Using the Dehumidifier
Choosing a Location
How the Dehumidifier Operates
Moist, humid air is drawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Moisture in the air condenses on this coil
and drains into a bucket (or through a hose and drain).
Dry, clean air is drawn through the condenser where it is
heated and discharged out the top grille into the room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to become slightly
warmer as the dehumidifier operates.
Automatic Defrost
When frost builds up on the evaporator coils, the
compressor will cycle off and the fan will continue to run
until the frost disappears.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no
effect in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as
a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and
out of the area.

(tierra) del cable eléctrico. En pos de la seguridad personal,
este electrodoméstico debe siempre conectarse a tierra.
1286(XQHQFKXIHDGDSWDGRUFRQHVWHDSDUDWR
El cable eléctrico de este electrodoméstico está equipado
con un enchufe de tres púas (tierra) que combina con
un tomacorriente estándar de tres tomas de pared para
minimizar la posibilidad de una descarga eléctrica.
Pida a un técnico que inspeccione el tomacorriente y el
circuito para cerciorarse de que el tomacorriente está
conectado a tierra de la manera apropiada.
Donde exista un tomacorriente de dos tomas, es su
responsabilidad y obligación personal hacer que dicho
tomacorriente sea reemplazado por uno de tres tomas con
conexión a tierra.
El deshumedificador debería siempre estar conectado
a un tomacorriente individual con su circuito de voltaje
correspondiente.
Esto proporciona el mayor rendimiento y además evita
que los circuitos del resto de la casa se sobrecarguen, lo
cual podría causar incendios por el sobrecalentamiento del
cableado.

manguera y luego través del drenaje).
El aire limpio y seco pasa luego por el condensador donde
es calentado y desechado de regreso al medio ambiente a
través de la parrilla.
Es normal que el aire en los alrededores se caliente un
poco conforme el deshumedificador funciona.
Descongelado automático
Cuando se acumule escarcha en los serpentines
evaporadores, el compresor se apagará, y el ventilador
continuará funcionando hasta que la escarcha
desaparezca.
Cuando el evaporador se descongele, el compresor o el
ventilador se encenderá automáticamente y el proceso de
deshumedificación continuará.
INSTRUCCIONES DE OPERACIÓN
Cuando se disponga a usar el deshumedificador por primera vez, permita que la unidad opere de manera
continua por 24 horas.
El deshumedificador ubicado en un sótano tendrá poco o
ningún efecto en secar el aire dentro areas adjacentes de
almacenamiento, como un armario, por ejemplo, al menos que
exista una circulación adecuada de aire hacia en interior y
hacia el exterior de dicha área.
