CAUTION: For proper air flow, locate the unit at least 1 foot from any wall or furniture.
2. Make sure the vents on the back of the product free of dirt and are not blocked.
3. Connect the power cord to the dehumidifier then plug the power cord into a 120V AC outlet.
IMPORTANT:
Your device is fitted with an interlock and will only work properly if the condensation
tank is inserted correctly.
TIP
