maintain a healthy level of humidity. Using the Cube may
also prevent secondary damage caused by high humid-
ity.
How the Cube works
The Cube refrigerant dehumidifier uses a fan to draw
moist air in and condenses it into water that collects in a
tray and is automatically pumped out through a drain
hose. The unit can be set to operate continuously or the
user may select Humidistat Mode. In Humidistat Mode,
the Cube will turn on and off automatically to maintain
the inlet humidity level the user has selected.
CONTROLS AND OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS
Set unit upright
NOTICE: Always store, transport, and use the unit in
a horizontal position. If the unit is ever placed in a
vertical position, return it to the horizontal position
and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning
it on.
Positioning a Dehumidifier
For best results, operate your dehumidifiers 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 obstructions, and keep it
away from anything that could block airflow into and out
of the unit. For more information about creating an opti-
mum drying environment, contact Dri-Eaz at
800-932-3030.
Set up drain hose
The Cube condensate pump connects to a plastic drain-
age hose. This hose is equipped with a quick-connect fit-
ting for quick attachment to the provided 20 ft. (6 m)
drain hose. Unwrap the entire hose and place the unat-
tached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors –any-
where that water can drain out safely. If you use a
bucket or other container for water collection, check it
regularly to prevent overflows.
NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do
not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place
the end of the hose higher than 20 ft. (6 m) above the
bottom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstruc-
tions that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions
may cause a water backup and result in overflows.
Plug in electrical cord
The Cube should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 115
volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps.
Startup display and normal display modes
When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control
panel display will briefly cycle through a series of
readouts. This is part of the unit’s self-diagnosis proce-
dure and no user intervention is required.
Turn the unit on
The control panel on the Cube dehumidifier has a dis-
play and a touchpad with four keys. Press the
ON/OFF to turn the unit on. The unit will now go
through a compressor delay countdown (up to sixty sec-
onds in duration) and a self-diagnostics process.
Once the compressor delay countdown and self-diag-
nostics are complete, the display will switch to normal
display mode.
UNIT ON 00 HRS
INLET 00°C / INLET 00%
The first line of the display shows the total number of
