Installation
1. Place dehumidifier on a level surface.
2. Set up the drain line
• Remove the compression nut and slide it over the end of the hose to be attached to unit.
• Slide the side of hose with compression nut over the insert on the compression fitting
completely.
• Tighten compression nut.
3. Plug dehumidifier into grounded 15 amp circuit.
• Do not place unit directly on vapor barrier. For example, use blocks or pavers to create a
level surface.
• If unit has been turned or flipped so that the compressor did not remain upright, place the
unit on a level surface and wait a minimum of 2 hours before proceeding.

How It Works
Installation Requirements
·The area where the dehumidifier is located should be sealed with a vapor barrier.
• If the unit is installed in a crawl space, all vents should be sealed.
• For proper ventilation, neither the inlet or discharge should be positioned against a wall.
The inlet needs a minimum of 12” clearance and the discharge requires a minimum of 36”
clearance.
• For the best air diffusion, install the unit so that a side panel faces the wall.
• Alorair dehumidifiers are only intended for operation when the unit is upright and level
with the feet on the ground.
AlorAir dehumidifiers use an integrated humidistat to monitor theconditioned space. When
the relative humidity goes above the selected setpoint, the dehumidifier will energize. Air is
then 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.

Remote Control Instructions
AlorAir Dehumidifiers can be controlled using an optional remote accessory. The remote
connects to your dehumidifier via a 25’ CAT 5 cable, with the integrated sensor giving you
multiple options for monitoring surrounding conditions.
Example #1- Install the dehumidifier in the laundry room and duct it into the living room.
Mount the remote in the living room and use the remote sensor.
Example #2- Install the dehumidifier in your crawl space with the remote mounted in your
garage.
NOTE: The symbols indicated below only show when the remote is powered on.
1. On/O ff(Power) Button
Press the on/o ffbutton and themachine will
start running (twobeeps). Press the button
againto turn the machine off.
2. Up Button/ Down Button
Use the up and down arrows toadjust the
humidity level.
3. Mode
Use the mode button to switch between
dehumidifier and a ducted application.
• The symbol on the display
indicates the sensor on the remote control is
being utilized.
• The symbol on the display indicates the sensor on the dehumidifier is being
utilized.
4. Temperature
Press the temperature button to display the current temperature on the screen
5. Continuous
Press this button to switch the unit into continuous mode. “CONT.” will appear on the display
screen.
6. Drain Pump
Use this button if the unit will not be used for an extended period of time.
This button will remove water from the pump reservoir.

·The continuous light will illuminate green and the display will show “CO”.
·To switch back to normal humidistat operation, use the arrow keys to
move the setpoint above 36%.
4. Manual Drain Button
·If you need to store or move your dehumidifier, press the “Drain” button to remove water
from the integral pump’s reservoir.
Indicator Lights
1. Humidity Display Screen
·The display screen has two functions:
1. When the unit is powered on, it shows the humidity of the space
2. When setting the desired humidity level, the screen will show the set point.
After a brief delay, it will revert to current humidity of the space.
2. Power Indicator Light
·This light indicates that the unit is properly powered on and ready to operate.
·Always make sure the unit is “off” prior to performing any service, unless otherwise indicated.
·If the humidity is above the setpoint, the light will be solid green and the machine will
operate.
·If the humidity is below the setpoint, the unit will be in standby mode and the light will be
flashing.
3. Continuous Mode/ Auto Defrost Light
·When the light illuminates green, it indicates that the dehumidifier is set to continuous
operation mode.
• When the light illuminates red, it means the unit is in auto defrost mode and clearing the
evaporator coils of any ice buildup.
4. Compressor Light
·When the light illuminates red, it indicates the compressor has been initiated but is currently
warming up.
• Once the light switches to green, it means the compressor is currently in working status.

4. Water Drainage
• Press the power button again and the dehumidifier will stop. Note that the fan will
continue to operate for 1 minute after the unit has shut off.
·The AlorAir Refine CS120P has an integrated condensate pump. During normal operation,
the HDi120 will automatically drain as required.
·If you would like to store or move your unit, press the drain button to drain water from
the pump reservoir. The drain will operate for 15 seconds each time the button is
pushed. It may be necessary to push the button more than once.

