Use and Operation
INTRODUCTION
DrizAir dehumidifiers reduce humidity in enclosed structural environments
by removing water vapor from the air. With proper use, DrizAir dehumidifiers
can help dry wet materials like carpet, carpet pad, floors, walls, building con
-
tents and more. Using DrizAir dehumidifiers may also prevent secondary
damage caused by high humidity.
For best results, we recommend you use DrizAir dehumidifiers with Dri-Eaz
TurboDryer airmovers. The airmovers speed evaporation by lifting moisture
into the air.
HOW THE DRIZAIR DEHUMIDIFER WORKS
DrizAir refrigerant dehumidifiers operate by pulling moist air in across a very
cold evaporator core. The moisture condenses (freezes) on the coil. At inter
-
vals, the machine will go into defrost mode, warming the frost back to water.
The water collects in a tray and leaves the unit through a drain hose or
pump.
IMPORTANT:
Before moving the unit, make sure there’s no water in the pump.
See how to use the PURGE function under “How to use the touchpad con-
troller” on page 3.
SETTING UPADRYING AREA
Use in an enclosed space
You should operate DrizAir dehumidifiers in an enclosed area, as this cre-
ates a drying chamber. Close all doors, windows or areas that open to the
outside to maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Also, keep traffic
though the drying chamber to a minimum.
How to position the DrizAir dehumidifier
•
Place your DrizAir dehumidifier in the middle of a room away from walls
and contents
• Keep it away from anything that could prevent airflow into and out of the
unit.
Use a 115V, 3-prong
grounded connection
Do not use with an
adapter

Managing temperature rise
DrizAir dehumidifiers warm the air as they remove moisture. Optimal drying
temperatures range from 68-85°F (20-29°C).
The most accurate way to monitor temperature is with a thermo-hygrometer;
however, you can use an indoor/outdoor thermometer to gauge temperature
just make sure it’s located in the center of the room away from the airflow of
the dehumidifier.
If the temperature rises to unsafe levels (over 90°F/32°C) you can use the
structure’s HVAC (air conditioning) system to bring the temperature down.
Just set it to 80°F (27°C), and continue to operate the dehumidifier. If
there’s no HVAC system, call a Dri-Eaz at 888-867-3235, and a Technical
Specialist help you find an appropriate solution.
OPERATING YOUR DRIZAIR DEHUMIDIFIER
Setup
Place dehumidifier upright. If you transport a DrizAir dehumidifier in a hori-
zontal position, set it upright (vertical) for at least 30 minutes before you turn
it on. This is necessary because when the machine is horizontal, the oil from
the compressor flows into the refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the
dehumidifier to function.
Locate drainage system
The Evolution LGR pump connects to a plastic drainage hose. On the
DrizAir 1200 and 2000, you’ll find the hose wrapped around the air outlet
located on the back of the unit. On the 2400, it’s just below the outlet (see
diagrams to left). Unwrap the entire hose (see caution below) and place the
unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket even outside; anywhere that water
can drain out safely. If you use a bucket or contained receptacle for water
collection, check it regularly.
Plug in electrical cord
Locate the electrical cord either on the top or back of the unit. The entire
line of DrizAir dehumidifiers runs on a 115-volt (15 amp) grounded outlet,
which is standard in most homes. For the DrizAir 1200, 2000 and 2400,
press the “on” button on the touchpad.
If the unit experiences a loss of power, which can result from a power inter-
ruption or overheating, we recommend you let the unit sit off for five minutes
before restarting. Otherwise it might shut off again.
CAUTION
Do not operate DrizAir dehumidifiers at temperatures above 90°F (32°C). This can
cause damage to both the machine and the structure’s contents. Over-dried materi-
als (especially wood products) may crack, shrivel, or discolor. Use of a dehumidifier
in high-heat conditions will reduce its efficiency and the life of the machine.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
Dust can cause unit to overheat
and shut down.
Do not operate unit when dust or air-
borne particles are present, such as dur-
ing sanding or spray-painting.
Inspect and clean coils frequently
Read and understand manual
before use.

CAUTION
Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any of
portion of the hose coiled on the unit. Also check for kinks, or
obstructions that would restrict the flow of water. Failure to do so
may cause a water backup in the pump resulting in leakage.

