General Dehumidifier Information
RECOMMENDED HUMIDITY LEVELS
 Spring/Summer: 35% - 50%
 Fall/Winter: 35% - 40%
WARM AIR EXHAUST IS NORMAL
During operation your dehumidifier will exhaust warm air from the top of the unit. This is normal operation.
EMPTYING THE BUCKET
The more moisture your dehumidifier removes from the air, the more often you may have to empty the bucket
(unless you are using the continuous drainage option). The number of times the bucket will be emptied de-
pends on the dehumidifier model.
LESS MOISTURE BEING REMOVED OVER TIME IS A GOOD THING!
Using a dehumidifier will cause your area to maintain a more comfortable humidity level. Over time, this
humidity level will become more and more stable. Due to the stable humidity level in the area, the
dehumidifier will need to remove less and less moisture over time.
Please do not be concerned if the dehumidifier is removing less moisture from the air or the bucket is taking
longer to fill up. This is a direct result of your dehumidifier creating a more stable humidity level in your area.
DON’T REMOVE THE STYROFOAM IN THE BUCKET!
All Soleus Air dehumidifiers are equipped with a reliable Styrofoam float system. The Styrofoam located in-
side the float in the bucket is essential to the bucket full system working properly. Please do not remove the
Styrofoam from the float.
