with this Dehumidifier.
HOW TO CONNECT 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.
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.
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.
The dehumidifier should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet, which has a voltage rating
matching the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

649-5000628 Rev.0
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.
When first using the dehumidifier, operate the unit continuously for 24 hours.
Choosing a Location
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.
• Do not use outdoors.
• This dehumidifier is intended for indoor residential
applications only. This dehumidifier should not be used
for commercial or industrial applications.
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth, level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 18 inches of air space on all sides of the
unit for good air circulation.
• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 41°F (5°C) or above
90°F (32°C). The coils can become covered with
frost at temperatures below 41°F, which may reduce
performance.
• The suggested range of relative humidity is between
40% and 50%
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry and
dishwashing areas that have excessive moisture.
NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from the clothes
dryer.
• Use the dehumidifier to prevent moisture damage
anywhere books or valuables are stored.
• Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent
moisture damage.
• The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed
area to be most effective.
• Close all doors, windows and other outside openings
to the room.
NOTE: The dehumidifier has casters to aid placement,
but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do
not attempt to roll the dehumidifier on carpet or over
objects.

Removing Collected Water
There are 3 ways to remove collected water:
Use the bucket. When the bucket is removed, the unit will
shut off. Empty and replace the bucket.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the hose if using the bucket to
collect water. When the hose is connected, water will flow
through it onto the floor instead of into the bucket.
NOTES:
• Do not remove the bucket while the dehumidifier is
operating or if it has just stopped operating. This might
cause some water to drip from the drain pan.
• The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the
dehumidifier to operate.
Use a hose. Water can be automatically emptied into a floor
drain by attaching a garden water hose (not included).
1. Remove the bucket from the front of the unit.
2. Open the drain cover on the side of the unit.
3. Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the nozzle and
ensure it is seated securely. Cut to length and lead it to
the floor drain.
4. Replace the bucket in the unit.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely seated for
the dehumidifier to operate. The drain hose must run down
from the dehumidifier to the floor drain.
Use the internal pump. Water can be automatically
emptied into a remote location by attaching the included
pump hose.
1. Attach the pump hose to the hose connector by pushing
the tube fitting into the connector until it fits into place
(should not be able to remove the hose when pulled).
2. Position the hose discharge to the desired location.
3. Make sure the pump is activated. To activate the pump,
press and hold the Pump button for 3 seconds. The
Pump indicator light will flash then remain illuminated
once the 3 seconds are complete.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the condensate hose is properly
connected and is not kinked, bent or cracked as this may
cause water to flow onto the floor. Please ensure the bucket
is empty before putting the unit into pump mode. The bucket
must also be fully seated for the pump to work properly. Do
not operate the machine if the room temperature is 41°F or
below.
NOTE: Maximum lift height is 16ft.
Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on the dehumidifier.

the dehumidifier to work. The light will be on and the
dehumidifier will not run if the bucket is not in the proper
position.
Bucket Operation
DO NOT remove the foam piece and magnet block in
the bucket assembly. If removed, the Dehumidifier will
not work properly.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor or fan will
automatically restart and dehumidifying will resume.
Removing Collected Water (cont)
To Install Hose: Push in hose and gently pull to make
sure it is secure. Should not be able to be removed. You
should hear a “click” that lets you know the hose is inserted
correctly.
To Release Hose: Press the blue button on top of the
connector attached to the dehumidifier and pull the hose out
to remove. Be sure to turn off the pump before removing the
hose.

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.
