• Install the dehumidifier on a level floor strong
enough to support the unit with a full bucket
of water.
• For best performance, allow at least 12-18
inches of air space on all sides of the unit for
good air circulation.
• Keep all outside doors, windows, and other
openings closed when operating the
dehumidifier. Humid outdoor air will add to the
unit's work load.
• Install your dehumidifier in an area where the
temperature will not fall below 65°F (18°C). At
temperatures below this, the coils can
become covered with frost.
NOTE" If frost occurs, the unit will cycle on
and off. This is normal. Unplug the unit (or turn
the unit off) until the frost melts and the room
temperature rises.
DEFROST CONTROL
When the defrost control senses frost build-up
on the evaporator coil, it will automatically shut
off the compressor. The fan will continue to run
to draw air across the coil and melt the frost.
When the coil is defrosted, the compressor will
automatically restart and dehumidifying
resume.

hose connection which can be
left open. Drill a 1/4" (6.4ram)
to 1/2"(13mm) hole in the
center of the hose connection.
Once opened, the hose
connection will continually
drain water from the bucket.
Attach a garden hose to the
threaded bucket drain hose
connection to carry water to
the drain. (HANDTIGHTENONLY)
When being attached to the
bucket drain hose connection,
be sure the hose doesn't kink
or bend. It should lie fiat from

GRILLE AND CASE
To clean the case: Use water and a mild
detergent. Do not use bleach or an abrasive
cleaner.
To clean the grille: Use a vacuum with an
attachment or brush.
AIR FILTER
The air filter is on the back of the dehumidifier.
It should be checked and cleaned at least
every 30 days or more often if necessary.

Flex the filter at the lower right corner and slide
the upper right side to the left. Release all of
the tabs and remove the filter. Wash it in warm
soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before
replacing it.
CLEANING INSIDE THE UNIT
After removing the air filter, clean the coil on
the inside with a soft brush to remove any soft
and wet soil.
NOTE: Do not allow water to enter the
electrical/machine compartment through the
circular opening behind the coil.
Do not spray the coil with a hose.
GENERAL CLEANING
•Dust the front grille and the side panels with a
soft brush or use the dusting attachment of
your vacuum.
• If cabinet paint chips, you can touch up the
paint with a good grade enamel to prevent rust.
