wet.
2. To guard against electric shock while operating, do not allow dehumidifier to come in contact
with other grounded objects such as pipes, radiators, etc.
3. Do not use this unit next to a source of heat such as a radiator, dryer, etc., an area where oil
or water is likely to splash, an area directly exposed to sunlight, near a bath, shower or swim-
ming pool, or in a greenhouse.
4. Always store the unit upright in order to maintain the compressor in a proper working condition.

Residential
Dehumidifier

Installation
1. Be sure dehumidifier is on level ground which is
strong enough to support the unit with a full bucket
of water.
2. Allow at least 15-18 inches of space on all sides
of the unit to allow adequate air circulation.
3. When operating your dehumidifier, keep all out-
side doors, windows and other openings closed.
Additional humidity from outdoors will increase the
workload of your unit.
4. At room temperatures (floor level) below 65
degrees F, the evaporator coils will start to frost
over. This unit is fitted with an auto defrosting
operation and starts when the evaporator gener-
ates frost. This function ensures continuous run-
ning when the temperature is down to 40° F (5°
C).
It is recommended that you install your dehumid-
ifier in an area where the room temperature will
not fall below 40 degrees F. This unit was
designed to work in an environment between 40°
F and 90° F.
Operation
Turning the unit ON or OFF:
1. Plug in the power cord into an approved outlet.
The computer system of this unit will go through a
self-check. When normal, the Power Indicator will
slowly flash.
2. Press the Power Button. The Power Indicator will
stay on, and your unit will start operating under
dehumidifying mode with the factory setting of
60% relative humidity (RH). Pressing the
Humidity + or - Button will change the humidity
setting (see Figure 3 on Page 4).
3. Pressing the Continue Button will put the unit into
continuous dehumidifying mode; at this point the
Humidity + or - Button will become inactive.
4. To turn off unit, simply press the Power Button.
The Power Indicator will then not be lit. You do
not need to unplug the unit unless the unit will not
be in use for a long time.
The Water Tank:
1. Water will drain into the Water Tank (shown in
Figure 2). When the tank is full and the unit stops
operating, the Full Indicator will flash (see Figure
3).
2. Do not remove the water tank while the unit is
running. This will cause water to spill. If Full
Indicator is not lit but you want to empty the water
tank, Press the Power Button and wait a moment
for the water to finish draining before removing the
tank.
To remove Water Tank (see Figure 5 on page 7):
1. Grip both sides of the Water Tank and slide out
straight to avoid spilling water. Do not set down on
ground, as the bottom of the Water Tank is not
even!
2. Use the handle to carry Water Tank and to empty.
3. To replace, slide Water Tank gently all the way
into unit.

For Continuous Drainage:
If a drain is located nearby, a 1/2” ID hose (sold
separately) can be connected to the unit for continu-
ous draining.
1. On the rear on the unit, carefully remove the rub-
ber plug from the drain hole (see Figure 2 on
page 3) and slide the drain hose into the drain
hole.
2. Remove the Water Tank then connect the water
hose to the connector located above the water
tank to the left.
3. Be sure the hose has no bends or kinks.
4. Place the other end of the hose into a suitable
drainage facility, and replace Water Tank.
NOTE: The drain is not pressured; it is gravity assist-
ed. Please be sure to note that the end of the hose
in the draining facility MUST be below the connector
in the unit. Any inclination of the drain hose will
cause the drain hose to back up to the unit and
cause a leak!
