Installation Requirements
Unipdry dehumidifiers use an integrated humidistat to monitor the conditioned
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.
If the unit is installed in a crawl space, all vents should be sealed.
The area where the dehumidifier is located should be sealed with a vapor
barrier.
For the best air diffusion, install the unit so that a side panel faces the wall.
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.
Unipdry dehumidifiers are only intended for operation when the unit
is upright and level with the feet on the ground (unless using a Unipdry
Hanging Kit).
Installation
• 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.
1. Place dehumidifier on a level surface.
•
• Slide the side of hose with compression nut over the insert on the compression fitting
completely.
• Tighten compression nut.
Remove the compression nut and slide it over the end of the hose to be attached to unit.
2. Set up the drain line
3. Plug dehumidifier into a dedicated 15 amp GFCI protected outlet.
Key Functions
•
• Press once to turn machine on. You will hear two beeps and the light will
illuminate green (solid or flashing depending on mode).
• Press the power button a second time and you will hear one beepas the machine
shuts down. Note that there is a 1 minute fan delay.
Use this button to turn the dehumidifier on and off.
1.PowerKey
• Use the up and down arrows to set the desired humidity setpoint on the display
screen.
• The setpoint can be any number between 36%-90%. When theindoor humidity is
higher than the setpoint, the unit will operate.
• Keep in mind that the displayed humidity levels are approximate( +/-5%)

key to set the humidity below 36%.
• 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%.
To set the unit to run continuously regardless of humidity, simply use the down arrow
.
3.Continuous Mode
• If you need to store or move your dehumidifier, press the “Drain” button to remove water
from the integral pump’s reservoir.
4.Manual Drain Button
• If the pump reservoir level gets too high, the water sensor will activate to prevent overflow.
• When this occurs, the compressor will stop automatically, and the display will show “E4”.
After a 1 minute delay, the fan motor will turn off and the dehumidifier will not operate until the
problem has been resolved.
• Check to verify that the pump is functioning, then unplug the unit for. two minutes to reset the
error code.
5. Pump Trouble Warning
• The A5/A6 on the terminal strip can be used as a safety switch for an external float switch.
• It should be set to N/O (normally open) at the accessory float switch.
• If an E4 error occurs immediately , switch the wiring to N/C (normally closed) on external switch.
You may need to unplug the unit to reset the error code.
6. Auxillary Terminals A5/A6
Indicator Lights
• The display screen has two functions:
1. Humidity Display Screen
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.
•
• 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.
This light indicates that the unit is properly powered on and ready to operate.
2. Power Indicator 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.
3.Continuous Mode/ Auto Defrost 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.

a. Replace as necessary- we recommend checking the filters
at least 1x/year
Electrical Access
•
• Remove the screw on the
control board cover.
Unscrew the 13 screws on the side panel.
Preventative maintenance is necessary to prevent issues from dirt andslime that may
accumulate in the drain system. This includes the drainpan, hose to the condensate pump,
pump reservoir, pump head assembly,and discharge tubing
Removing the Pump
1. Remove the 13 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 1drain quick connect
