Safety Notes
l The!IW-25-4!Dehumidifier'must'always'be'connected'using'a'grounded'electrical'connection'as'
required'for'all'electrical'appliances.'The'warranty'is'voided'and'all'responsibility'for'the'operation'is'
born'by'the'owner'if'non-grounded'wiring'is'utilized.'
l The'IW-25-4'Dehumidifier'must'only'be'installed,'maintained'and'serviced'by'a'qualified'technician.''
Follow'all'state'and'local'plumbing'and'electric'codes.'
l The!IW-25-4!Dehumidifier'is'intended'only'for'operation'when'the'unit'is'wall'mounted'or'in'wall'and'
level.'Any'other'orientation'could'cause'water'to'contact'electrical'components.' ' ' '
l If'any'water'may'have'spread'throughout'the'unit,'the'unit'should'be'opened'and'allowed'to'dry'
thoroughly'before'reconnecting'to'electric'and'restarting.'
l For'proper'operation,'no'obstruction'should'be'located'within'36”'of'the'discharge'of'the'unit' ' '
l Do'not'insert'any'objects'or'fingers'into'the'inlet'or'discharge.'If'service'is'required,'call'a'qualified'
technician.'All'work'on'unit'should'be'done'with'the'unit'“off”'and'unplugged'or'the'breaker'turned'
“off.”'
l Do'not'use'water'to'clean'the'unit'exterior.'Only'use'a'damp'cloth'to'clean'the'exterior'and'always'
unplug'or'disconnect'the'power'of'unit'first.'

Power'Supply:'120'V,'60'Hz'AC,'Single'Phase''
Outlet'Requirement:'3-Prong,'GFCI'
Circuit'Protector:'15'Amp'Time'Delay'Fuse'or'Circuit'Breaker'
WARNING:' ' 120'Volts'AC'may'cause'serious'injury'from'electric'shock.'
To'ensure'safety:'
1. Disconnect'electrical'power'before'servicing'
2. Only'plug'unit'into'grounded'electrical'circuit'
3. Do'not'use'extension'cord'
4. Do'not'use'plug'adapter'
!
Principle!of!Operation!
The'IW-25-4'Dehumidifier'utilizes'its'integral'humidistat'to'monitor'the'conditioned'space.'When'the'
relative'humidity'goes'above'the'selected'set'point,'the'dehumidifier'will'energize.'Air'is'drawn'across'an'
evaporator'coil,'which'is'cooler'than'the'dew'point'of'air.'This'means'moisture'will'condense'out'of'the'
air.'The'air'is'then'reheated'through'the'condenser'coil'and'distributed'back'into'the'room.' '