HOW TO USE THE TOUCHPAD CONTROL KEYS
The Touchpad on DrizAir dehumidifiers has one display and four keys. The
normal display messages are:
ON-OFF. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the unit on or off. When
turning the machine on, usually the display reads CMPRSR
DELAY and performs a numeral count down from a maximum of
60 seconds to 0. The compressor delay gives the machine time to
warm up (when needed). If you don’t see a compressor delay
countdown, the machine is ready to go. Once the unit completes
the CMPRSR DELAY, the display reads DEHUMIDIFIER ON, and
continues to cycle between TOTAL HOURS, JOB HOURS and
DEHUMIDIFIER ON.
Press the ON-OFF key again to turn the unit off. The display will
read DEHUMIDIFIER OFF.
DISPLAY.Press the DISPLAY key to stop the display at DEHUMID-
IFER ON or OFF, TOTAL HOURS, or JOB HOURS as it cycles.
Press DISPLAY again to re-start the display cycle.
How to change the language display
Use the DISPLAY key to change the display language.
Follow these steps:
1. Start with the unit unplugged.
2. While holding down the DISPLAY key, plug the unit in.

press the DISPLAY key or the CLEAR key.
4. When the desired language is shown in the display,
unplug the unit, and the language is set.
CAUTION
While in the change-language mode, pressing other keys can
change the programming of the machine. Do NOT press other
keys you’re not instructed to press.
CLEAR. Press the CLEAR key to reset the JOB HOURS:
1. As the display cycles between DEHUMIDIFIER ON, JOB
HOURS, OR TOTAL HOURS, press the DISPLAY key
when JOB HOURS appears on the screen. That will
make the display read JOB HOURS steadily.
2. Then press the CLEAR key to re-set the numerals to
00000.
3. Press DISPLAY again to re-start the display cycle.
NOTE: the TOTAL HOURS reading cannot be re-set.

Uso y operación
INTRODUCCIÓN
Los deshumidificadores DrizAir reducen la humedad de ambientes estructurales cer-
rados al eliminar el vapor de agua del aire. Con un uso adecuado, los deshumidifi-
cadores DrizAir pueden ayudar a secar materiales mojados como alfombras, almo-
hadillas de alfombras, suelos, paredes, contenidos de edificios y más. El uso de los
deshumidificadores DrizAir también puede prevenir daños secundarios ocasionados
por el exceso de humedad.
Para obtener los mejores resultados, le recomendamos usar los deshumidificadores
DrizAir junto con los aspiradores de aire turbosecadores Dri-Eaz. Los aspiradores de
aire aceleran la evaporación elevando la humedad al aire.
CÓMO FUNCIONA EL DESHUMIDIFICADOR DRIZAIR
Los deshumidificadores refrigerantes DrizAir funcionan atrayendo el aire húmedo a
través de un núcleo evaporador muy frío. La humedad se condensa (se congela) en
la bobina. De vez en cuando, la unidad cambiará al modo de descongelación, calen-
tando la escarcha para convertirla otra vez en agua. El agua se acumula en una ban
-
deja y sale de la unidad a través de una manguera de secado o una bomba.
IMPORTANTE: Antes de mover la unidad, asegúrese de que no haya agua en la
bomba. Vea cómo usar la función PURGAR en la sección "Uso del controlador
sensible al tacto" en la página
ESTABLECER UNA ZONA DE SECADO
Use la unidad en un espacio cerrado
Debe operar los deshumidificadores DrizAir en un área cerrada para crear una
cámara de secado. Cierre todas las puertas, ventanas o áreas abiertas hacia el exte
-
rior para optimizar la eficiencia de la unidad en la eliminación de agua. También pro-
cure que haya el menor tráfico posible en la cámara de secado.
Ubicación del deshumidificador DrizAir
• Coloque el deshumidificador DrizAir al centro de una habitación lejos de las
paredes y de los contenidos
• Manténgalo alejado de cualquier cosa que pudiese evitar el flujo de aire desde y
hacia el interior de la unidad.
Utilice una conex-
ión de 115 voltios
de tres espigas con
tierra.
No lo use con un
adaptador.
