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
Using the Dehumidifier
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.
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.

Using the Dehumidifier
Removing Collected Water
Always make sure the water bucket is locked into place on the dehumidifier.
Water Level
The dehumidifier will turn off automatically when the
bucket is full, or when the bucket is removed or not
replaced in the proper position.
The bucket must be replaced in the proper position for
the dehumidifier to work. The empty indiator will blink
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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
There are 2 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.
849-5000629 Rev.0
Air Filter
The air filter behind the rear grille should be checked and
cleaned at least every 250 hours of operation or more
often if necessary.
After 250 hours of operation, the Filter indicator light will
glow to remind you to clean the filter. Remove the filter
and clean it. Replace the filter and press and hold the
filter button for 3 seconds.
To remove:
Remove the rear grille and the filter will be attached.
To clean:
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the
filter dry before replacing it.
NOTE: DO NOT put the filter in an automatic
dishwasher.
CAUTION DO NOT operate the dehumidifier
without a filter because dirt and lint will clog the unit and
reduce performance.
Grille and Case
To clean the case:
Use water and a mild detergent. Do not use
bleach or abrasives.
To clean the rear grille:
Use a vacuum attachment or brush.
Water Bucket
To clean:
Every few weeks, clean the bucket to prevent growth
of mold, mildew and bacteria. Partially fill the bucket
with clean water and add a little mild detergent. Swish it
around in the bucket, empty and rinse.
NOTE: Do not use a dishwasher to clean the water
bucket.
To remove:
Remove the bucket and pour out any water.
To replace:
Slide the bucket into the dehumidifier.

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Dehumidifier does not
start The dehumidifier is unplugged. Makes sure the dehumidifier’s plug is pushed
completely into the outlet.
The fuse is blown/circuit breaker
is tripped. Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker.
Dehumidifier has reached its set
humidity level or bucket is full. The dehumidifier automatically turns off when either
condition occurs. Change to a lower setting or empty
the bucket and replace properly.
Bucket is not in the proper
position. The bucket must be in place and securely seated for
the dehumidifier to operate.
Power Failure. There is a protective time delay (up to 3 minutes) to
prevent tripping of the compressor overload. For this
reason, the unit may not start normal dehumidification
for 3 minutes after it turned back on.
Dehumidifier does not dry
the air as it should Did not allow enough time to
remove the moisture. When first installed, allow at least 24 hours to maintain
the desired dryness.
Airflow is restricted. Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the top or back of the dehumidifier. See the
Choosing a Location section.
Dirty Filter See the Care and Cleaning section.
The Humidity Control may not be
set low enough. For drier air, press the źpad and set to a lower
percent value (%) or at the Nonstop setting for
maximum dehumidification.
Doors and windows may not be
closed tightly. Check that all doors, windows and other openings are
securely closed.
Clothes dryer may be blowing
moisure-laden air into the room. Install the dehumidifier away from the dyer. The dryer
should be vented to the outside.
Room temperature is too low. Moisture removal is best at higher room temperatures.
Lower room temperatures will reduce the moisture
removal rate. Models are designed to be operated at
temperatures above 41°F (5°C).
Dehumidifier runs too
much Area to be dehumidified is too
large. The capacity of your dehumidifier may not be
adequate.
Doors and windows are open. Close all doors and windows to the outside.
Frost appears on the coils Room temperature is below 41°F
(5°C) Please operate unit at temperatures above 41 F (5 C).
Frost will usually disappear within 60 minutes. Under
certain conditions, frost may appear on the coils of
your dehumidifier at temperatures above 41°F (5°C).
This is normal and frost will usually disappear within 60
minutes. See the Automatic Defrost section.
Fan noise Air is moving through the
dehumidifier. This is normal.
Water on floor Hose connection may be loose. Check the hose connection. See the Removing
Collected Water section.
Intended to use the bucket to
collect water, but a hose was
attached.
Disconnect the hose if using a bucket to collect water.
See the Removing Collected Water section.
Bucket Full LED light
flashing and alarm sounds

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.
