
Figure 6: Installaon with no forced air HVAC system
Ducting for High Eciency Filtration
The lter included with the DV090 is a very ecient
MERV 11 media lter. This lter should be checked
every three months and changed every 6-12 months.
Quiet Installation
Consider compression vibraon and airow noise during
installaon. Use of ex duct and/or vibraon isolaon
materials during mounng and ducng will result in qui-
eter operaon. A length of exible ducng on all DV090
duct connecons is recommended to reduce noise and
vibraon transmied to rigid ductwork in the home.
Controls
The DV090 can be equipped with various accessories to
control its operaon. The Clean Comfort DVP-4034748
digital control is recommended. The DVP-4034748 allows
homeowners the ability to monitor and control relave
humidity levels in their home as well as provide proper
venlaon. This digital control is also oered with a
remote sensing opon (part number DVP-4034753) for
installaons where the preferred locaon for mounng
the digital control is not close to the area where humidity
control is needed.

Technical Description of
Dehumidier Operation
The DV090 uses a refrigeraon system similar to an air
condioner's to remove heat and moisture from incom-
ing air, and add heat to the supply air that is discharged
from the dehumidier. Hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas
is routed from the compressor to the condenser coil (See
Figure 9). The refrigerant is cooled and condensed by
giving up its heat to the supply air being discharged from
the unit. The refrigerant liquid then passes through a
strainer and capillary tubing which causes the refrigerant
pressure and temperature to drop. It next enters the
evaporator coil where it absorbs heat from the incoming
air and evaporates. The evaporator operates in a ooded
condion, which means that all the evaporator tubes
contain liquid refrigerant during normal operaon. A
ooded evaporator should maintain nearly constant
pressure and temperature across the enre coil, from
inlet to outlet.
The mixture of gas and liquid refrigerant enters the
accumulator aer leaving the evaporator coil. The ac-
cumulator prevents any liquid refrigerant from reaching
the compressor. The compressor evacuates the cool
refrigerant gas from the accumulator and compresses
it to a high pressure and temperature to repeat
the process.

Humidity Control
The humidity control is an adjustable switch that closes
when the relave humidity of the air in which it is located
rises to the screen set point. The DV090 dehumidier is
equipped with an automac defrost mechanism. If the
dehumidier operates in condions that develop frost
on the evaporator, it will sense the frost build-up and
automacally defrost the evaporator. The dehumidier
may not appear to be operang correctly during the
defrost sequence, but once the defrost sequence is
completed, the unit will resume dehumidifying.
Programmable Ventilation Timer –
DVP-4034748 / DVP-4034753
The venlaon mer controls the impeller fan and the
motorized fresh air damper. When the venlaon mer
is acvated, the dehumidier will circulate the indoor
air, and bring in fresh air from outside. The venlaon
mer should be set for the required venlaon of the
residence. The home should be venlated with fresh air
as suggested by applicable codes and standards.If the
dehumidier fails to venlate as expected, check that the
me on the mer is correct. Also check the programs on
the mer to be sure that the mer is calling for venla-
on at the correct mes
Motorized Ventilation Damper
The motorized venlaon damper is controlled by a eld-
supplied venlaon mer, such as the Clean Comfort
DVP-4034748 control. The damper will open when the
venlaon mer is acvated to allow fresh air into the
home through the 6" diameter fresh air inlet supply duct.
The motorized venlaon damper will remain closed when
the venlaon mer is not acvated to prevent over-venlang
the home when the unit is dehumidifying or recirculang
the indoor air. The motorized venlaon damper operates
on 24VAC from the control circuit.
ICAUTION!
DO NOT connect high voltage to the damper motor or
damage to the motor may result.
ICAUTION!
DO NOT force the blade of the damper by hand or
damage to the damper motor may result. The damper
opens in one direcon only. The damper rotates very
slowly; allow sucient me for the damper to cycle.
The damper opens in one direcon only. It rotates very
slowly; be sure to allow sucient me for the damper to
cycle. The damper will take approximately one minute to
cycle from closed to open or from open to closed.
If the motorized venlaon damper fails to operate:
1. Check that the wiring is correct and that voltage is
present at the damper motor.
2. Check for any obstrucon inside the damper. If the
motorized venlaon damper fails to operate aer
performing these checks, it must be replaced.
