•For best performance, allow at least
12-18 inches of air space on all sides
of the unit for good air circulation.

•in the basement to help prevent mois-
ture damage.
•in the kitchen, laundry room, bath-
room, and spa/exercise areas that
have excessive moisture.
•to prevent moisture damage any-
where books or valuables are stored.
• during construction or remodeling to
reduce drying time for drywall and
paint. However, check and clean
filter often.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
•When the bucket is full, or when the
bucket has been removed, the compres-
sor will automatically stop. The fan will
continue to run to dehumidify for 3
minutes. Then the Bucket Full indicator
will flash and you will hear a ten second
audible alarm.
•The bucket must be placed in the proper
position for the dehumidifier to wo_c.
The Bucket Full light will flash and the
dehumidifier will not run if the bucket is
not in the proper position. Dehumidifier
settings can not be changed when the
bucket is not in its proper position.
