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
[] 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
precautions, including the following:
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.
[] Turn the dehumidifier OFFand unplug it
before cleaning.
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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 usean 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 isyour 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.

How the Behumidifier Operates Automatic Defrost
Hoist, humid air isdrawn over a cold refrigerated
dehumidifying coil. Hoisture in the air condenseson
this coil and drains into a bucket (orthrough
a hoseand drain).
Dry,clean air is drawn through the condenser where
it is heated and discharged out the top grille into the
room.
It is normalforthesurroundingair tobecomeslightly
warmerasthe dehumidifieroperates.
When frost buildsup on the evaporator coils,the
compressor will cycleoff 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 asa closet, unlessthere isadequate
circulation of air in and out of the area.
