SETUP AND OPERATIONS
Positioning the Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifier in an en-
closed area. Close all doors and windows that open
to the outside to maximize water removal efficiency.
Place your dehumidifier away from any obstructions
that could block airflow into and out of the unit. Duct
reactivation outlet outdoors through window adapter
or dryer vent.
Plug in electrical cords
Always plug the cords firmly into the sockets in
the top compartment first, then into the wall out-
lets. Ensure that the cords are routed properly
through the cord cutout notch before closing the
storage compartment lid.
NOTICE: The power cords of the DriTec must be
plugged into separate GFCI-protected 120V outlets
rated for at least 15A.
NOTICE: Connect to two separate 15A circuits ON-
LY. A bright green light on the front of the unit indi-
cates correct connections. No light will show when
using only one cord or if both power cords are
plugged into the same power circuit.
If a second circuit is not available, the unit may
be operated on a single power cord. Plug into
Circuit 1. Note that the unit will operate at 50% of
the rated performance when using a single pow-
er cord.
Startup display and normal display modes
When unit is first plugged in, the control panel dis-
play will briefly cycle through a series of readouts.
This is part of the unit’s self-diagnosis procedure and
no user intervention is required.
NOTICE
Condensation may collect in the reactivation duct during opera-
tion. Do not allow water to run back into the unit. This could
cause a shock hazard or damage to the unit.
