IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
AWARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or
personal inJury.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using this dehumidifier, always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
[] Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner's Manual.
[] This dehumidifier must be properly installed and
grounded as described in this manual before it is used.
[] Never operate this dehumidifier in an area that is likely
to accumulate standing water.
If this condition develops, for your safety disconnect the
power supply before stepping into the water.
[] Never unplug your dehumidifier by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from
the receptacle.
[] Replace immediately all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. A damaged power
supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply
cord obtained from the manufacturer and not repaired.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
[] If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle
must be changed out by a qualified electrician
[] Turn the dehumidifier OFF and unplug it before cleaning.
[] GE does not support any servicing of the dehumidifier.
We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to
service the dehumidifier yourself.
[] For your safety, do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
All dehumidifiers contain refrigerants, which under federal
law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are
getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, check with
the company handling disposal about what to do.
[] Do not use outdoors.
This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used
for commercial or industrial applications.
These R410A Dehumidifier Systems require contractors
and technicians to use tools, equipment and safety
standards approved for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT
use equipment certified for R22 refrigerant only.
HOW TOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded.
The dehumidifier should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet, which has a voltage rating
matching the rating plate.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

a, WARNING!
USEOF EXTENSION CORDS
RISK OFFIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.

Using the dehumidifier. GEApp,oncescom
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
How the Dehumidifier Operates Automatic Defrost
Moist, humid air isdrawn over a cold refrigerated dehumidifying
coil. Moisture inthe air condenses on this coil and drains into a
bucket (or through
a hoseand drain).
Dry,clean air is drawn through the condenser where it isheated
and discharged out the top grille into the room.
It is normal for the surrounding air to becomeslightly warmer asthe
dehumidifier operates.
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 isdefrosted, the compressor or fan will automatically
restart and dehumidifying will resume.
Choosing aLocation
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 ofthe area.
[] Do not use outdoors.
[] Thisdehumidifier isintendedfor indoor residential applications
only. Thisdehumidifier should not be usedfor commercial or
industrial applications.
[] Placethe dehumidifier on a smooth, levelfloor strong enough to
support the unit with a full bucketof water.
[] Allow at least22-28 inches of air spaceon all sidesof the unit for
good air circulation.
[] Placethe dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not
fall below/4! °F(5°C).Thecoilscan becomecovered with frostat
temperatures below/4! °F,which may reduceperformance.
[] Usethedehumidifier in cooking,laundry, bathing and dishwashing
areas that haveexcessivemoisture. NOTE:Placethe dehumidifier
away from theclothesdryer.
[] Usethedehumidifier toprevent moisture damage anywhere
booksor valuables are stored.
[] Usethedehumidifier in a basementto help prevent moisture
