■Operation

ENGLISH
Owner’s Manual 7
Prior to Operation
Prior to Operation
1. Consult an installation specialist for installation.
2. Plug in the power plug properly.
3. Use a dedicated circuit.
4. Do not use an extension cord.
5. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.
6. If the cord/plug is damaged, only replace it with an authorized replacement part.
1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your
health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct airflow for extended periods of time.
2. Ventilate the room when the dehumidifier is used with other heating devices. Otherwise the
oxygen supply may be inadequate.
3. Do not use this dehumidifier for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision
devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage could damage the items.
1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when
handling sharp metal edges.
2. Do not use water to clean inside the dehumidifier. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation,
leading to possible electric shock.
3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. The fan
rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a possibility of injury if the unit’s power
is accidently turned on while the interior of the unit is being cleaned.
For repair and maintenance, contact your authorized service dealer.

Electrical Safety
Electrical Safety
WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug.
To minimize the risk of electric shock, use the plug with a standard three-slot
grounding wall power outlet. If the power outlet does not include a grounding slot,
have a qualified electrician replace the outlet before you use the dehumidifier.
WARNING: Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the
power plug.
WARNING: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring.
WARNING: If you have any doubt whether the dehumidifier is
properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician.
Preferred method
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

10 Dehumidifier
Electrical Safety
Temporary Use of an Adapter
We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards.
For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most local
hardware stores. To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on
each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power
cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.
WARNING: Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.
We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety
hazards.

to support the weight of the dehumidifier with a full bucket. Do not sit or stand
on the dehumidifier.
Secure wheels with blocks to prevent unit from falling when installed on a
table or shelf.
The height of a table or shelf might provide a better position from
which to handle the bucket and help prevent icing of the coils due to
colder air near the floor (such as in a basement.)
3.Lift the bucket and place it in the dehumidifier, making sure the slots on
the bottom side of the bucket are positioned correctly.
4.Rollers let you move the dehumidifier easily.
