The Rh (relative humidity) level can be
set within a range of 35-85% RH in 5%
increments. For drier air, lower the % RH
set point by pressing the key pad. For
damper air, raise the % RH set point by
pressing the key pad. When the % RH
set point is between 35-85% RH the unit
will operate the compressor and fan
together when the room’s % RH level is
5% higher than the % RH set point, until
the set % RH is achieved in the room.
Once the room’s % RH level becomes
less than the % RH set point, the
compressor will turn off and the fan will
run for another 3 minutes before turning
off. This cycle will continue in order to
maintain the humidity level of air in
relation to the % RH set point.
To run the unit in continuous mode,
press the key pad until the display
reads 35% RH. Then press the key pad
again until the display reads “CO” for
continuous operation. The continuous
operation indicator light will turn on. This
allows the compressor and fan to run
continuously at all times to constantly
dehumidify the room. To stop continuous
operation, press the key pad and set
the desired % RH set point level to
resume nominal operation.

removed or is not positioned properly, the unit will shut
off automatically. Also, ‘P2’ will be on the display and/or
the bucket full indicator light will be on to inform the user
that the bucket is full, is removed from the unit, or is not
positioned correctly inside the unit.
2. The compressor also has a auto shut off feature, which
is activated when the set relative humidity level is ob
-
tained. The compressor also has a 3 minute time delay
before it turns on, in order to protect itself when being
turned back on after being shut off or because of power
failure to the unit.

When removing the dehumidifier from its
packaging, you will find tape pasted on several
places of the unit (see Fig. 4b). It is for transpor-
tation purposes only, just remove tape before
using the unit.
Keep unit away from heat sources, such as clothes dryer,
heater or radiator.
Use the unit to prevent moisture damage anywhere books or
valuables are stored.
Use the dehumidifier in a basement to help prevent moisture
damage. NOTE: A dehumidifier operating in a basement will
have little or no effect in drying and adjacent enclosed storage
area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of
air in and out of those additional areas.
The dehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be
most effective.
Close all doors, windows and other outside openings to the
room.

The unit will re-start when the bucket is restored
2. Hold both sides of the bucket
securely and pull it out from
the unit.
2. Continuous draining
Water can be automatically emptied into a oor drain by
attaching a standard garden water hose (o 0.5 in./
o 12mm, not included).
• Remove the water bucket from the front of the
unit, you will nd a section of hose located above
the bucket. Also, locate the tting and (2) screws
included, either inside the bucket and/or within the
Styrofoam base packing material.
• Remove the rubber plug from the back of the unit
and store it in a safe location (see Fig. 8).
• Insert the water hose through the hole in the back
of the unit and securely press it onto the connec-
tor on the front of the unit (Fig. 9). Next attach the
opposite end of the hose to the tting. Attach the
tting with (2) screws provided to the back of the
unit. Then lead the water hose to the oor drain or a
suitable drainage location.
• Replace the bucket in the unit. The bucket must be
in place and securely seated.
NOTE: When the continuous drain feature is not being used, remove the
drain hose from the connector as well as the tting and screws. Then at-
tach the rubber plug back over the drain hole as shown in Fig. 8.
