RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY LEVELS ACCORDING TO ENERGY STAR

•Fall/Winter: 30% - 40%
EMPTYING THE BUCKET
The more moisture your dehumidifier removes from the air, the more often you may have to empty the bucket
(unless you are using the continuous drainage option). The number of times the bucket will be emptied
depends on the dehumidifier model.
LESS MOISTURE BEING REMOVED OVER TIME
Using a dehumidifier will cause your area to maintain a more comfortable humidity level. Over time, this
humidity level will become more and more stable. Due to the stable humidity level in the area, the
dehumidifier will need to remove less and less moisture over time.
Please do not be concerned if the dehumidifier is removing less moisture from the air or the bucket is taking
longer to fill up. This is a direct result of your dehumidifier creating a more stable humidity level in your area.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) When first operating the dehumidifier, run it in Continuous mode for 24 hours.
2) Power On and Off - Press the POWER button once to manually turn the unit on. Press the POWER
button once more to turn the unit off.
3) Humidity Selection - Press the “+”or “-”buttons to choose the desired relative humidity in the room.
Each press of the button will change the desired room humidity by 5%. The room humidity is selectable
from 35%-80% or continuous. The unit will cycle on and off to maintain the humidity level chosen on the
digital display. If you want the dehumidifier to operate continuously regardless of the room humidity, press
the (-) buttons until you see “CO” on the digital display. This will enable continuous operation and the
“Continue” indicator will light up on the control panel.
4) Fan Speed Control - Press the FAN SPEED Button to cycle through the different fan speeds: High,
Medium, and low. The fan speed can be visually distinguished by the fan speed indicators on the control
panel.
5) Timer - To program the unit to automatically turn off, press the TIMER button when the unit is on. You
can select either 2 or 4 hours with the Timer. Once the desired time (2 or 4 hours) is over, the unit will
automatically shut down.
6) Bucket Full - When the water bucket is full of water, the unit will automatically shut off , make a beeping
noise, and the Bucket Full Indicator will light up. The dehumidifier will not function until the water
bucket is emptied and placed back inside the unit. The bucket should be cleaned every few weeks to pre-
vent the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. Use a mild detergent to clean the bucket. Once clean, com-
pletely dry the bucket and place it back inside the dehumidifier.
NOTE: When the bucket is full or removed from the machine, the compressor will turn off, but
the fan will continue to run for a few minutes. This is completely normal. The dehumidifier
will not be removing moisture from the air at this time.
NOTE: When removing moisture from the air, the dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the
side exhaust vent.

To program the unit to automatically turn on, connect the power cord without turning on the unit and press
TIMER button to select either 2 or 4 hours. Once the desired time (2 or 4 hours) is over, the unit will
automatically turn on.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST
CONTINUOUS DRAINAGE HOSE
A Dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little no effect in drying out an adja-
cent 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 unit
should not be used for commercial or industrial applications
• Place the dehumidifier on a smooth , level floor surface that is strong enough to
support the unit with a full bucket of water.
• Allow at least 12”-18” of air flow on all sides and at least 40” for the exhaust side.
• Place the dehumidifier in an area where the temperature will not fall below 41°F.
The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 41°F, which may
reduce performance
• Use the dehumidifier in cooking, laundry, bathing and dishwashing areas that have
excessive moisture. NOTE: Place the dehumidifier away from a 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.
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 coils is completely defrosted, the compressor or fan (depending on the model) will automatically restart and
dehumidification will resume.
Water can be automatically emptied by attaching a hose to the continuous drainage port on the side of the dehumidifier. This will
allow the unit to run continuously (depending on the selected humidity level) without having to empty the water bucket. To drain,
simply attach a standard garden hose (not included).
• Remove the bucket from the front of the unit.
• Open the drain cover on the side of the dehumidifier.
• Thread a garden hose (not supplied) onto the nozzle, cut to length and lead to the floor drain.
• Replace the bucket in the dehumidifier.
NOTE: The bucket must be in place and securely seated for the dehumidifier to operate.