Basic Pump Cleaning
Complete about once per year, depending on environment
1. Remove filter(s) from inlet of unit to access drain tray. Press thedrain button to drain the
reservoir.
2. Disconnect power to the dehumidifier.
3. Mix a 16 ounce solution of bleach (1 oz bleach + 15 oz water) ORvinegar (4 oz white
vinegar + 12 oz water).
4. Pour the cleaning solution into the drain tray at the base of the coils.
If any cleaning solution gets on the coils, flush with water.
5. Allow solution to soak for 15 minutes.
6. Reconnect the dehumidifier to power.
7. Fill the reservoir with water (16-32 ounces) and flush/cycle the pump at least 2x.
8. If the drain line is still filled with debris, repeat process. If drain line still does not appear
clean, move on to Advanced Cleaning.
Advanced Pump Cleaning
Complete as needed
1. Press the drain button to drain the water from the reservoir (a wet-dryvacuum or towels
can be used to remove any remaining water).
2. Unplug the dehumidifier and remove the cover so you have accessto the pump.
3. Remove the pump head from the reservoir by unscrewing the screw.
Wipe reservoir clean with a paper towel.
4. Reassemble pump.
5. Mix a 16 ounce solution of bleach (1 oz bleach + 15 oz water) ORvinegar (4 oz white
vinegar + 12 oz water).
6. Pour the cleaning solution into the drain tray at the base of the coils.
If any cleaning solution gets on the coils, flush with water.
7. Allow solution to soak for 15 minutes.
8. Reconnect the dehumidifier to power.
9. Fill the reservoir with water (16-32 ounces) and flush/cycle the pumpat least 2x.
Removing the Pump
1. Remove the 9 screws on the side panel and set
panel aside.
2. Remove the screw holding the pump in place.
3. Undo the 3 pump electrical quick connects and 1
drain quick connect.
4. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the notch on the
side of the pump. This will allow you to
gently lift the pump o ffits reservoir (the reservoir
remains attached to the unit).

Cleaning the Filter
1. Unplug the unit.
2. For PreFilter:
a. Remove prefilter from inlet of machine.
b. Vacuum or wash with warm water (no soap).
3. For MERV-10/HEPA/Carbon Filters:
a. Replace as necessary- we recommend
checking the filtersat least 1x/year
Electrical Access
·Unscrew the 13 screws on the side panel.
·Remove the 2 screws on the
control board cover.
Pump Maintenance
Your AlorAir Refine CS120P is equipped with an integral condensate pump designed to pump water
from the dehumidifier out to the desired drain.
The pump requires routine maintenance that is not covered by the warranty.
Preventative maintenance is necessary to prevent issues from dirt and slime that may
accumulate in the drain system. This includes the drain pan, hose to the condensate pump,
pump reservoir, pump head assembly, and discharge tubing.
Coil Maintenance
·Once per year, clean the coils with an approved coil cleaner. The
coil cleaner should be a self-rinsing, foaming, cleaner, such as
WEB® Coil Cleaner.
**For more detailed instructions, visit www.alorair.com**
WARNING: Always unplug the unit before doing any maintenance.
Cleaning the Machine Body
·Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of unit. Do not use any
soap or solvents

Troubleshooting
Pump Alarm- E4 Error Code
**UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION UNTIL ERROR CODE IS CLEARED.
If E4 (pump alarm) is shown on the display, complete the following steps:
1. Reset the unit by unplugging the power cord and then reconnecting it.
2. Manually check to see if the pump is operational by pressing the drain button. Check
if the pump energizes and de-energizes properly. Additionally, check to see if any water
purged from the system.
3. If you haven’t cleaned the system recently, check the discharge line for an obstruction,
then clean as described in the Maintenance section.
4. Replace the hose and/or pump, if maintenance alone isn’t sufficient.
