INTRODUCTION
Dehumidifiers reduce humidity in enclosed structural
environments by removing water vapor from the air. With
WARNING

proper use, the 1200EB can help dry carpet, carpet
pad, floors, walls, building contents and more. Using
dehumidifiers can also help prevent secondary
damage caused by high humidity. For best results, use
the 1200EB with Dri-Eaz TurboDryer® airmovers
placed around the perimeter of the room to distribute
heat energy and release moisture from wet surfaces
into the air.
How the 1200EB dehumidifier works
Dri-Eaz refrigerant dehumidifiers operate by pulling
moist air in across a very cold evaporator coil. The
moisture in the air condenses on the coil. In certain
conditions, the machine operates in defrost mode,
warming any frost accumulated on the evaporator coil
back into water. The water collects in a tray and is
pumped out through a hose.
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 control panel”
on page 2.
POSITIONING A DEHUMIDIFIER
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an
enclosed area, as this creates a drying chamber. Close
all doors and windows that open to the outside to
maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Also, keep
traffic though the drying chamber to a minimum. Place
your 1200EB dehumidifier against a wall, away from
obstructions, and keep it away from anything that could
block airflow into and out of the unit.
Managing temperature rise
DrizAir dehumidifiers warm the air as they remove
moisture. Optimal drying temperatures range from
68°F−85°F (20°C−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 is 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 (heating
andair conditioning) system to bring the temperature
down. Just set it to 80°F (27°C), and continue to operate
the dehumidifier. If there is no HVAC system,
contactLegend Brands Europe for assistance.
For more information about creating an optimum drying
environment, contact Legend Brands Europe.
OPERATING YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Set unit upright
Always operate the dehumidifier in an upright position. If
the unit has been stored or transported in a horizontal
position, set it upright (vertical) for at least 30 minutes
before operating it. When the unit is placed in a
horizontal position, oil from the compressor flows into the
refrigerant coils reducing the ability of the dehumidifier to
function.
Set up drain hose
The 1200EB condensate pump connects to a plastic
drainage hose that is wrapped around the air outlet
located at the back of the unit. This hose is equipped
with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the
provided 40 ft. drain hose. Unwrap the entire hose and
place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or
outside – anywhere that water can drain out safely. If
you use a bucket or other receptacle for water collection,
check it regularly to prevent spills.
NOTE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose.
Do not leave any of part of the hose coiled on the
unit and do not place the end of the hose higher
than 20 ft. (6 m) above the top of 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.
Plug in electrical cord
Locate the electrical cord either on the top or back of the
unit. The 1200EB dehumidifier may be plugged in to a
Control panel.

230-volt (15 amp) grounded outlet, which is standard in
most homes.
If the unit experiences a loss of power, either from a
power interruption or from thermal overload protection,
let the unit rest for five minutes before restarting.
Otherwise it might shut off again.
Turn the unit on
Press the “on” button on the control panel.
How to use the control panel
The control panel on DrizAir dehumidifiers has one
display and four keys. The normal display messages are
DEHUMIDIFIER OFF CMPRSR DELAY
DEHUMIDIFIER ON PUMP PURGING
TOTAL HRS DEFROST ON
JOB HRS GET SERVICE ERXX
When the unit is first connected to AC power, the control
panel display will cycle continuously through three
messages: DEHUMIDIFER OFF, TOTAL HOURS, and
JOB HOURS.
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 DEHUMIDIFER 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
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.
Use the DISPLAY key to change the display language.
Follow these steps:
1. Unplug the unit.
2. While holding down the DISPLAY key, plug the unit in.
The display reads ENGLISH.
3. To change to FRANCAIS, DEUTSCH, or ESPANOL,
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.
CLEAR. Press the CLEAR key to reset the JOB
HOURS
1. As the display cycles between DEHUMIDIFIER ON,
JOB HOURS, and 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.
PURGE. Press the PURGE key to empty water
from the pump reservoir. During normal operation, the
pump purges automatically every six minutes, or
whenever the reservoir is full. The display will read
PUMP PURGING with a numeral countdown. To purge
the pump manually:
1. Turn the power off using the OFF key, and let the unit
sit plugged in for about 10 minutes. This allows water to
drip from the coils and collect in the drip pan.
2. Press PURGE to remove residual water.
Defrost mode
During normal operation, the temperature sensor detects
frost forming on the coils, causing a defrost cycle to
start. The display will read DEFROST ON.
Dehumidification stops during the defrost cycle. When
the unit completes the cycle, the display returns to
DEHUMIDIFIER ON.

At the end of the job
As with all dehumidifiers, once the drying job is
completed, it is important to make sure the unit is
completely purged of water before moving it. To ensure
that all water has drained into the pump, turn the
unit off, allow it to rest for 10 minutes, then press the
PURGE button. (The unit must be plugged in for the
purge to operate.) Once the purge cycle is complete,
unplug the unit and remove it promptly from the job.
